Dial-in and Callback Access to the OnBoard
The OnBoard administrator can configure dial-in or callback access to the OnBoard using PPP through any of the following types of modems or PCMCIA phone cards:
The PCMCIA modem and phone cards can also be accessed for logins without PPP from a terminal emulation program. Configuration is needed to enable dial-in and callback access to the OnBoard.
The following table lists the modem and phone card configuration tasks, with links to where they are documented
Note: Administrators can also configure modems through the cycli utility. See Configuring Dial-ins Using cycli for examples.
