Local Users Data Base Screen

The Local Users menu is used to build an internal user data base when Modem Sharing with Local
Authentication, in the Modem Setup menu, is selected and/or when the Authentication Type is set to local
in the Authentication menu. The administrator builds the data base by creating a record for each user. A
user record contains; Name, User ID, Password, and callback elements. The administrator account has
both administration of the MultiAccess and dial-in and dial-out rights. The user accounts have dial-in and
dial-out rights. The remote user enters their User ID and password at the beginning of the dial-in session.
