Table 8-2 lists and describes the fields in the Edit Dial-in User menu.
Table 8-2. Edit Dial-in User Fields
Field Description
User Name Choose a descriptive word for login (For example, johndoe). This field is
required and used as the login name for authentication.
Active Choose whether to allow or disallow dial-in access to this user by choosing
Active or Inactive. When set to Inactive, the user record is still kept in the
database for later activation.
Password Enter the password in this field for the remote dial-in user.
Callback Set whether the router allows callbacks to the user upon dial-in.
Three modes are provided:
• No (default)—The router does not call back to the dial-in user.
• Optional—The router calls back if the dial-in user requests it.
• Mandatory—The router always disconnects and calls back to the
dial-in user.
If callback is enabled, the router disconnects the initial call and dials back
to the specified callback number or to a number specified by the user,
depending on which option is set below.
Phone # Supplied
by Caller
If this field is Yes, the Remote Dial-in User must specify the callback
telephone number on a call-by-call basis, which is useful when the router
returns a call back to a mobile user at different numbers. The default is No
(the router always calls back to a fixed callback number). If Callback is No,
N/A appears in the field.
Callback Phone # Enter the telephone number that the router should call back.
If the previous field (Phone # Supplied by Caller) is No, this field is required.
Otherwise, N/A appears in the field.
Rem CLID If you have enabled the CLID Authen field in Menu 13, you must specify the
telephone number from which this remote dial-in user calls. The router
checks this number against the CLID in the incoming call. If they do not
match and the CLID Authen is Required, the router rejects the call.
Idle Time-out Enter the idle time (in seconds). This timeout determines how long the
dial-in user can be idle before the router disconnects the call. Idle time is
defined as the period of time when there is no data traffic between the dial-in
user and the router. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
