Using a RAS Server before Connecting to Units

Fig. 3–21. Connecting to a RAS Server, Before Running View to Operate Units.
The two ways of using dial-up to connect to a Remote Access Service (RAS) server are:
Many units at once. A View operator, using a dial-up program of his/her choice, dials-up the
RAS server before using View. The definitions of Rapid Eye sites do not contain RAS or PPP
information. The sites are meant to behave as if they were on a View operator's LAN. See
figure 3–21.
Only one RAS-dependent unit at a time. See
In both cases, a RAS server has been set up on a server that accesses Rapid Eye Multi-Media
unit(s) on a network.
Planning to connect to many units
For access to a RAS server "in front of" Rapid Eye sites on a network, the RAS server's information
is not recorded in the Multi-Media sites' definitions. The RAS information must be known by the
user of the PC and recorded in a Microsoft dial-up application. The user must use the dial-up utility
to connect to the RAS server before starting a session at the site, using View.
Preparation
Define the sites as network units, using Admin; see Setting up a Connection to a Rapid Eye Unit,
p. 29. You can then use a modem to connect to these sites using the Microsoft dial-up application
to connect to the RAS server.
Use of an outside line requiring a prefix number
A prefix is an extra telephone keystroke such as a "9" or an "8" that you should be set in the
Window's Telephony program, running on the PC.
What your network administrator needs
Multi sessions (live, retrieval and alarm) are sent to port 10,000. This port should be left open in
your organization's firewall, for the sockets used by Multi.
