Prestige 480 Dual BRI ISDN Router
There are several differences between dial-in users and remote nodes, as summarized in the table.

Table 8-1 Remote Dial-in Users/Remote Nodes Comparison Chart

Remote Dial-in Users
Your Prestige will only answer calls from remote
dial-in users; it will not make calls to them.
All remote dial-in users share one common set of
parameters, as defined in the Default Dial In
Setup (Menu 13).
This chapter discusses how to setup default dial-in parameters for both remote node and remote dial-in users.
The following sections give two examples of how your Prestige can be configured as a dial-in server.
Due to memory constraints, your Prestige can only store a finite number of users locally. If there are more
remote dial-in users than what Prestige can support locally, you can use an external RADIUS server to
provide authentication service. For details on using a RADIUS server, see the Using RADIUS Authentication
section in Chapter 12 - System Security.

Dial-In Server Configuration

Dial-in Server Configuration
This chapter shows you how to configure your Prestige to receive calls from
remote dial-in users, e.g., telecommuters, as well as remote nodes.
Remote Nodes
Your Prestige can make calls to and receive calls
from the remote node.
Each remote node can have its own set of
parameters such as Bandwidth On Demand,
Protocol, Security, etc.
