Before you begin
The following actions should be performed before using the DSR Remote Operations command:
• Ensure that the switch is configured. See the installer/user guide for the DSR switch for
more information.
• Ensure that users have been added to the internal database of the DSR switch. If the DSView 3
software server is not available, the appliance database is used for appliance authentication. If
neither are available, authentication cannot be performed for the switch and an error will be
displayed by the DSR Remote Operations software. See the installer/user guide for the DSR
switch for more information.
• Ensure that an external modem is attached to the modem port of the DSR switch. The modem
port should have auto-answer turned off (typically a modem's default setting).
• Ensure that the PC containing the client interface has dial-up software and that the software is
configured properly. See the operating system documentation for more information.
• Ensure that you are using one of the following supported operating systems: Windows NT 4.0
Workstation or Server with Service Pack 6a or later; Windows 2000 Workstation or Server
with Service Pack 2 or later; or Windows XP Home Edition or Professional.
To use the DSR Remote Operations command:
1. Establish a dial-up connection to the switch from the PC containing the DSR remote
operations software.
