Remote Access
• Remote access technologies allow users to access a network
and its services from a computer outside the network
• Dial-up access requires:
– Network computer (server) running RAS or NAS with a modem
and a dial-up phone line
• Remote Access Server – Microsoft
• Network Access Server – Novell
– Remote computer (laptop) with modem and a dial-up phone line
– An ISP is not required – This will be a direct “call” from one
computer to another computer.

Types of Modulation
• AM – Amplitude Modulation
• FM – Frequency Modulation
• PM – Phase Modulation
– PSK – Phase Shift Keying – Shifts with bit change
– DPSK – Differential Phase Shift Keying – Shifts when
a “1” bit is to be transmitted.
• PCM – Pulse Code Modulation
– Method used by CODEC – Digital “1” is twice the
voltage of a digital “0”.

Types of Multiplexing
• FDM – Frequency Division Multiplexing
• WDM – Wave Division Multiplexing
• TDM – Time Division Multiplexing
• STDM – Statistical Time Division Multiplexing

Modems
• Modulator-demodulator
• Converts digital to analog for transmission over POTS (Plain old
Telephone Service)
• Configure:
– COM 1 or 3 – IRQ 4 – I/O 3F8 or 3E8
– COM 2 or 4 – IRQ 3 – I/O 2F8 or 2E8
• Internal Modems
– Have built in UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) – Usually
new (16550 or newer)
– Cheaper
•
External Modems
–
–
–
–
Uses computer's internal UART – may be old (8250 - 9600bps max) and slow
May be easier to configure
Stats lights
More expensive (case, power supply, cables, etc.)

ISDN – Integrated Services Digital Network
•
•
•
•
•
Can carry voice and data simultaneously
Uses a standard PSTN voice line
Standard established by the ITU
ISDN service began in mid 1980’s
Requires a Network Termination device(s) to
process the data from the telephone company
• Requires a Terminal Adapter (router) to convert
the digital data to voice and distribute the
communication.
• Must be within 3.4 miles (18,000 feet or 5.5Km)
of the telephone company.

BRI (Basic Rate ISDN)
• Basic Rate (2B+D) ISND lines uses two B channels
and one D channel multiplexed over 1 copper pair
• Each B (Bearer) channels can transmit up to 64Kbps
of data or it can be used to transmit voice.
• The D (Data) channel can transmit up 16Kbps and is
used for call setup & management
• Two B channels can be bonded to produce 128Kbps
throughput.

PRI (Primary Rate ISDN)
• Primary Rate (23B+D) ISND lines uses 23 B
channels and one D channel multiplexed over 1
copper pair
• Each B (Bearer) channels can transmit up to
64Kbps of data or it can be used to transmit voice.
• The D (Data) channel can transmit up 16Kbps and is
used for call setup & management
• The B channels can be bonded to produce
1.544Mbps throughput.

DSL – Digital Subscriber Line
• Uses regular POTS “phone” lines to transmit digital
signals
• Allows voice and digital over single pair
– Uses 0-4KHz for voice
– Uses 4KHz-2.2MHz for data
• ADSL – Asymmetric DSL
– 640Kbps Uplink speed
– 1.544Mbps Downlink speed (9Mbps Max.)
• HDSL – High Data-Rate DSL
• VDSL – Very High Data-Rate DSL
• SDSL – Single Line Digital Subscriber Line

Remote Access Protocols
• SLIP – Serial Line Internet Protocol
–
–
–
–
Used to transmit TCP/IP over serial connections
Low overhead – No error checking – No packet addressing
Being replaced with more feature rich protocols
Does not support encrypted passwords
• PPP – Point-to-Point Protocol
– Used to implement TCP/IP over point-to-point connections
– uses the Link Control Protocol (LCP) to communicate
between PPP client and host
– high overhead
– automatically configures TCP/IP
• PPTP – Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
– PPTP is setup through a PPP connection forming a VPN

X.25 Protocol
• Analog WAN technology employing packet
switching
• Sending router breaks messages into smaller packets
• Packets may travel different routes
• Developed CCIT (now ITU)
• Handles bottom 3 layers only

Frame Relay
• Digital WAN technology employing packet
switching
• Sending router breaks messages into smaller packets
• Packets may travel different routes
• Receiving router reassembles packets
• By sharing the network you get the minimum that
you contract for (Committed Information Rate CIR) but may receive speeds up to T1 speed

T-Series Connections
• T-1 - 1.544Mbps – 2 pair STP(or UTP) – 24 DSO channels
- (64Kbps each)
• T-1C - 3.152Mbps
• T-2 - 6.312Mbps
• T-3 - 44.736Mbps - Fiber or Microwave – 672 DSO
channels
• T-4 - 274.176Mbps
