This section describes configuring the remote device (a PC, in this case) for the example Windows Dial-up
application shown earlier in
Section 6.1
. This would include:
• Identifying the new connection;
• Defining the server type; and then
• Attempting to dial out.
These directions apply to Windows 95; we’d set the same values in Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows
NT, but the menus and their options would be different.
Here’s what the procedure would be for our hypothetical network, on the remote PC running Windows 95
software:
1. Click Start, select Programs, select Accessories, and then Dial-Up Networking. (You can get to the same
location by clicking My Computer, then double clicking on Dial-Up Networking.)
2. Double-click Make New Connection: Provide the name of the Concentrator (“Conc_LRA3”), then select
the modem type.
3. Click Configure. The following tabs are displayed:
• Under the General tab, select (a) the COM port the modem is using and (b) the modem’s maximum
speed.
• Under the Connection tab, in Connection Preferences, set Data Bits to 8, Parity to None, and Stop Bits
to 1. (Port Settings and Advanced may remain at their default values.)
• Also under the Connection tab, the Call Preferences may remain at their default values.
• The Options tab should remain at its default values for PPP connections.
4. Click OK to accept these values and return you to the modem name/type screen. Click Next.
5. Provide the area code and phone number of the Concentrator’s network (along with any other prefixes
needed to obtain an external connection): If it were necessary to dial “9” to make an outbound call from
the PC, we’d enter “9-1-555-555-1234” here. Also identify the country of the network. Click Next.
6. Confirm your choices. Click Finish to proceed, or Cancel to abort the new number shortcut.
7. After setting up a new number, a new dialing icon named “Conc_LRA3” is displayed under Dial-Up
Networking. Select this item, click File, and then Properties.
8. Click Server Type. Select TCP/IP.
9. If you have not configured primary and secondary DNS or WINS (NBNS) addresses on the Concentrator
(through PPP settings), you will need to manually enter them here. To do so:
• Click TCP/IP Settings. Select “Server assigned IP address”. Provide any additional DNS or WINS
information provided by your administrator.
• Click OK when you’re finished.
10. Double-click your new dialing icon to bring up the “Connect To” screen.
11. Enter your user name and password. These values must correspond to the CSM values: name “Rem_PC”,
password “secret1”.
