Configuring Dial-In
Before you Begin
Changing the Remote
Administration
Password
There are three main steps for configuring dial-in support.
1 Change remote administration password
2 Create dial-in user profile on server or central LAN Modem
3 Create service provider profile on client or remote site
Before you begin configuration, please note the following:
Any remotely-located device you wish to access on the remote LAN Modem
must be running appropriate software, such as a Web or FTP server.
Examples of server software are Apple's Personal Web Sharing for the
Macintosh or Microsoft's Peer Web Services for Windows 95/98. Check with
your computer's accompanying documentation for more information .
A LAN Modem can only accept dial-in calls from a device that matches its own
call type.
For instance, a 56K LAN Modem will only accept dial-in calls from another 56K
LAN Modem, or another analog modem or router. Calls from an ISDN LAN
Modem or other ISDN terminal adapters are not permitted for dial-in access.
Previously, when dialing into a LAN Modem to configure it remotely or check
statistics, you were prompted to enter the password associated with the LAN
Modem's configuration parameters. Additional security has now been added
which requires a unique user name and password for remote access. This is
referred to as the Remote Admin account and is reserved for remote configuration
only. This account does not provide dial-in access to LAN or WAN resources other
than the LAN Modem configuration parameters themselves. By default the user
name is Admin and the password is 1234 . Note that the username and password
is case sensitive.
To change the default username and password (recommended), do the following.
1 Click the Dial-in button located on the LAN Modem's mainpage.
The Dial-in Configuration submenu opens.
2 Click the Dial-in Users button.
The Dial-in User Selection screen opens.
3 Select Admin and then click Next .
4 In the Username field, delete the default name and then enter a new name.
5 In the Password field, delete the default password and then enter a new
password.
