Overview
Before You Begin
Configuring Your System For DialOut/IP Software
™
DialOut/IP allows computers connected to the local area network to
access modems on the SuperStack II Remote Access System (RAS) 1500,
as though the modems were directly connected to the computers. Once
connected to a modem, a network user can dial out to the Internet,
electronic bulletin board systems (BBSs), information services (such as
CompuServe), ftp sites, and e-mail sites—anything that you could access
with a modem directly connected to the computer.
Network computers communicate with the RAS 1500 over the LAN using
either DialOut/IP or Telnet. A difference between DialOut/IP and Telnet
network dial-out is that DialOut/IP supports Windows Dial-Up
Networking, and Telnet does not. So, if you need access to the Internet
over a dial-up PPP connection or any software that supports PPP
negotiation, which Windows Dial-Up Networking provides, choose
DialOut/IP.
If you do not need to use Windows Dial-Up Networking, either method is
acceptable, although Telnet is easier to set up.
This chapter details DialOut/IP. For details about Telnet dial-out, refer to
Chapter 5, "Configuring Telnet Network Dial-Out"
