DI-1162 Remote Access Router
to implement – we have described some of the basic functions and
procedures below.
Dial-In User Connections
Dial-in users are defined as a single user on a computer, such as a
person working at home, who dials into the office to use network
resources. In almost all cases, a Dial-In User Profile needs to be set up
for each user who will dial in to the router so the router can tailor the
connection for each user. Once this is done, the remote user will be
able to use network resources as if he were connected locally. When
the user dials into the DI-1162, the call comes into the WAN port and
after answering the phone, the DI-1162:
1.
Identifies the Username and Password using the authentication
protocol defined in the Interface Configuration, WAN submenu.
The dial-in user is not prompted for this information, but must
enter it into his dialing software before dialing.
2.
Checks the Username and Password against those defined in the
Dial-In User Profiles and Remote Network Profiles.
3.
Assuming a matching Dial-In User Profile is found, the router
may configure the IP address of the remote station (as defined in
the Dial-In User Profile).
4.
Configures a dial-in Interface (a virtual circuit) to handle the
connection.
5.
Establishes the connection.
6.
In the case where the Dial-In User does not need to supply a
Username and Password (Auth Type is set to None in the Interface
Configuration submenu) the remote computer must have its own
IP address.
Remote Network Connections
Remote networks are defined as other networks (LANs) that have
WAN connections using a router, Internet server, network modem or
similar device (in this document however, we will assume the remote
