Modem-Based Remote Configuration Procedure

Dual Ethernet ProxyServer User Guide

Introduction

This chapter provides procedures for changing the configuration of a remote unit. Remote configuration allows a PC at one site (local site) to dial a remote ProxyServer and change the configuration of that remote unit. Remote configuration can be accomplished either directly through the LAN or remotely using modems. To remotely configure a ProxyServer, a local PC needs to be connected to a dial-up line and the ProxyServer software configured to call the remote ProxyServer. The remote ProxyServer needs to have a modem connected to a dial-up line and the Command Port. Once the connection to the remote unit is made, you can change the configuration as you see fit. Once the configuration is changed, you can down load the new configuration to the remote ProxyServer. Refer to the Modem-Based Remote Configuration Procedure to remotely configure a ProxyServer.

To configure the remote ProxyServer through the LAN, change the communication type to the IP based Trivial File Transfer Protocol (known as TFTP) and change the configuration as you see fit. Refer to the LAN-Based Remote Configuration Procedure in this chapter to configure a remote ProxyServer.

Modem-Based Remote Configuration Procedure

1At the remote site, remove the serial cable from the PC to the Command Port connector on the back panel of the ProxyServer.

2At the remote site, connect a special cable (Remote Configuration Cable) to the Command Port connector on the back panel of the ProxyServer and the RS232 connector on the modem. The special cable is a serial cable with male connectors on both ends.

Connect the modem to your local telephone line.

Provide your telephone number to the person verifying your configuration.

3At the main site, connect your local PC to a modem that is connected to a dial-up line.

4Install the ProxyServer software on the local PC. When installed, click Start Programs Firewall Configuration Port Setup, or double click on the Configuration Port icon in the Firewall program group.

5The Firewall Setup dialog box is displayed.
