What are the different types of dial-up remote access?

There are several remote access applications that are well-suited for dial-up remote access products: LAN-to-LAN connectivity, Internet/intranet access, remote user access and modem pooling. A dial-up connection between two networks is termed as an LAN-to-LAN connection.

How do I set up a remote dial-in profile?

The remote RADES must be set up to authenticate the phone call from the local RADES. Click Dial-In>User Configuration, Select an unused Dial-In Profile, fill in the appropriate username and password, make sure to change the state to active.

What is dial back in network security?

Dial back is one method that can be inexpensively used to enhance security when it is supported by a remote access product. Routers allow the network manager to filter packets. This capability can be used to ensure that particular types of packets are not allowed from remote access server ports to the main network.

How do I cycle the modem remotely?

THE MODEM WILL NOT LOAD THE NEW IP, AND SUBNET ADDRESS UNTIL POWER IS CYCLED Power can be cycled remotely through the management interface by: 1. Click “Diagnostics” folder 2. Click “Controller Restart” (Note: This restarts the modem only, this will not restart the PLC and all communications will be interrupted)

What is dial up remote access?

Dial-up remote access requires only plain old telephone service (POTS) or ISDN lines, and allows users to make connections to many resources, from corporate headquarters, to bulletin board services, to the Internet/Intranet. Dial-up remote access also allows travelling or telecommuting remote users to connect to their network as if they were located on-site.

What is a good remote access product?

In LAN-to-LAN application, the two primary ingredients for a good remote access product are the ability to make automatic connections when necessary (routing capability) and the ability to allow the network manager to control the network connections via parameter selection (link management). For the busy network manager, operation of these dial-up connections will require little or no involvement other than the initial configuration; for the user, they will gain what appears to be a transparent connection to the required remote resources.

What is remote node access?

Remote node network access allows remote users to connect to a network using a modem. Remote node users are typically mobile or telecommuter users who run a remote client software package on their PC or workstation giving them network access through a dial-up server. Remote node access to the network has become easier because of the TCP/IP or IPX support that's been built into Windows95 and other operating systems. Most of the current demand for such services involves either IP (Unix) or IPX (Novell NetWare) protocols.

Why is modem pooling important?

For the network manager, modem pooling provides the added conveniences of easy maintenance because all modems are in one location, and easy management as remote access servers typically have more robust network management than modems. Protocols such as IP and IPX support the sharing of modem resources through software tools available under a host or network operating system ( the remote access device that supports these applications provides ever greater value. INT14 support under IPX and redirection of serial port output to a communications port using IP and IPX protocols are essential features that this type of software should support.

Why is remote control important?

Remote control is useful when a user needs a lot of processing power or number crunching capability, because only the serial information sent to the keyboard, mouse and display need pass over the dial-up link. The drawback of this approach is that the user can only view the information and cannot transfer files or obtain data to be processed on their remote system. Remote control is more frequently used with the IPX (NetWare) protocol; IP users can use terminal servers to achieve the same result when a multi-user host is available.

What is bandwidth on demand?

More advanced functions include an automatic time-out for connections if the packets being transmitted are not data (i.e., they are keep alive signals generated by the NOS), policy-based filtering of packets from particular nodes or particular protocol types and bandwidth on demand in which the remote access server brings up an additional connection to a remote network to increase available bandwidth to that site. With bandwidth-on-demand, the network manager specifies the desired throughput threshold for the extra line to be added or to be taken down and this feature is enabled when the threshold is reached and a second line is available.

What is remote control?

Remote control is achieved when the remote user dials into the network and takes control of a PC residing on the network. The remote user's keyboard then becomes the equivalent of the slave PC's keyboard, allowing the remote user to act as if they were physically working on the slave PC.

What is modem support?

The modem support means you can connect a stand alone modem (if you can find one today. Do you remember US Robotics?) to the Soundweb serial port, and connect it to a regular telephone line.

Can you provide details on exact equipment and cables needed?

Could you provide details on exact equipment and cables needed? That depends on what you want to achieve and which method you choose.

Can I use a modem card on Soundweb Designer?

Can I use the modem card inside the desktop computer that Soundweb Designer is on? -Yes, if you intendent using a modem on the 9088. But there are bettet ways of achieving remote access!

What is the default time for a modem?

Default: 95, (.095 seconds) phone company standard Controls the S11 register of the modem, controls the length of time that the tones are transmitted by the modem when dialing an outgoing call.

How long should a modem wait to disconnect?

Default: 14 (tenths of a second or 1.4 seconds) Should be set to at least 50 for cellular connections Amount of time the modem must wait after losing carrier from the remote modem before disconnecting.

What is the purpose of Bootp protocol?

Commonly used with AB Ethernet products, defined by RFC 951, BOOTP protocol is used by a client machine to locate its IP address and network mask. Bootp ties the IP address to the MAC hardware address; therefore Bootp will always assign the same address to the same Hardware.

What is a 9300-rades?

The 9300-RADES functions as a DHCP/BOOTP server. This is not to be confused with BOOTP/DHCP client which allows the 9300-RADES to receive and address from a DHCP/BOOTP server.

How to calculate dB loss on phone line?

Calculate dB loss on the phone line by subtracting from -10dB. In the example above, the line has 15.6 dB loss, problems will begin at about 40-45 dB loss.

What is NAT in router?

A Network Address Translator (NAT) is an IP router defined in RFC 1631 that can translate IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers of packets as they are being forwarded. Consider a small business network with multiple computers connecting to the Internet. A small business would normally have to obtain an Internet Service Provider (ISP)–allocated public IP address for each computer on their network. With NAT, however, the small business can use private addressing (as described in RFC 1597) and have the NAT map its private addresses to a single or to multiple public IP addresses as allocated by its ISP.

When is the 9300-RADES read N/A?

This will read N/A when connected, unless the phone line has caller ID enabled and the user has not dialed in anonymously. The value will always be N/A when no one is connected. Displays the phone number of the caller that is dialed into the 9300-RADES

How to dial up to private network?

Go to ControlPanel/Network Dial- up Connections. Click on Make New Connection. Select Dial-up to Private Network and follow instructions to Finishto add Dial- up Connectionicon

What is a signal on a modem?

Signal is an input to the modem. Device is ready to receive data from the modem. No Handshaking is being used or device is not communicating with the modem. DCD signal: modem connected Modem is off-line. DTR signal: modem connected No DTR signal coming from the connected device. Not Communicating TX- Transmit FLASHING ORANGE Communicating OUT RX - Receive FLASHING ORANGE Communicating OUT Not Communicating CS - Clear to Send (CTS) GREEN Signal to the connected device that the modem is ready to receive data. CS is set to on by default. This signal is an output of the modem. OUT Modem is not ready to receive. RS - Request to Send (RTS) GREEN OUT CD - Carrier Detect (DCD) GREEN OUT TR - Data Terminal Ready (DTR) GREEN OUT Do a factory reset of the modem No Action needed No Action needed No Action needed No Action needed No Action needed No Action needed No Action needed No Action needed No Action needed No Action needed No Action needed
