Dial in/Dial Out modem bank [7:17929]
To all you cisco wizards, What Cisco product would you recommend for dial in/dial out capability on a LAN. We have many users who dial into our network and do work from home. We also have users that would like to dial out from their desktop without using stand alone modems. Something that would handle at least 16 simultaneous users. We currently use a product that is slow and sometimes it locks up. Any advice/input would be appreciated.

Re: Dial in/Dial Out modem bank [7:17929]
I would look at VPN solutions such as the VPN3000 and skip the dial in altogether... Let em dial to their isp and then VPN...

Re: Dial in/Dial Out modem bank [7:17929]
a 2610 with a NM-16A would do the trick. A cheaper alternative would be a 2511 but you would have to connect 16 external modems to the async ports.

RE: Dial in/Dial Out modem bank [7:17929]
Mike, I'm sure you could use a 26xx to do what you want. Just yesterday I put this system into place: Cisco 3640 (you could easily use 3620 as well) 1 - Dual-Channelized T1 with CSU module 2 - Digital Modem module with 24 modems each We run two ISDN-PRI connections to the T1 controllers, and can handle any combination of calls up to 46 single channel ISDN-BRI, 23 dual channel ISDN-BRI or 46 analog modem calls. (i.e. we have 46 lines coming in on the two PRIs) We also use DialOutIP software to allow people to place modem calls from their desktop PCs over the IP LAN. Works like a charm! For your setup you could use either a 2 module 2600 or 3600. Get a single T1 controller (with built-in CSU is nice) module and get a single ISDN-PRI line to connect to it. As your second module, get the digital modem module, and outfit it with 24 modems (can have from 6 to 30 in increments of 6). At that point you can handle up to 23 incoming/outgoing calls at once, either analog or ISDN (for flexibility). That coupled with DialOutIP sounds like the perfect solution to your situation. =) We're running Radius for authentication, as some people call in to get IP/IPX services and some people call in simply to redirected to a telnet session with a specific box on the network (and we network admins dial in to gain access to the router itself). So don't forget you need a AAA component as well. Here are the parts you could use: (careful of wrap in the following URLs) Cisco 3620 router with: Digital Modem Module http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/dimdnep1.htm and Channelized T1 PRI module (NM-1CT1-CSU) http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/cht1isp1.htm OR you could use: Cisco 26xx router (choose which you want) with: Serial WAN interface WIC (WIC-1T) with external CSU http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/sewn__y2.htm and Digital Modem Module http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/dimdnep1.htm Now don't quote me on the 2600 setup, as I'm speculating this is what you would need.. You can check out the following page for more options for the WIC slots on the 2600: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/index.htm#CFHJDBFH HTH, Mike W.

Re: Dial in/Dial Out modem bank [7:17929]
no no no, Bri - that's a GOOD thing. 1. you can authenticate them for access to dial-out 2. you consolidate (pool) the resource, so that fewer dedicated outbound lines are required 3. it's more secure (no one can set their desktop up to answer a modem call thereby remvoing that security threat) 4. people tend to abuse it less because they feel they're being monitored (the centralized paranoia syndrome) 5. easier to maintain than individual dial modems scattered all over the office/building/campus It works GREAT when implemented properly.

RE: Dial in/Dial Out modem bank [7:17929]
I have had to support this type of activity in the past as well and I agree that an AS5300 (or newer) will do the job well. However, that's a fairly expensive box. Cheaper alternatives would include a 2511/2513 router with octal cable(s) and external modems or maybe a 3600 series router. These both can provide this type of access. In my office, for engineers providing remote dialup support, we use a 2509 with an octal cable and external modems. Works well and is a fraction of the cost of an AS box.

Re: Dial in/Dial Out modem bank [7:17929]
You'd be better off with a PRI and a channalized T1 card digital modem card. You could then use a 3600. If you go with the async ports and modems you won't be able to get the 56K(53K) compression. The PRI should be cheaper than all those analog lines anyhow. Hunt around on ebay. There are lots of companies dumping this sort of stuff - going to VPNs. Look for a Lucent Max, Cisco Universal Gateway or something similar.

Re: Subject: Re: Dial in/Dial Out modem bank [7:17929]
Well, I don't know if it is trippy or not, but take it out for a test drive and see if it does what you need. AFAIK, it is no longer supported by Cisco (watch wrap): http://www.west- point.org/users/usma1983/40768/chesinc/Dout354.exe You will obviously need a properly configured access server with the ability to dial outbound. My guess is you could test it with a 25xx router and a modem connected to the AUX port or one of the serial interfaces. I would take a peek at some of the help screens and installation instructions. HTH, Paul Werner Mike, I have never heard of this dialoutIP software. Are you saying this software will let a host control a cisco access server and direct it to call whatever number the host whats? That is really trippy!! That has a lot strange permutations and capabilities. Or am I just completly misunderstanding your post ? Is this a Cisco product? Could you provide a link please ?

You could then use a 3600. If you go with the async ports and modems you won't be able to get the 56K(53K) compression. The PRI should be cheaper than all those analog lines anyhow. Hunt around on ebay. There are lots of companies dumping this sort of stuff - going to VPNs. Look for a Lucent Max, Cisco Universal Gateway or something similar.
