Setting Up a Remote Access Server on the PC (Windows NT)
Use the following steps to set up a RAS on the PC so that the controller can dial in to the PC. Be sure
to work closely with your System Administrator.

Click the Services Tab, then click Add. Scroll down and highlight Remote Access Server. Click OK.
Click Continue to copy necessary files.

In the Add RAS Device dialog box, choose your modem from the drop-down list or install it if it
is not there. Click OK.

In the Remote Access Setup dialog box, click Configure. In the Configure Port Usage dialog box,
choose either Receive calls only or Dial out and Receive calls. Click OK.

Back in the Remote Access Setup dialog box, click Network. Under Dial out and Server Settings,
leave only TCP/IP selected. Click Accept any configuration including clear text. Click Configure.
6.
In the RAS Server TCP/IP Configuration dialog box, do the following:
– Check This computer only.
– If you are using a DHCP server on your network, talk to your System Administrator about
what addresses to assign. Otherwise, enter a Static PPP IP address pool for the controller (or
other incoming devices) to use.
– If you have configured the controller to Specify the local IP address when calling out, you
must also check the box to allow remote clients to request a predetermined IP address.
– Click OK and then click Continue.

leave No call back checked. Click OK.

When the new user and password are set, restart the PC.
The RAS must be started so that the PC will listen for the controller’s phone call. You can start it
manually or set it to start automatically.
