There are two ways of connecting to Multi-Media units when using a Remote Access
Service (RAS) server. You can connect to:
• Only one RAS-dependent unit at a time. A RAS server can be transparent to users of
View by adding RAS server information to the site definition. This is ideal when there is
only one Multi-Media unit on the network using the RAS server. See
• Many units at once. Users dial-up the RAS server before using View. This is discussed
in Using a RAS Server Before Connecting to Units
For both cases, a RAS is set up on a server that can access networked Rapid Eye
Multi-Media units.
You can use View to automatically connect to the site. A user has to end sessions with the
unit before using another unit on that same network. From a security point of view, the View
operator does not need to know the RAS username and password.
A Connection that Behaves Like Dial-Up
A session request behaves just as if you had reached the site's Multi-Media unit by
connecting directly to it by dial-up. Such a connection behaves as if it were a simple dial-up
connection. Two dial-up sites cannot be used at the same time with one modem. Sessions
to a dial-up site have to be closed before using another dial-up site.
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.

Note When overriding PPP in the definition
of a site, the other network's RAS
server is transparent to an operator.
The site responds as it would with a
dial-up connection.
