Dial-In Users 9

Dialing in to the NetBlazer gives a remote user access to the network as if

their workstation is connected directly the network. For example, remote IP

users who are logged in to the NetBlazer can issue a telnet or rlogin com-

mand to reach a network host.

Figure 9-1. A Dial-in User Connecting to Your NetBlazer

The NetBlazer can work with four different types of dial-in users:

• ARA users

• IP users

• IPX users

• Character-mode (terminal) users

Once the user is set up as one of these four types of users, the user type can

not be changed; if you want to change the user from one type to another, you

need to delete the user and recreate the user as that other type.

The remote IP or IPX user’s workstation or terminal must be running

software that supports PPP or SLIP packet framing. Remote AppleTalk

users must use ARA software.

Remote users running on a terminal or running terminal emulation software

can establish a connection as a character-mode user. Only character-mode

users can have the possibility of seeing the status of the NetBlazer or

configuring the NetBlazer remotely. In addition, when a character-mode
