Connecting Using Windows XP Direct Serial Connection

.
To enforce security, Windows XP does not permit a Direct Serial Connec-
tion and a LAN connection to coexist. If you wish to have access to your
LAN connection at the same time as you are connected to your 8600 by a
direct serial cable, you must connect to your 8600 via the RAS null mo-
dem, not Windows Direct Connect. We do not support or provide instal-
lation instructions for the RAS null modem with Windows 2000 and XP,
but it can be installed just like any other modem in these operating sys-
tems. However, for security reasons, we do not recommend doing this
(see page 2- 76).
1. Add and configure a Direct Connection for Windows XP:
A) Create a New Windows XP Direct Connec-
tion:

b) Choose “Connect / New 8600”
c) Give your 8600 a name (e.g., “KABC”)
by entering this name in the “8600 Ali-
as” field.
d) If you wish to have 8600 PC Remote re-
member the password for this Optimod,
enter the password in the “Password“
field.
e) Select “Serial Connection.”
