For ARA and non-AppleTalk users to share the same ports, the use of
AppleTalk Remote Access version 2.0 or later is recommended. If,
however, you plan to support ARA 1.0, you will need to determine
which asynchronous serial ports to use, since these ports will be
dedicated to ARA 1.0 only.
2 You will need a list of telephone numbers for each modem or ISDN line
(or hunt group) connected to the AccessBuilder's ports (these are the
numbers your remote users will use to dial into the AccessBuilder). If
you plan to use a modem on the AccessBuilder's console port for
remote management, you will also need the telephone number
associated with this modem.
If you plan to use the AccessBuilder for individual-to-LAN service, it's a
good idea to have a list of your remote access users including:
user name and password
callback number (if used), or modem line/phone number you wish
to assign to each user (note that callback only works when the
client is using the AccessBuilder Remote Client software or ARA).
type of access required (restricted, third-party security device used,
etc.)
For AppleTalk ARA users, be sure to install Apple's ARA client software
on each user's Macintosh computer.
For PC users, please refer to the AccessBuilder Remote Client Quick
Installation Guide for client software installation procedures.
If your remote users will be using the AccessBuilder Remote Access
Client software on their PCs to access the network, a convenient
fill-in-the-blank form (an exact screen shot of what they will see) is
provided in Appendix D of this Guide. This form may be photocopied
and customized for each user to include all the information they will
need to configure their AccessBuilder Remote Client software. The form
may then be sent or faxed to the user and filed for future reference.
You will need to know the network address (IP networks) which will be
assigned to each AccessBuilder being configured, the protocols used on
the network, and whether any automated network functions are used,
such as RIP or ARP in the case of IP.
