The server
•
When the operating system this is being used allows it (Windows 2000 or better), ensure that any eventual
Windows FTP services are disabled or that the port they use is different from that used by RICS (EDCS Port
and FTP Port). If you are not sure how to change the ports used by Windows services, you are advised to shut
them down. To shut down the Windows services go to Control panel>Administration tools>Computer
management and then choose Services and applications>Services. At this point shut down the FTP
publication services.
•
RICS server must be running with the default settings, which are:
-
EDCS Port = 2345
-
FTP Port = 2121.
These settings can be checked on Settings>System.
•
Ensure that a user profile has been created within RICS where Enable Remote access has been selected. In
this example we assume the creation of a user with user name remoteuser003 and password ricscs.
The client
Once RICS (client) has started we create a new connection with the following settings:
•
Logical name: Example station
•
Connection type: LAN
•
Address: specify the server IP address which in the example is 130.164.0.88
•
Select Automatic log-in, specifying the username remoteuser003 and password ricscs
•
Select Browse Remote system in the Options page and choose the files to be downloaded in the Download
section. The setting must be one of these; you are advised not to download the History if the aim of the
connection is only to control the remote system and the analysis of data is unnecessary).
•
Finally ensure that the EDCS and FTP ports defined in the Advanced page coincide with those set on the
server, or, as in the example, EDCS Port=2345 and FTP Port=2121
•
Once the new server has been created, select it from the Remote stations (Server) list and begin the
connection.
14.5.3 Modem to modem connection: an example
This section gives an example of how to obtain a client/server RICS connection with a point-point modem connection.
In the example the following assumptions have been made:
•
Server telephone number: 0258479458
•
Client telephone number: 0689455517.
This type of connection can be shown in the following Screenshot (Screenshot 14.4):
Screenshot 14.4: Modem to modem connection diagram.
Note: the server cannot have more than one client connected at the same time with a direct modem connection.
The server
Minimum requirements to obtain this type of connection is that the PC operating system where RICS server is installed
is at least Windows XP Professional or better.
In our example we used Windows XP Professional (Italian version).
The PC has a suitably configured modem.
Necessary operations:
•
Ensure that any eventual FTP Windows services are disabled or that the port they use is different to that used by
RICS (EDCS and FTP ports). If you are not sure how to change the ports used by Windows services, you are advised
to shut them down; to do this go to Control panel>Administration tools>Computer management
then Services and applications>Services and then shut down the FTP publication services.
