Ports for Unidirectional Support

By default, ports are bidirectional; each port supports both dial-in and dial-out operations. Perform this procedure to make ports unidirectional. For example, if you have a port connected to a 1-800 telephone number, enable the port for dial-in operation only.

Skip this section if you want to use all remote access server ports for dialing in and dialing out, the default port usage setting.

To set the direction of the remote access ports, complete the following steps:

1. Select Set Up... from the Remote Access Options window.

   The System Setup Options window is displayed.

2. Select Define Remote Access Port Usage.

   The Port Usage Options window is displayed.

3. Select a port usage option: Dial-In Only, Dial-Out Only, or Both Dial-In and Dial-Out.

   A list of ports for that port usage option is displayed. Select an option from the Port Usage Options window to display the list of ports for that option. Press Ins to add ports to that option. Press Del to delete ports from that option.

4. Do one or more of the following:

   • Press Ins, then select a port from the list of ports and add it to the port usage list.
   • Select a port from the port usage list and press Del to remove it from that option and move it to another option.

5. Press Esc to return to the System Setup Options window.
