Remote Access Via Dial/PSTN - Options Now PVDM's are EOSale'd

I have a number of very remote sites that cost-effectively only PSTN can be provisioned to for land-line comms,
these dial land lines providing back-up to low-bandwidth satellite comms services.
With the end-of-sale of the PVDM modules for routers, i see dial/PSTN remote access functionality
that Cisco offered with the these as now completely unavailable in the whole Cisco product set. Is there any
dial/PSTN Remote Access concentrator functionality hidden away in any of the Cisco products, or is it truly
Cisco cannot supply a device to service my dial requirements ?? Alternatives ??
thnks
Martyn

I've no definitive replacement solution as yet.
Most promising kit so far to replace cisco PVDM functions is remanufactured Portmaster PM3.
All the major vendors seem to have pulled out of dial.
Other than than we may have to run point to point radio to these locations
Sat comms also maybe an option open to u

  • How does one set up remote access via the internet to access files stored on the Time Capsule using airport utility 6.1

    I was just wondering if anyone can provide me with instructions please on how to set up remote access via the internet to the time capsule when away from home?
    I am running OS X Mountain Lion operating system and have Airport Utility 6.1.
    Many thanks to you all for your help.

    I think the instructions should be all in BTMM with iCloud.
    Instructions are all there.

  • Help For Remote Access Via VPN

    Need Help
    what cisco product or router specification or model  can we use for VPN connection in our remote site via Internet Connection
    thanks Godbless

    There are several options here, but more information is probably needed to give a good recommendation.
    1.  What type of VPN?  A site to site VPN that stays up, or remote VPN that is more on demand?
    2.  What type of Internet access to have at your remote site?
    3.  Are you going to also use this as a gateway to the Internet or will this device sit to the side or behind your gateway?
    My first inclination is that if you just need occasional remote access to your remote site for support issues check out the ASA 5505.  Depending on where you will place it and what amount of user traffic will flow through it, you may be able to get by with just a base license and use IPSec remote VPN.

  • Remote access via ftp

    Hi.
    I am trying to set up remote access to my mac so I can upload files to it remotely from a PC. I want the simplest free solution as I simply want occasional access to back up files from my work PC to my home mac. I have got 90% of the way, but fallen at the final hurdle.
    I am using OSX Leopard 10.5.8 and a Linksys WRT54G wireless router
    I am trying to access my imac via ftp as this appears to be the simplest route. So far I have done the following:
    (a) Followed the advice in "Mac OSX Missing Manual" and portforwarding.com: i.e. ...
    (b) Set up a static IP address on my mac through system preferences. This is working as I can access the internet fine.
    (c) Turned off "Block anonymous internet requests" in the router settings
    (d) Set up port forwarding of port 21 using the static IP address I have set up
    (e) In system preferences, turned on file sharing using ftp
    (f) Tested access using Safari - typed in my local static IP address as specified in the file sharing ftp box in the sharing section of system preferences. I logged in with my main account log in info. This worked - I immediately got a finder window pop up with my folders visible. The ftp server was also mounted on my desktop.
    (g) Tested access using Safari via my public IP address. This was much slower. I eventually got the login box, but when I entered the same main account login info I eventually got an error message saying password / username were incorrect. They weren't, as I have tried this several times. (I don't have access to a PC on another network to test that way.)
    Very grateful for any help.
    Thanks

    I am not sure which type of FTP Apple uses but this will give you the differences the in firewall policy for active and passive. http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html you will need to set the firewall accordingly.
    You may also have problems with the firewall in use at work, it depends on how its been locked down.
    It depends on how much time you have to spend on the problem. There are free remote control applications that include file transfer, have a look at this site http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx , there is a free version available but I have not used this software. There are other similar products some free, some cost.
    If you cannot get any answers to your question at least there are other esiaer options open to you.
    regards

  • Remote access via base station

    I am thinking of buying a new base station, but for one purpose only if anyone can help me. I would like to access media files on an attached hard drive to the base station remotely over the internet. I have a router/ modem, which can do this if I open a port but I would rather have a ringfenced base station attached to it that I could access from abroad etc.
    Is it possible to open a port on the base station to allow password protected internet traffic to access files like .m4v on an attached hard drive ? If so how can this be set up without allowing access to my home computers as well?
    I would be grateful for any assistance.
    thanks
    thank you

    There are three available methods to access a connected disk. LAN acces (internal) is the default and what you'd use for TC as well as just a remote fileshare/NAS. You can choose password level access for the disk or setup individual accounts which is neat as it creates "home" folders for each user if you chose that option.
    WAN (Internet/outside your LAN or home private network) is another and you would setup password access to the disk. Not sure if you would need a static ip or setup a dyndns type service so you'd knowyou homerouter's address.
    The most secure and easily accessed from over Internet (and third available option) is to setup your MobileMe account in the AirPort Extreme's profile and MM will manage "finding" your home network and it's connection uses IPv6 which has built in encryption layer/tunnel.
    Since I've not tried the WAN option I'm looking to see how to remotely access from a PC as well. I think WAN will natively support just the same way the LAN does.

  • Remote access via pppoe - mac add limitation

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to provide remote access for a number of individual customers.  I plan on using pppoe for each of these customers as it will give us the ability to control each session individually and apply shaping etc if required.
    There will be about 250 customers at the one location and we are using a thrid party supplier to run the connectivity into the site.  I plan on dragging the pppoe sessions back to our network rather than terminating them onsite.
    The main issue I have is that the supplier who is running the connectivity into the site for us has a mac address limit of 50.
    My question is  - is there any way in which I can still bring the pppoe session back to our network while still remaining under the 50 mac address limit?
    I thought perhaps mpls might be the way to go here, but, I'm not too sure.  We're running mosly Cisco 7200's so we might be limited in the options available...
    Can any please advise on what might be a suitable option?
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    I don't think PPPoE is a good idea. It introduces a lot of additional requirements, devices, additional client configuration, all complications that are easily avoided with a normal technology, eg. IP routing, GRE (only if necessary), etc.

  • Remote access via internet

    Have an Vitek DVR with several cameras and after correctly configuring port forwarding on the router and input the IP to the DVR, I am able to view the camera pictures without any problems on the MacBook Pro. However, being able to view the camera results from the IPHONE via remote access, through Safari, requires an APP. Having tried the VITEK DVRViewer app, and half a dozen other apps, I am unable to connect via the iphone. I contacted VITEK and was informed that they are aware of the problem, which they say is due from the IOS6 update, an updated app was submitted to Apple for approval, which would solve the issue.
    I have found many hits on the YouTube with the same issues. Does anyone know of a solution, or if they were told by VITEK of the same solution?
    Thank you

    This would not seem to be an issue with Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs and the topic of this forum. I'd suggest you take this up in the iPhone forum, where you'll be more likely to encounter someone attempting to run the same app and hence provide suggestions.
    Regards.

  • Time Capsule remote access via mobile me

    Hi there,
    i heard it would be possible to connect to my time capsule even if i am not in my network (at home, in other cities etc) via mobile me service, has anybody experience with this?
    I am using mobile me in the trial/test version. Are there more options in the full version?
    I need to share data with colleagues in other cities but couldn't find a way to do this so far.
    First I tried out a ready nas duo from netgear, a terrible desaster i would not consider to anybody.
    Does apple offer any solution without spending more than 500 euro?

    This is what I know(and it works) so far.
    Using Mobile Me, you must have a Mac to access your TC remotely.
    Also, I had to get static IP address(on TC side) to get this to work. I was having trouble using the dynamic address assigned by my ISP. If you get an error message regarding double NAT, chances are you'll need to get a static IP address like I did.
    If you get an error message regarding NAT Port Mapping Protocol or UPnP, see 1a. below.
    1. On TC, in manual setup, enter your MM username and password in Back to my Mac.
    1a. Make sure that you enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol.
    2. On your mac, enter your MM username and passeord.
    2a. Also, enable Back to my Mac.
    2b. Keep an eye out for any error messages.
    I hope it helps.

  • Remote access via internet to another macbook

    I would like to access my moms computer when she needs help sometimes via the internet. We both have Macbooks and high speed internet. Before I move away I can install whatever is necessary on her computer. Then if she has computer problems (as she often does) I can go onto her computer to sort it out. (Obviously, I will have to phone her to tell her to open up the computer). Is this a really involved thing that I am asking? I don't really know where to start. I have heard of remote desktop but after reviewing it, it sounds like it is much more than what I am looking for. Any info to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    So why is system prefs saying, "To log in to this computer remotely, type "ssh [email protected]" at a shell command prompt."
    Is it just because it doesn't know its behind the router?
    I have tried telling finder to connect to server; vnc://65.95.40.34 and it just times out.
    I have also tried setting Chicken of the VNC to;
    HOST: 65.95.40.34
    Display: 0
    Password: (password that I set for login on her computer)
    This just times out eventually.
    I have also tried terminal both ways:
    "ssh [email protected]" and
    "ssh [email protected]"
    and it tells me "ssh: connect to host 65.95.40.34 port 22: Operation timed out"
    It take a minute or two using any of these methods before it tells me that its timed out.
    I have made sure that she has her computer opened up and turned on of course and the settings so it will wake if admin accesses remotely.
    Any ideas as to why this wouldn't work?
    Thanks for all the info.

  • What x86 options, now that sparcstations are discontinued?

    Are there any x86/x64 workstations out there that work well with Solaris 10 and have hardware RAID? I built a x64 AMD based workstation a few months ago, but Solaris 10 will not recognize the HW RAID built into the motherboard. Are there any workstations made by Dell or other companies that are more compatible with Solaris 10? The hardware compat list doesn't go into specific components like motherboards, and if it does, they are so outdated they're worthless.
    Any suggestions? I need something that can use hardware RAID, and can handle at least 32GB of memory.
    Thanks

    Hmm, i've installed Solaris 10 and 11 on quite a few different HP/Fujitsu PC's and it seems to work out of the box. The only issue have been some wireless adapters, which i don't use anyway.
    I think the most critical point is drivers for the graphic cards if you need X, but the standard graphiccards seems to work quite well, and Nvidia have drivers for Solaris..

  • Cannot login to Cisco Jabber 10.5.1 over Mobile and Remote Access

    Hi,
    We have deployed sucessfully VCS Expressway-C and VCS Expressway-E with only 1 zone which is "Unified Communication Traversal" and is for Mobile and Remote Access only. VCS-C and VCS-E are communicating and in statuses everything is active and working. Also VCS-C can communicate with CUCM and CUP (both version 10.5).
    Problem is when I deploy Cisco Jabber 10.5.1 on computer outside of LAN and without VPN it start communicating with VCS-E, ask me for accepting certificate (we have certificate only intenally generated on Windows CA) and after that it is trying to connect and after few seconds it will tell me that it can't communicate with server.
    Did any of you had same problem or can you advice how to troubleshoot? In Jabber logs there is only something like "Cannot authenticate" error message, but when I startup VPN I can authenticate without any problems.
    Thanks

    On Expressway-C are your HTTP Allow Lists setup properly?  By default, and auto discovered CUCM and IMP should be listed via IP and Hostname, but if not, you'll need to insert manually.
    Also, you can look at the config file your Expressway-E would be handing out to Jabber via this method.
    From the internet, browse to:
    https://vcse.yourdomain.com:8443/Y29sbGFiLmNvbQ/get_edge_config?service_name=_cisco-uds&service_name=_cuplogin
    Where:
    vcse is your Expressway-E hostname (or CNAME/A record)
    yourdomain.com is your own domain
    The first directory is your Base64 encoded domain name, remove and trailing equal signs (=)
    The XML returned is basically the DNS SRV record information available as if internal for _cisco-uds and _cuplogin
    TFTP DNS SRV is optional if you configured TFTP in IMP for your Legacy Clients.

    Hi Marcelo,
       Yes, there are some requirements for certificates in Expressway.
    Expressway Core (Exp-C)
    - Can be signed by either External or Internal CA
    - Better to use a cluster name even if you start with 1 peer in Exp-C cluster. In the future, if more peers are added, changes would be minimal.
    - Better to use FQDN of cluster as CN of certificate, this way the traversal zone configuration on Expressway-E won't require any change even if new peers are added to Exp-C cluster.
    - If CUCM is mixed mode, include security profile names (in FQDN format) as Subject Alternate Names
    - The Chat Node Aliases that are configured on the IM and Presence servers. They will be required only for Unified Communications XMPP federation deployments that intend to use both TLS and group chat. (Note that Unified Communications XMPP federation will be supported in a future Expressway release). The Expressway-C automatically includes the chat node aliases in the CSR, providing it has discovered a set of IM&P servers.
    - For TLS b/w CUCM, IM-P & Exp-C
      + If using self-signed certificates on CUCM, IM/P. Load Cisco Tomcat, cup, cup-xmpp certificates from IM-P on Exp-C. Load callmanager, Cisco Tomcat certificates from CUCM on Exp-C.
      + If using Internal CA signed certificates on CUCM, IM/P. Load Root CA certificates on Exp-C.
      + Load CA certificate under tomcat-trust, cup-trust, cup-xmpp-trust on IM-P.
      + Load CA certificate under tomcat-trust, callmanager-trust on CUCM.
    Expressway Edge (Exp-E)
    - Signed by External CA
    - Configured Unified Communications domain as Subject Alternate Name
    - If using a cluster, select FQDN of this peer as CN and FQDN of Cluster + this peer as Subject Alternate Name.
    - If XMPP federation is being deployed, enter the same Chat Node Aliases as entered in Exp-C.
    For more details, please refer to the Certificate Creation Guide for Cisco Expressway x8.1.1

  • TC access via .mac?

    I have read in several places that the Time capsule can be accessed remotely thru a .mac account, but nowhere have I read how to do it. Can anyone tell me how?

    I read somewhere myself, that TC can be accessed via .Mac because it does support Wide Area Bonjour, (the basis of Back to My Mac). However, Apple hasn't made it obvious how to connect the device to its .Mac servers in order to do this. But some Savvy users with access to their own DNS-SD server will be able to set this up themselves, but the rest of us who have .Mac accounts will need to wait for Apple to deliver the goods to us by providing us this information, hopefully

  • Need advice on remote access

    Hi guys, need some advice.
    I have a home network of four wired PC's, two laptops and a small home server, running windows home server 2011. All machines can access the shared files etc via the launch pad, and we have tried remote access via the xxxxxxx.homeserver.com address that
    microsoft provided, which works fine.
    I've spent the weekend installing sharepoint services 3.0 and set up family members as user etc and we can all access the shared calendar etc. internally, however I would like to be able to access the calendar remotely, either via mobile phone or browser
    on a PC.
    I've been searching the web for answers, but so far can't seem to find an idiot proof way of doing this, and would welcome advise on the best way to achieve my goal
    Cheers
