Multi-Media Site: Connection Configuration

Offering Many Dial-Up Connections to the Same Unit
More than one dial-up connection to the same Multi-Media unit may be needed. Table 3–2 lists
configurations, and the number of connections for best results. For example, Windows Dial-Up
Networking can give unwanted results when some View operators are inside the Multi-Media unit’s
local calling area and others are outside. Telephone companies can also force a Multi SA to setup
an irregular local call—a local call across area codes.
