Chapter 10: Accessing Amanda Remotely 75
Connecting by Cable
To connect over a null modem cable:
1. Attach one end of the null modem cable to the correct serial port (for example,
COM2) on Amanda’s computer and to a serial port on the remote computer.
2. Turn on both computers.
3. From the remote computer, use the following command to start the Remote program.
remote /x /n /f
where
x
is 1 or 2, depending on what COM port the cable is connected to on the
remote computer. For COM1, you can use /1 or nothing at all because COM1 is the
default.
You execute the command from the directory in which the Remote program is stored
or you add the path name to the command. For example, if the program is stored in
the UTIL directory on your C: drive, C:\UTIL\REMOTE would replace REMOTE in
the command. If the computer runs a version of Windows, run the command from a
DOS box.
4. Press Enter.
The following appears on the screen:
Remote Version 2.0
You can run Setup and other programs on Amanda’s computer while sitting at the
remote computer. (If the screen is blank because of Amanda’s screen saver, press the
spacebar to exit the screen saver.)
5. To end the Remote session, press Alt+X.
The program asks you to confirm your decision to exit by typing Y.
The remote computer disconnects from Amanda.
Connecting by Modem
To connect via data modem, both Amanda’s computer and the computer that will be
accessing Amanda remotely must be running and have a modem that is connected to both
a serial port and a telephone line. The data modem must be connected to either a dedicated
telephone number (this works best) or station separate from the telephone system.
The Host program can use COM1 through COM4. The Amanda Company recommends
that Amanda’s computer use one of the following for the data modem:
COM1 with IRQ4 and not other devices on COM1 or using IRQ4
COM2 with IRQ3 and not other devices on COM2 or using IRQ3
COM3 with IRQ11 and not other devices on COM3 or using IRQ11
COM4 with IRQ5 and not other devices on COM4 or using IRQ5
