INSTALLATION ORBAN MODEL 8600
To enforce security, Windows 2000 does not permit a Direct Serial Con-
nection 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 Serial
Cable modem, not Windows Direct Connect. After you have installed the
RAS Serial Cable modem, you can use the instructions below for adding a
“Modem Connection.”
The RAS Serial Cable modem appears in the list of modems available to
Windows in the “Null modem types” category. (It is a piece of software
included with Windows, not a piece of hardware.) While we do not sup-
port or provide detailed installation instructions for the RAS null modem
supplied with Windows 2000 and XP, it can be Added just like any other
modem in these operating systems (see your Windows documentation).
However, for security reasons, we do not recommend doing this.
Note that when the RAS modem is installed, it may cause Windows Direct
Connect to stop working . You may have to completely disable the RAS
modem (by uninstalling it) and then reboot to recover Direct Connect
functionality.
