ARRIS Timbuktu for Macintosh v8.8.3- Getting Started Guide - Manual (Page 46)

Getting Started with Timbuktu Pro for Macintosh | 46
• Select the Only Accept Secure (SSH) Incoming Connections check box to allow
incoming connections only when they are secured with SSH. Note that this
option will require the remote user to have a Mac OS X User account on your
computer, which will limit incoming access to other users of Timbuktu Pro
version 8.
• Select the Register with Bonjour check box to register Timbuktu Pro’s host
service with Bonjour whenever Timbuktu Pro starts up. This allows the remote
users on your network to find your computer for Timbuktu Pro connections. If
you disable this option, other Timbuktu Pro users will not be able to use the
Bonjour tab to connect to your computer.
• Select the Respond to TCP/IP Scanner check box to enable your computer to
respond when another Timbuktu Pro computer uses the TCP/IP Scanner to
search the network. If you disable this option, other Timbuktu Pro users will
not be able to use the TCP/IP Scanner tab to connect to your computer.
Setting Dial Direct Preferences
The Dial Direct tab in the Preferences dialog box lets you specify your modem’s
properties and control the way in which your modem responds to incoming calls.
In most cases, the default settings are suitable. Do not change the Modem Con-
nection or Modem Handling settings unless you are experienced with modem
configuration.
By default, Timbuktu Pro will not answer incoming Dial Direct calls. If you wish to
accept Dial Direct connections, you must set up Dial Direct privileges in the Define
Users dialog box. You may grant Dial Direct access to Guest Users (which allows
anyone to use Dial Direct to connect to your computer) or assign it only to specific
Registered Users. See
“Setting up Timbuktu Pro for Incoming Dial Direct Access”
on page 102 .
To change your Dial Direct options
1. From the Setup menu, choose Preferences.
2. Click the Dial Direct tab.
