Modem Pools 10
If your site has many users that need to dial out to many different sites, you
can configure the NetBlazer to allow IP users to telnet from a host on the
network to a pool of modems and then use the modem’s dial command to
call a remote system. Assigning an IP address to a pool of modems allows
IP users on the network to talk to the first available modem that meets their
requirements.

Configuring a Modem Pool
You can use Worksheet 20, the “IP Modem Pool” worksheet on page B-23
to record and organize the information necessary to complete the tasks in
this section.
To set up a modem pool:
1. Establish a connection to your NetBlazer as described on page 3-3.
2. On the Main Menu screen, select Dial-out Modem Pool.
Note:
The dialout modem pool is only available if you have set up your NetBlazer
to route IP on the LAN; if you don’t have IP protocol set up for the LAN, you
cannot access the modem pool.
