This section will describe how to configure the protocol- independent fields in this menu. For the protocol-dependent fields, please refer to the appropriate chapters.
Dial-In Configuration 63 • None - no authentication required. 3. PPP Options: Mutual Authen. - Some vendors, e.g. Cisco, implement a type of ‘mutual authentication’. That is, the node that initiates the call will request a user name and password from the far end that they are dialing to.
64 Dial-In Configuration address. This is to prevent the remote host from using an invalid IP address and potentially disrupting the whole network. If set to No, the remote host must use the IP address assigned by the Prestige from the IP pool, configured below.
Dial-In Configuration 65 sets, please see Chapter 8 on Filter Configuration. The default is blank, i.e., no filters. 14. Session Options: Idle Timeout - This value is the number of idle seconds that elapses before the dial-in user is automatically disconnected.
66 Dial-In Configuration Select one of eight users by number, this will bring you to Figure 6- 2‘Menu 14.1 - Edit Dial-in User’. Figure 6- 5 Menu 14.1 - Edit Dial-in User 1. User Name - This is a required field. This will be used as the login name for authentication.
Dial-In Configuration 67 5. Callback Phone # - If Callback is ‘Yes’, then this is a required field. Otherwise, an ‘N/A’ will appear in the field. Enter the telephone number to which the Prestige will call back. 6. Callback Override - If Callback is ‘No’, an ‘N/A’ will appear in the field.
68 Dial-In Configuration However, CLID may not be available due to your switch configuration. Besides authentication, another application of CLID is to combine it with call back. For instance, your company pays for the connection charges for telecommuting employees, and you are using the Prestige as the dial in server.
TCP/IP Configuration 69 T C P/IP Conf igura t ion This chapter shows you how to configure the Prestige for TCP/IP. Depending on your particular applications, you will need to configure different menus. For instance, Internet access is the most common application of TCP/IP.
