Before using the DSR Remote Operations software

The following actions should be performed before using the DSR Remote Operations software:
• 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.
• An external modem must be attached to the PPP modem interface (modem port) of the DSR
switch. A modem/PPP dial-up connection must be established before the DSR Remote
Operations software may be started. The modem port should have auto-answer turned off
(typically a modem's default setting). The dial-up connection options should be set to 115200
