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.

User List

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.

Network Basics

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.
