14 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Applications The primary applications for the Dual 56K LAN Modem are:
■ Local networking with shared, dial-out access to the Internet
■ Local networking with shared, dial-out access to a private network, such as a
remote corporate office LAN (this can include indirect Internet access through
the private network’s Internet connection)
■ Local networking with shared, simultaneous dial-out access to the Internet and
a private network
■ Combined dial-in and dial-out access for several possible networking scenarios
(refer to Chapter 8 for specific dial-in applications).
The following diagrams illustrate the primary Dual 56K LAN Modem applications:
Local Networking with
Shared Internet Access
Users can share access to the Internet while they continue to network locally, as
shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Local Networking with Shared Internet Access
Local Networking with
Shared Private Network
Access
Users can share access to a remote private network, such as a corporate office
