Network Dial In Access
NETServer 8/16 Plus provides dial-in network access for remote
users. Remote IP, IPX, or AppleTalk networked users can dial
in and attach to the local network as if they were local nodes.
Packets transmitted over the dial-in connection are encapsulated
using the following protocols:
• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)
• SLIP (Serial Line IP Protocol)
• ARAP (AppleTalk Remote Access Protocol).
NETServer Plus offers access security, dialback, and substantial
configurability for dial-in network connections. See Figure 2
below.
