Instructions for using a dial-up network
This section explains about using a dial-up network.
Note:
The primary server described in this manual indicates a primary time server which offers time to the
workstations on the network.
Using a dial-up network in each mode
Print Server mode
You must use a dedicated dial-up line.
Since polling is performed on the file server in the print server mode, no vicarious response
by the router is possible. Therefore, no dial-up connection is possible in this case.
Remote Printer mode
In Remote Printer mode, use of a router with a vicarious response function allows the
primary server to be installed at the dial-up destination. However, an extra account might
be generated when the primary server is down. To avoid that, it is recommend to use
connections via a dedicated dial-up line.
Follow the instructions for using a dial-up line.
When there is a primary server at the dial-up destination
For local networks with file servers:
❏ When the power is turned on
A dial-up is generated because access is made to a local file server first and then to a
primary server. There is no problem since this dial-up only occurs at startup.
❏ When the network interface is not correctly set
A dial-up is generated because access is made to a local file server first and then to a
primary server. This dial-up is repeated at intervals of approximately 5 minutes. Make
the network interface settings correctly to avoid this problem.
