How the 833IS Works
66 Perle 833IS User Guide
Dial-Out Access With Perle Dial-Out Client software, LAN attached PCs can use the PerleDSP
Modem and lines of the 833IS as Dial-Out modems. To the PC application, the
PerleDSP Modem and line attached to the 833IS look like a modem connected to the
PC COM port. Most PC applications that require a modem are supported. With
appropriate software, users can connect to a BBS, Internet provider, or any other
service accessible by the telephone network. When used with WinFax Pro, users can
send faxes from their PC.
The Dial-Out client communicates with the 833IS using either IP or IPX protocol.
When the Dial-Out client starts, he locates all 833IS servers on the network which
are available for Dial-Out. For each Server, a list of lines that can be used for Dial-
Out are displayed.
The 833IS works with the Dial-Out client to emulate an external modem connected
to a COM port at the PC. This is supported using the following interfaces:
DOS
■ INT14
■ Novell NASI/NACI
