The modem usage screen defines whether your modems are used for standard RAS (Dial in PPP), Modem
Sharing (network resource / modem pool for inbound calls with com port redirectors or proprietary inbound or
outbound data), or Fax (Hylafax Server).
Defining a usage allocates the modem to a specific process within the MultiAccess operating system. Each
modem is set (allocated) individually. The modem is dedicated to that usage and can not be set to more than
one.
If you are using all your modems to provide dial-in PPP for your Remote Access clients, you do not have to
modify the default modem usage settings, which is RAS. RAS usage is for inbound calls from PPP clients in a
Dial Up networking environment.
If you are using some or all of your modems as a network resource, setting the usage to Modem Sharing, you
can assign the shared modems to be part of a first available pool or each shared modem can be accessed
specifically via a unique TCP port number. Each shared port can be configured to authenticate the user before
giving access to the modem.
If you are using some or all of your modems to send or receive faxes using the integrated Hylafax server, set
the modem's usage to fax. The Fax Setup menu is used to configure the integrated Hylafax server for sending
and receiving faxes.
