Dial-In Configuration 6-1
Chapter 6
Dial-In Configuration
You can configure the router to receive calls from remote dial-in users (for example,
telecommuters) and remote nodes. Several differences exist between remote dial-in users and
remote nodes:
• The router can make calls to or answer calls from the remote node, but the remote dial-in user
calls are incoming or callback only.
• Each remote node can have its own set of parameters such as security and callback; however,
all remote dial-in users share one common set, as defined in the Default Dial In Setup (Menu
13).
• Typically, remote dial-in users are individual users who dial in to the router directly from
their workstations, while remote nodes represent networks and are used for LAN-to-LAN
connections.
This chapter discusses how to set up default dial-in parameters for both a remote node and a
remote dial-in user, and how to set up individual profiles for dial-in users.
Default Dial-In Setup
This section covers the default dial-in parameters. The parameters in Menu 13 affect incoming
calls from all remote dial-in users and remote nodes before authentication is completed. After
authentication is completed, if it matches a remote node, the router uses parameters from that
particular remote node.
From the Main Menu, enter 13 to display Menu 13 - Default Dial-in Setup.
When you finish filling in Menu 13 - Default Dial-in Setup, press [Enter] at the ENTER to
Confirm... prompt to save your selections. You can press [Esc] at any time to cancel your
selections.
