Configuring your router for a dial-in application
Using an ISDN TA and Win9x Dial-Up Networking you can dial into Prestige router with callback and without callback

- Introduction

This configuration note explains how to set up a workstation using an ISDN TA to connect to the Prestige router. In this configuration, the workstation must have TCP/IP dial-up program installed such as Windows Dial-up Networking to make the call. Once the connection is established, the workstation will be able to perform any TCP/IP applications (e.g., FTP, Telnet, etc.). There will be two items that you need to set up for this connection. They are the workstation and the Prestige router.

- Configuration

- Setting up the Win9x Dial-Up Networking(DUN)

To set up the DUN for this connection, you will need to set the following parameters:

- Phone number- the phone number of the Prestige router
- Internet account-Username and Password
- IP Address-the IP address in this case will be dynamically assigned by the Prestige. Generally, you should simply enter 0.0.0.0 into the IP address field.
- DNS (Domain Name Server) Address- the IP address of the DNS server on the remote LAN.
- Default Gateway-the IP address of the Prestige.

Please find the last three settings in Win9x>Dial-Up Networking>Properties>Server Types>TCP/IP Settings.

- Setting up the Prestige

Before configuring the Prestige for this application, you need to first complete the following settings.

- General Setup in SMT menu 1-enter the system information.
- ISDN Setup in SMT menu 2-Configure the ISDN number
- Ethernet Setup in SMT menu 3-enter the IP address of the Prestige and enable the DHCP server if it is required.

To setup the Prestige for this application, make sure you have the following menus configured correctly.

- Default Dial-in Setup in SMT menu 13
- Edit Dial-in User in SMT menu 14

1. Ethernet Setup in SMT Menu 3

`` `Menu 3.2 - TCP/IP and DHCP Ethernet Setup` `DHCP Setup:` `DHCP= None` `Client IP Pool Starting Address= N/A` `Size of Client IP Pool= N/A` `Primary DNS Server= N/A` `Secondary DNS Server= N/A` `TCP/IP Setup:` `IP Address= 192.68.135.1` `IP Subnet Mask= 255.255.255.0` `RIP Direction= Both` `Version= RIP-2B` `Edit IP Alias= No`

2. Default Dial-in Setup in SMT Menu 13

`Menu 13 - Default Dial-in Setup` `Telco Options: IP Address Supplied By:` `CLID Authen= None Dial-in User= No` `IP Pool=` `Yes` `PPP Options: IP Start Addr=` `192.68.135.10` `Recv Authen= CHAP/PAP IP Count(1,4)= 4` `Compression= Yes` `Mutual Authen= NO Session Options:` `O/G Username= N/A Edit Filter Sets= No` `O/G Password= N/A` `Multiple Link Options:` `Max Trans Rate(Kbps)= 128` `` `Callback Budget Management:` `Allocated Budget(min)= 0` `Period(hr)= 0` `Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:`

- The Recv Authen field should be set to the type of authentication protocol you want to use.
- Since the workstation needs to have its IP address assigned, set the IP Address Supplied By: Dial-in User field to 'No'.
- Make sure that IP Pool is set to 'Yes'.
- In IP Start Addr, enter the IP address that you want to assign to the workstation when it dials in. In our example, this would be '192.68.135.10'.
- All the common properties in Menu 13 will be applied to all dial-in users.

Note: If the remote user uses the Win9x to dial in, the Recv Authen must be set to PAP because Windows 9x will not respond to any periodic CHAP challenge sent by the Prestige and will cause the Prestige to drop the call.

3. Edit Dial-in User Setup in SMT menu 14.1

- Dial-in user without callback

`Menu 14.1 - Edit Dial-in User` `User Name= abc` `Active= Yes` `Passwd= *********` `Callback= No` `Phone # Supplied by Caller= N/A` `Callback Phone #= N/A` `Rem CLID=` `Idle Timeout= 100`

The User Name and Password fields should be set to the login username and password that the workstation will provide when dialing in to the Prestige. Set the Active field to 'Yes'.

- Dial-in user with callback

`Menu 14.1 - Edit Dial-in User` `User Name= abc` `Active= Yes` `Passwd= *********` `Callback= Mandatory` `Phone # Supplied by Caller= Yes` `Callback Phone #= N/A` `Rem CLID=` `Idle Timeout= 100`

There are two options for the callback, Mandatory and Optional. If the Mandatory is configured, the Prestige router has to callback anyway. If the Optional is configured, the dial-in user will have the chance to cancel the callback.

The number for calling back to the dial-in user can be specified by the user during the connection or pre-configured in the Callback Phone # field of the Prestige.
