Dial-in Console Access

Remote modem terminal emulator setups can dial in to either internal modem line and establish a remote
console session, even though they are not using PPP. This allows Netopia Inc.'s “Up and Running, Guaranteed!”
depar tment or other administrator with the appropriate security to remotely configure your router for you. If you
used Smar tStar t to configure your router, this option will be set to “No”.

To prevent any remote caller from establishing a remote session, leave the option Enable Dial-in Console
Access set to “No”.

To allow access for Up and Running, Guaranteed! with the default name and password in place, toggle this
option to “Yes”.
