Installing Remote Access Concentrator Software for Windows and Windows NT
Overview, Requirements and
T
his chapter provides an overview of Remote Access Concentrator
(RAC) Software for Windows, and the requirements for installing the
software. The chapter also describes how to use online help.
Remote Access Concentrator Software for Windows includes three
modules:
Remote Annex Server Tools for Windows NT allows you to boot and
configure RACs in a Windows NT network. The software includes the
expedited remote procedure call daemon (erpcd), which runs on the host
server and on request from the RAC, downloads operational code and
other files. The Server Tools also enable you to use the Windows NT
domains to authenticate and authorize RAC users.
The Network Administrator Utility (NA) enables you to display and
configure operating characteristics of a RAC and its ports. The utility also
enables you to remotely boot the RAC, upload the RAC operating image
before a boot, and broadcast administrative messages to ports on a RAC.
The utility can be installed with the Server Tools on the host server and
on other Windows platforms on the network.
The Quick2Config Annex application provides a Microsoft Windows
based user interface that you can use to configure, manage and monitor
remote access servers in a networked environment. Quick2Config Annex
is compatible with the Optivity
Bay Networks. Using the Quick2Config Annex application you can:
• Configure a RAC or group of RACs with an easy-to-use
graphical interface
• Retrieve status and statistical information from a RAC or RACs
• Discover RACs on the network
