Connecting with Direct Dial
A Niagara host can connect to other Niagara devices by dialing them directly. This
can be the only connection between hosts, or be a supplementary connection (a
secondary connection to a host already on a LAN).
This chapter covers how to set up these devices for direct access. It includes the
following topics:
• Niagara Considerations
• Configuring Direct Dial on the JACE-4/5
• Configuring Direct Dial on the JACE-NP
• Configuring Direct Dial on an Engineering PC
• Using Direct Dial
This section does not cover connecting a Niagara host to an Internet service provider.
You can find that information in Chapter 5, “Connecting to an ISP.”
Niagara Considerations
This section discusses typical system architectures and best practices when
connecting Niagara devices with direct dial. It includes the following topics:
• System Architectures
• About Dialing between Niagara Hosts
• Design Considerations
Before reading further, if you are not already familiar with connecting Niagara
devices on a LAN, you may want to review Chapter 3, “Connecting on a LAN.”
