You can configure your Prestige to receive calls from remote dial-in users (for example,
Telecommuters) and remote nodes. There are several differences between dial-in users and
remote nodes, as summarized in Table 6-1.
Table 6-1. Remote Dial-in Users/Remote Nodes Comparison Chart
Remote Dial-in Users
Your Prestige will only answer calls from dial-in
users.
All 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 for both.
6.1

Telecommuting

Telecommuting enables people to work at remote sites and yet still have access to the
resources in the business office. Typically, a telecommuter will use a client workstation with
TCP/IP and dial-out capabilities (for example, a Windows 95 PC or a Macintosh) connected
to a modem. For telecommuters to call in to your LAN, you need to configure a dial-in user
profile for each telecommuter. Additionally, you need to configure the Default Dial-In Setup
to set the operational parameters for all dial-in users. You can configure up to eight dial-in
users for your Prestige.
