All dial-in users share one common set of parameters, as defined in the Default Dial In Setup (Menu 13). Each remote node can have its own set of parameters such as call budget, etc. 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.
