Connecting via dial up connection

On a cisco router that has an aux port can be set up with a dial up connection as a backup. But, my question is how is this set up? for example, Do I plug in a land line to the router, setup the router aux port, and then dial in from anywhere? Or, is it the same as explained previously, but instead of plugin in a land line to the router I need a modem such as the Multi Tech MultiModem ZDX V.92 Voice/Data/Fax Modem? so it will be connected phone to modem and modem to router?
Thank you.

You would connect phone line to modem and connect modem to aux port.

Internal modem failing to connect via dial-up

I'm new to posting questions. Every time I try to connect using dial-up I get the message failed to detect dial tone. I tried to connect in different buildings and using new phone line (wire?) with no success. Tonight I created a new location in network preferences, tried and failed. Created a new user as a test, tried and failed. I cannot try in another building for a day or so. Anybody able to help? Thanks.

Hi Again starlite!
I hope you're feeling better.
Have you ever been able to connect with the PowerBook?
I don't know about your PowerBook, but on my iMac, the Modem port & the Ethernet port look very similar. Make sure you haven't inadvertently plugged into the Ethernet port.
Below is how I set my Network Preferences, using AOL. I don't know if the same configuration will work for you, but it may help to compare how yours are set. What ISP are you using? I'm guessing that you're on campus.
If you have any questions, please ask them before preceeding.
First, be sure you know what version of Modem you are using.
Disconnect from the Internet.
Navigate to:
HD > USERS > YOUR HOME > LIBRARY > PREFERENCES
If present, move to Trash:
com.apple.internetpref.plist (a file)
com.apple.internetconnect.plist (a file)
com.apple.internetconfig.plist (a file)
Don't empty the Trash just yet.
Before you change the settings below, you might want to make notes, or take screen shots of your present configurations.
Then, open System Preferences > Network
Location: Select "Automatic"
Show: Select "Internal Modem"
On the PPP screen, click PPP Options. UNCHECK ALL options
On the TCP/IP screen, Configure using IPv4: Select "Using PPP"
On the Modem screen, Select your modem from the list. I'm using an iMac (Summer 2001), and I have "Apple Internal 56K Modem (v.90)" selected.
Check "Enable error correction and compression in modem"
"Wait for dial tone before dialing"
"Dialing": Tone
"Sound": On
"Show modem status in menubar" (This isn't necessary, I just like to keep track of it)
Also select your Country.
Then, still in "Network" preferences,
Location: "Automatic"
Show: "Network Port Configurations"
Make sure "Internal Modem" is checked and at the top of the window.
Click "Apply Now" at the bottom of the screen.
Quit System Preferences.
Sometimes changing the access number that you use will also help. Do you know how to do that?
Good Luck!

Modem of A200_10X fails to connect via dial up

The notebook was bought in Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia and is being used in India.
The modem does not support dial up connections.

Hi
I think you can not use the modem dial up connection because you are in another country.
Please remove or configure again the Modem region select utility.
This can be found under Programs -> Toshiba -> Networking -> Modem region select
greetings from germany ;)

Powerbook G4 can't connect via ethernet but connects via airport

We have a small office network connected to an Efficient Networks DSL router that's managed by our isp. The router has 4 ports and a linksys 8 port switch is connected to one of those ports. Another D-Link wireless router/switch is connected to another port.
2 i-macs connect without problem via ethernet cable. They are set to DHCP and get 192.xx private addresses. Both run 10.4.5. Another older imac running 9.2.2. also has no problems.
I recently purchased a powerbook G4 and it will not connect via ethernet to the Efficient networks router. At first it was connected to the linksys, so decided to connect it direct to the Efficient Networks router. With DHCP, it acquires a 169. internet address which is self generated (i.e. no real connection). I tried to give it a static private address (talking to the isp provider). They could see the powerbook but saw all zero's (presumable mac address). By the way the Powerbook works perfectly at home connected via ethernet cable to a D-Link router connected to a cable modem so it's not a physical problem. I even checked the ethernet cable I used in the office with another computer - no problem.
When I switch to airport in the office, the powerbook connects to the network and the internet. I get some strange warning messages showing the server's and the router's private ip addresses. I click ok, and the powerbook finds an unassigned private ip address. It's the only way it will work, but it causes problems, because I can't connect to one of the network printers. Speed also isn't great.
Can anyone give me advise how to proceed. I am no expert on this stuff so keep it as simple as possible.
Tks

Tim,
Thanks for your help. Here's what I've done before reading your e-mail. The D-Link DI-524 wireless router is connected to the Effiicent Neworks DSL router as you mentioned. One ethernet port of the EFF.Net. router is connected to the WAN port of the DI-514.
Because I have a D-Link router at home which works flawlessly with my powerbook, I decided to connect the ethernet cable of the powerbook to the D-Link which has 4 ethernet ports. Lo and behold, the powerbook acquired a private ip address and connected to the LAN and internet!
When I connected the powerbook direct to the Efficient Networks router, it could not communicate. I believe that there must be some software incompatibility between the powerbook and the Efficient Networks router. By connecting to the D-Link, the D-Link assigned an ip address to the powerbook, and it could connect to the server, lan, etc..
Only problem is that I have a Brother network printer that cannot connect to the powerbook. My powerbook cannot find it on the network. Because there is a linksys switch connected to the efficient networks router's third ethernet port, maybe as you said, going through the D-Link via DHCP (when the Linksys is also acting as a DHCP server, might cause this type of problem. What do you think?
As a final note, other imac G5's connected to the linksys switch (which then connects to the Efficient Network's router) have no problem connecting to the lan or internet and have no problem connecting to any of the printers. When I put the powerbook on that switch, I could not connect to the internet - i.e. whether connecting via the lynksys switch or direct with the efficient networks router - same results: no internet connection whether manually or via DHCP.
So the imac G5 has no problem with the efficient networks router but the powerbook G4 hits a brick wall. The G4 likes the D-Link router. I am concerned (and I will have to check this) that if I turn off the dhcp server feature from the D-Link, that whatever software issue crops up between the powerbook and the Efficient Networks router, will rise up again, because the D-Link will act like a simple switch (just like my linksys switch), and we'll be back to square zero. In any case, no harm in trying. This may be the cause of the Powerbook not seeing that Brother printer (even though it sees another printer and other macs).
Having spent hours reading about network problems, I think it's safe to say that macs have problems with certain routers. Why a G5 works and a powerbook G4 doesn't is beyond me, but clearly software must play a role.

Automatically connect the Internet via dial up connection?

Hi all,
I am using LabVIEW 6i. I require to connect the internet via modem. I want this to be done automatically. I read some of the discussion here which discuss some AT protocols. Sorry, but I am not aware of these protocols.
After this auto connection I want to get data from some links. I think this I could using URL property of the windows' browser. If some one has other options please let me know.
Thanking you.
Vishal Shah.

I'm not sure I understand your problem. Do you want to dial up a flow controller and talk to it via
Modbus? I am familiar with Modbus and modem connects.

No Modem - How to connect Via Dial UP?

as there is no modem in the mac book pro computers, how can i configure it to use while on holiday where the only connection is a dial-up?
is there any way i can use an old airport base station i have as a modem to go through a dial up?
any information will be helpful.

Methinks the Airport base station is not going to work as a solution when you want dialup.
What you need is a modem. Apple do a USB modem which is $49 (or whatever the equivalent is wherever you may be), but you ought to find this fast and check the settings before you leave. Trying to do anything on the fly like this always has its own set of problems.
Other modems may work, but you need to think about compatibility between modem, computer and OS.

Installing and set-up a dial up connection with an USB modem

Hello.
I moved recently to London, and due to some kind of critical lack of financial sustainability, I cannot afford to pay monthly a decent Internet connection. However I have a phone line on my house so I was thinking on using a USB 56k modem to connect via dial-up to Internet (my laptop don't have any integrated modem or PCMCIA port). But I honestly don' t know if that will work (all references googling send me to setting up a 3g modem, which is not the case)
What should I do? It will work fine? I remember vagely using ppp-on years ago, and editing some files... But I recknon I wont use anymore tty0 or tty1 if it is a USB device (I am using a custom kernel, so after going for work I' ll do a make menuconfig to check driver aviability). And just for curiosity... It will have dial-up tone? If I have to go nostalgic I' d rather experience the full thing.
Thanks in advance

http://www.freeukisp.co.uk/about-dial-u … access.htm
It is the first result googling "free dial up uk", but there is quite a bunch out of there. I only need to look and choose. In Spain at least, I didn't had to pay (just the call rate, wich was free for local calls, so yep, free)
I use the temrinal, and when in X, fvwm95, so I assume wvdial is for me.
Thanks for the quick answers

IBook G3 and dial-up connection with OS Tiger

Hi: I have an iBook G3, 700mhz, 640 RAM, 20g HD, and have been running OS9. I´m now switching to OSX (Tiger 10.4.6). At my base location I have access to a high-speed connection, but quite frequently I must go places where there is only dial-up available. Will I still be able to connect via dial-up when I switch over to OSX and, if so, how do I configure the connection settings, etc.?
Thanks for your help and comments.

Yes... In OS 10.x you can connect via the internal modem.eithernet ,or airport.
Apple Menu->system preferences->network -> Show (drop down menu) -> select internal modem check box.

Can i connect via vpn on a mac to a windows computer

I know this question has probably been asked a number of times but: Can a Mac be used to connect via a VPN connection to a Windows machine? I need to do this to access a Windows desktop via remote access. Have not found a way to do it yet.

Yes, it can. Restore it on the PC; doing so on the Mac will put it in a format the PC can't use.

Can't connect via PPPoE in menu bar

Hello,
After not touching my Network Configuration settings for like three years, a glitch in my Unison 1.8.1 newsreader prompted me to go in to check, but I then encountered the prompt that has been afflicting lots of people: "Network settings have been changed by another application."
So after some research here and via Google, I deleted /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist and restarted the computer with the file still in the trash.
I then manually reentered my ISP Network Configuration info (TCP/IP and PPPoE, as I use ADSL), but since then, I have only been able to connect via the Internet Connect program, rather than my preferred method that I've always used of connecting by using the PPPoE drop-down menu "Connect" command in the menu bar in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen.
Going back to System Preferences' Network Configuration, showing the Built-in Ethernet's PPPoE panel, the "Show PPPoE status in menu bar" box remains checked, and indeed does display in the menu bar, however, only with a functioning "Disconnect" command -- NOT the "Connect" command, whose functionality I am seeking to restore.
I realize this is more of a cosmetic problem, as I can still connect via the Internet Connect program, but would appreciate any tips for restoring the functionality of the PPPoE drop-down menu "Connect" command in the menu bar. Thanks in advance!

Hi Steve, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist

Then reboot once more.

Dial-up connection on NB-100 notebook

I want to connect my dial-up connection through my telephone line, but it says no modem..
Even there is only ethernet port and no phone line port in the laptop.
Please help me how to work it out.

Hello Hasan
If your notebook doesnt have modem port how you want to use dial-up connection?
You can use LAN connection and connect your notebook to the router. Thats all.

Gilson 307 pump which are connected via a system interface module 506C

hello,
I have a master's thesis received the task to control gilson pumps.
Unfortunately I have no experience with LabView.
It is generally possible to steer the pump? I read a lot and it will describe this is not possible. But I have a compoliertes Pogramm and unfortunately can not get the source code and the driver. There you can control the pumps.
Can one of you help. I would be very grateful.
hardware:
three Gilson 307 which are connected via a system interface module 506C. The interface module is connected via an RS232 connection.

Thanks for the extra comments GerdW.
Perhaps there is someone who wants to help me, in the manual are not the commands available. Even the technicians of Gilson I could not tell from his documentation of the command sets.

Help downloading adobe reader via dial-up

Lync client won't connect to a conference via dial-in number hosted on deterrent pool than conference.

I have been
troubleshooting a very strange issue with Lync clients being unable to connect
to a conference via dial-in number when the conference is hosted on a different
pool. This happens internally and there is no media gateway or SIP trunk
involved.<o:p></o:p>
Users are
unable to join a conference from Polycom CX phones and Lync 2013/2010 software clients
by dialling conference Dial-in number which is located on a different pool than
actual conference. Users are prompted to input their conference ID, however,
they are never connected to the conference (10 min silence followed by error
announcement). <o:p></o:p>
This only
happens if the dial-in number is homed on a different pool than conference.
Both pools are Lync 2013 Standard Edition running on Windows Server 2012.
Servers and clients are patched with the latest CU.<o:p></o:p>
I noticed that
when you call dial-in number’s SIP address, user will get transferred to a
conference (works ok). When you dial just a number users is never transferred
and RT Audio traffic still goes directly to a server which is hosting dial-in
number.<o:p></o:p>
After
checking Lync traces it looks like Lync client ignores the REFER message from
the FE server hosting Dial-in number and it never send an INVITE to the server
whit active conference.<o:p></o:p>
The only difference
between INVITES for working calls and calls that failed to connect to the
conference is the presence of the user=phone in TO header:<o:p></o:p>
Working
invite:<o:p></o:p>
TO:
<sip:[email protected]><o:p></o:p>
Failed invite:

Please try to disable refer support for all pools.
The problem seems occur when Attendant transfer the call to another pool.
Please provide more trace file information.

are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this
interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time.

Call servlet via dialed connection

Hi, I want to access a servlet on an corporate (ISDN) intranet from home using a dialed (modem) connection. Is this doable? If possible, how do I point out the server in the browser? The server has no static IP-adress unfortunately.
Thanks!

Hi, I want to access a servlet on an corporate (ISDN)
intranet from home using a dialed (modem) connection.
Is this doable? If possible, how do I point out the
server in the browser? The server has no static
IP-adress unfortunately. uhh. It's rather uncommon for a server to have a dynamic ip. in this case, you could use dynamic host registration, so the server registers itself with the actual ip on a intrabet based dns server.
other posibility would be the server places it's current ip address on a webserver that has a static ip.
Or, you could use a broadcasting mechanism (protcol) to get the ip. This would require an additional server component.
But, we not just give the server a static ip?!?
