Dial-in (Serial Port)
This Chapter details using the Serial (RS232) Port for Dial-in use.
Overview
The Serial (RS232) port can be used for Internet Access or to provide RAS (Dial-in) access to
your LAN.

If used for Internet access, the WAN (Ethernet) Port cannot be used.
•
Both Internet Access and Dial-in Access can be enabled simultaneously, but if the modem
is in use, a Dial-in user will only get a "busy" signal on their telephone line.
