Dial In/Out Modes
The CN2600 provides dial-in/dial-out access for ISPs and enterprises that need a remote access solution. When
a user at a remote site uses a PPP dial-up connection to access the CN2600, the CN2600 plays the role of a
dial-up server, but also ensures that the user has legal access to the network by verifying the user’s identity
with the CN2600 User Table or a RADIUS server. Please refer to the Misc. Network Settings section in Chapter
8, System Management Settings, for instructions on setting up the CN2600 User Table.
The CN2600 supports PPP, SLIP, and Terminal modes for dial-in/dial-out access. Regardless of which operating
system is used, you will always be able to use standard PPP dial-up to establish a connection. The CN2600 can
also act as a router to connect serial ports to a WAN connection. Routing protocols (including static, RIP I, and
RIP II) can be adjusted to route different WAN connections.
Please refer to Chapter 5, Configuration with Web Console, for detailed information and configuration
instructions.
Disabled Mode
You can disable any port on the CN2600 by setting the operation mode to Disabled.
