callback options separately for Guest Users, Ask for Permission Users, and for
each Registered User who will be dialing in to your computer.
Remember that these settings take effect only if the calling computer requests a
callback from your computer.
Refuse Callback Request from Caller
This option—the default selection—means that your computer will not redial the
calling party under any circumstances. If the caller has requested callback, Tim-
buktu Pro hangs up and displays an alert message to the caller.
Use this option to ensure that a Dial Direct connection from this remote user is
not charged to your telephone bill.
Callback Request is Caller’s Choice
This option gives the calling party the option to request callback. If the caller has
requested callback, Timbuktu Pro hangs up and dials the remote user’s
telephone number. If callback isn’t requested, Timbuktu Pro allows the incoming
connection to continue.
Use this option for callers who may be calling from a number that your computer
can’t reach, such as a hotel room. If the number can be successfully called back,
the user initiating the connection can request callback.
Require Callback Request from Caller
This option forces the calling party to request callback to a number supplied by
the caller. If callback isn’t requested, Timbuktu Pro hangs up and displays an alert
message to the caller.
Use this option when security is important enough to justify calling back and
when you can trust the caller to supply his or her own callback number.
Require Callback to Specific Number
This option causes Timbuktu Pro to call back if the caller has requested callback
and if the caller’s current calling location, specified on the caller’s Dial Direct tab,
matches the number you specify at the bottom of the panel. If not, Timbuktu Pro
hangs up and displays an alert message to the caller.
Use this option when security is so important that your computer should be al-
lowed to call only the number you specify. This option prevents the caller from
