which is used for your External Modem application.
Setting Up RAS for a Modem Connection
Default RAS General Options
The General factory-default options for RAS are as follows:
•
Enable:
checked
(RAS in Lynx is enabled by default)
•
Media:
Serial Line
•
Modem Delay:
200ms
•
Baud Rate:
57600
Media setting (
Serial Line
or

in which Windows will interact with Lynx for its setup. If you change this setting,
your Windows steps may differ somewhat from the examples given.
Even though RAS defaults to

establish an initial connection; RAS must be configured before this service will be
functional.
