OoB Dial-In access
To enable OoB dial-in access, you first configure the ECS0016 gateway
(and once set up for dial-in PPP access, the gateway will await an incom-
ing connection from a dial-in at remote site). Then set up the remote client
dial-in software so it can establish a network connection from the Admin-
istrator’s client modem to the dial in modem on the ECS0016.
