Remote supervision
The client
The Client PC has a suitably configured modem.
Once RICS (client) has started, you create a new connection with the following settings:
• Logical name: Example station
• Type of connection: Telephone call (RAS)
• In the Settings box click on the New RAS button. This opens the classic windows wizard that allows the
creation of a remote access; during creation it will ask for the telephone number of the connection, which
must be set as the server’s number (in the example it is 0258479458) and the name for the connection (in the
example it is “Remote RICS Example”)
• In the Connection name box (in the Settings box), select the newly created remote connection or in this
case “Remote RICS Example”
• Select the Ask the server to call back checkbox if you want the server to bear the cost of the call (only
possible if the server allows call-back). If this checkbox is selected you should insert the client telephone
number (that in the example is 0689455517) in the Call-back number field, in the above mentioned
Advanced page. If the number is always the same then the Call-back number field can be omitted, while
you are invited to specify it in the General settings section, (in Main menu>Connection>Settings) in
the Default call-back number field.
• Select the Automatic log-in checkbox using the username remoteuser003 and typing ricscs for the
password.
• In the Options page choose Browse remote system and in the Download section choose the files that you
want to download (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).
• Lastly, ensure that the EDCS and FTP ports in the Advanced page match those set on the server.
• Once the new server has been created, select it from the Remote stations (Server) list and begin the
connection.
14.5.4 Connection with Internet: an example
This section contains an example of how to obtain a client/server RICS connection using Internet as the communications
channel.
In the example the following assumptions are made:
• SERVER:
- is a PC on a company network
- The LAN IP address is: 130.164.0.88
- The company network has a firewall
- The company network IP address to Internet (external): 157.87.98.12.
• CLIENT:
- Is a PC on the company network (but not the same one!) the LAN IP address is: 165.64.17.24
- The company network is protected by a firewall
- The company network IP address to Internet (external): 182.114.55.78.
We suppose that the company network on which the RICS server is located has a structure like this one (see Screenshot
14.7):
