Dial-in Access Types and Options
Dial-in Access Types and Options
Authorized users can dial into the OnSite through any of the three following
types of devices:
• Internal modem
• Optional external modem connected to an AUX port
• Optional modem PCMCIA card
• Optional GSM or CDMA phone PCMCIA card
All types of modems or phone cards can be accessed through PPP when the
following prerequisites are done:
• The modem has been configured for PPP on the OnSite end.
• The PPP application at the remote caller’s end has been configured for
dial-in and optional callback access.
A PCMCIA modem or other phone card can also be accessed for login access
from a terminal emulation program. Once you plug in the modem card and
connect it to a dedicated phone line, no configuration is needed to enable dial-
in access. However, for callback to work, the OnSite administrator must
configure the modem or phone card for callback.
The following list provides links to the section and procedures for connecting
to modems.
