TIP!

Using a RAS Server Before Connecting to Units

Operator's station,

application

A Multi-Media unit's own dial-up PPP username and password is used by default.
Entering a PPP username and password in a site definition makes View use your
entries for PPP instead of the Multi-Media unit's during a dial-up connection.
Caution Technical warning for PPP: Changing the Rapid Eye Multi-Media phone
book entry in a dial-up program is ineffective. The phonebook entry is
overwritten by data in the Multi-Media database every time an automatic
connection to a RAS server is attempted.

Note When connecting to a remote
access server (RAS) before
running View, remote sites
respond as if on the operator's
LAN, more slowly due to the
dial-up connection.
The two ways of using dial-up to connect to a Remote Access Service (RAS) server are:
• With 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
• Using 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 Multi-Media sites on a network, the RAS
server 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 using View to start a
session at the site.
