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.
The RASFinder 200-Series features a 10Base-T port for local LAN connection, Command port for
configuration, and three internal V.90 modems. New features include additional security using Multi-
Tech's Remote Dial In User Server (Radius), support for Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
clocking, and added security for remote dial-in users. System management is provided through the
Command port using bundled Windows
menus.
Note: Though the modems in the RASFinder are capable of 56 Kbps download performance, line
impairments, public telephone infrastructure, and other external technological factors currently
prevent maximum 56 Kbps connections.

Radius server for security services or a RAS application using the proprietary Remote User Data
