All the dial-in security parameters are user-configured. However, it is suggested that they
remain at the default settings until the installation is complete and the dial-in connection is
fully operational.
Follow the directions below to change the dial-in security settings.
15.4 Controller Setup
Dial-in networking allows you to remotely connect to the AEC2.1 through a phone line. Follow
the steps below to configure dial-in networking.
1. Log into AEC2.1 and from the main page select System > Network Settings.
2. Select Dial-In tab and the screen below appears:
3. The default Dial-in user name is 'PPP' and the default password is '8088'. For security
purposes, change the default User Name and Password.
4. Adjust the Dial-in setting as necessary. Click the save button to save the settings.
15.5 Handling of IP Addresses by Access Easy Controller 2.1
When dial-in networking is used to connect to the AEC2.1, the connection is made using a
communication point-to-point protocol (PPP). The PPP is used whenever a computer
establishes a dial-in connection to any server. In the case of AEC2.1, the controller acts as the
server and establishes the PPP connection to the customer's computer.
When a dial-in session is started, the server assigns an IP address to the computer that has
dialed-in and requested the session. In this case, the server is the AEC2.1. The IP address that
is assigned to the computer making the dial-in request is obtained from a database parameter
in AEC2.1, which can be managed as necessary from the System section of the database.
Normally, the dial-in IP address is managed automatically by AEC2.1 based on the network
address that is assigned to the controller during the installation and setup process. If the
controller is assigned a Class A network address, then the controller will automatically
configure the dial-in IP address to a Class C address. If the controller is assigned a Class B or
Class C network address, then dial-in networking will automatically be configured to a Class A
address. In most cases, the different class of the dial-in IP address will prevent any conflict or
duplication of IP addresses within the customer's network.
