Client - Multitech RouteFinder MTASR3 User Manual

Client

The information provided in this section enables multiple users to configure their PCs to access the
LAN through a RASFinder. The RASFinder was configured by the administrator who, while installing
the software, determined that the RASFinder would either automatically assign Internet (IP)
addresses, or require that they be assigned manually to each client PC. Also, the administrator
assigned an IP address to the RASFinder's Ethernet port, and assigned user names and passwords
to the WAN links. All these factors play a role in client configuration. Make certain that you are aware
of the decisions made prior to setting up client PCs.
PC
To access the RASFinder, your PC must have communications capability including hardware such as
a Dial Up Network Adapter/modem and any necessary software.
Make certain that your Dial Up Network Adapter IP addressing is dynamically assigned (default). If it
is, then the only information you may be required to obtain is the IP address of your organization's
Domain Name Server (DNS) - if DNS has been enabled on the IP Setup dialog box, Advanced tab.
Note: In cases where the IP address has been manually assigned, you will need to know the IP
address of the RASFinder (Gateway address) in addition to the organization's Domain Name.
Checklist
A checklist is included so that you can record all the pertinent information required for the connection
between your PC and the RASFinder. Keep this as a reference for future upgrades.
Use the following checklist to record all the configuration settings for future use:
