    Introduction Welcome to Multi-Tech's new RASFinder™ Model MTASR3-200, a Remote Access Server (RAS) for remote dial-in access and LAN-to-LAN routing capability. The RASFinder 200-Series is a remote access device that supports up to three concurrent dial-in sessions and IP or IPX remote access.
  • Page 7 Chapter 5 - RAS Dial-Out Redirector Chapter 5 describes how Multi-Tech’s Remote Access Server for Microsoft network users enables them to dial out and fax out through the MTASR3-200. It provides information on installing and configuring the WINMCSI modem-sharing software.

  • Page 8: Front Panel

    Front Panel The front panel has four groups of LEDs that provide the status of the LAN connection and link activity. Two other LEDs indicate the general status of the RASFinder. The Ethernet LEDs display the activity of the LAN, i.e., whether the RASFinder is connected to the LAN, transmitting or receiving packets, or if a collision is in progress.

  • Page 9: Back Panel

    Back Panel The cable connections for the RASFinder are made on the back panel. Three groups of cables are used on the RASFinder: the Command port, three RJ-11 ports (Links 1, 2, and 3), and the Ethernet port. The cable connections are shown in Figure 1-3 and defined in the following groups. Link Connectors (Links 1, 2, and 3) These Link connectors are used to connect the RASFinder to a WAN.

The RASFinder defaults to a RAS configuration during the initial software loading. Typical examples of both types of applications are presented in the following paragraphs.
  • Page 35 Chapter 4 - RASFinder Software network. The address assigned to the Ethernet port of the RASFinder can be any address that is recognizable by your network’s backbone. After you enter your LAN IP address information and three sequential WAN addresses have been automatically placed in the Remote address for WAN 1, 2, and 3 fields, ensure that the Enable IP Routing on WAN 1, 2, and 3 are checked.

  • Page 38 Chapter 4 - RASFinder Software information (for one remote user at a time) via the Add Users dialog box. The user name and password in this application must be negotiated between the RASFinder administrator and each remote user. User names can be up to 39 characters long, with any printable characters; however, no spaces are allowed within the names.

The time of day and days in which the user can access the network are the final items in the User Permissions dialog box. Once this is established for each user and the user database is loaded into the RASFinder, all the remote users can dial into the network and access the network resources according to the restrictions/permissions on this dialog box.

  • Page 40: Router Application

    The second basic application for the RASFinder is LAN-to-LAN routing as shown in Figure 4-3. The RASFinder is initially configured for a RAS application. To configure the RASFinder for a router application, you have to change the WAN port addresses to be on a different network from the LAN port.

    Redirect message to the source IP address. The most likely cause of this message is the delivery of a datagram to a router that is not on the forwarding path to the destination address. This is often due to a wrong configuration of the IP client sending the datagram. The packet causing the ICMP Redirect message to be transmitted is forwarded to the appropriate router.

In order for the Manuals server on the Publications network to appear on the Corporate LAN, we need to subnet the Manuals server with an Address Mask of 255.255.255.224.

  • Page 48: Filters

    Filters The network administrator can set up filters on the RASFinder for better control. Filtering can be used when you want to block all packets originating from a specific destination (called source address filtering) or all packets heading for a particular destination (called destination address filtering). Filters can be set up to exclude packets of a particular protocol (TCP or UDP) or any particular field in a LAN packet.

Novell Netware File Servers implement broadcast frames, often referred to as security frames, that contain serialization information regarding the license of the file server executable.

  • Page 52: Ipx Filters

    IPX Filters The network administrator can set up filters on the RASFinder for better control. IPX packet filtering can be set up to selectively filter or forward packets based on the IPX address. Filtering can be used when you want to block all packets originating from a specific destination (called source address filtering) or all packets heading for a particular destination (called destination address filtering).

Encapsulation: A technique used by network-layer protocols in which a layer adds header information to the protocol data unit from the preceding layer.
  • Page 102 Glossary Foreign Exchange Office (FXO): provides local telephone service from a CO outside of (“foreign” to) the subscriber’s exchange area. In simple form, a user can pick up the phone in one city and receive a tone in the foreign city. Connecting a POTS telephone to a computer telephony system via a T1 link requires a channel bank configured for the FX connection.
  • Page 103 Glossary Internet Protocol (IP): A protocol used to route data from its source to its destination in an Internet enviroment. The Internet Protocol was designed to connect local area networks. Although there are many protocols that do this, IP refers to the global system of interconnecting computers.
  • Page 104 Glossary Local Exchange Carrier (LEC): The local phone company which provides local (i.e., not long distance) transmission services. AKA “telco”. LECs provide T1 or FT1 access to LDCs (unless the T1 circuit is completely intra-LATA). Inter-LATA T1 circuits are made up of a combination of Access and Long Haul facilities. Local Management Interface (LMI): A specification for frame relay equipment that defines status information exchange.
  • Page 105 Glossary Office Channel Unit - Data Port (OCU-DP): The CO channel bank used as the interface between the customer’s DSU and the channel bank. Off-hook: The condition of a device which has accessed a phone line (with or without using the line). In modem use, this is equivalent to a phone handset being picked up.
  • Page 106 Glossary Private Branch Exchange (PBX): A phone exchange located on the customer’s premises. The PBX provides a circuit switching facility for phone extension lines within the building, and access to the public phone network. See also “Exchange”. PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory - pronounced “prom”): A permanent memory chip that can be programmed or filled by the customer after by the manufacturer has set initial values.
  • Page 107 Router: A device that connects two networks using the same networking protocol. It operates at the Network Layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model for forwarding decisions.
  • Page 108 Glossary Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC): A discipline conforming to subsets of the Advanced Data Communications Control Procedures (ADCCP) of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) of the International Organization for Standardization, for managing synchronous, code-transparent, serial-by-bit information transfer over a link connection.
  • Page 109 Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): A communications protocol used in Internet and in any network that follows the US Department of Defense standards for internetwork protocol. TCP provides a reliable host-to-host protocol between hosts in packet-switched communications networks and in interconnected systems of such networks. It assumes that the Internet protocol is the underlying protocol.
