OVERVIEW

Whether you’re on the road making a sales call or working at home, you can dial up the Remote Access Server and access the office network to print reports and access e-mail while you’re away.

Available in three models (2-, 4-, and 8-port) for Ethernet applications, the server features high-speed serial ports that support up to 115-kbps connections. The device connects easily to today’s most popular asynchronous modems), 56-kbps modems, and ISDN terminal adapters.

Perfect for departmental or workgroup dial-in access or dial-out modem pooling, the Remote Access Server is a complete remote access server solution. With it, you get the server hardware device plus management, dial-out, and client software (with unlimited licenses). Remote users use the client software to access a LAN over inexpensive voice-grade telephone circuits and asynchronous modems and perform tasks just as if they were directly attached to it.

Intranet customers, for instance, can be given direct real-time access to online information that you store on an AS/400. And because they use their everyday Web browser for access and all function keys appear within their browser interface, there‘s no need to train them on any new software. The Remote Access Server can even be scaled as the number of your dial-in customers increases.

Extensive system support

For greater flexibility, the Remote Access Server works with

a wide range of hosts—NetWare®, OS/2® LAN Server, Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT®, and UNIX® (see page 3 for the systems supported). In fact, it supports all major desktop operating systems as well as all major LAN operating systems.

With the Remote Access Server, remote PCs act like a local node on your Ethernet network, so they can access all network resources in NetWare, OS/2 LAN Server, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, or LAN Manager. The server supports applications that require a fixed MAC address assigned to specific users,

such as ClientAccess®, PC Support 400, and PC Support.

The latest version of the Remote Access Server boasts features that make it even more flexible. In addition to supporting more operating systems, the server enables you to dial up your LAN using IP. The improved models come with protocol enable/disable options as well as IP and IPX™ packet filtering.

Extensive management

If you’re a network manager, you’ll be pleased at just how easy it is to set up and manage the Remote Access Server. Intuitive, menu- driven “wizard”screens guide you through the installation process.

Windows based management software that lets you install and manage the server from a PC that’s directly or remotely attached to your LAN. You can communicate with the server one of three ways:

•Over the LAN (inband) while using either IP or IPX protocols;

•By using the included direct-connect null-modem cable as a serial link between the management PC and one of the server’s built-in serial connectors; or

•By a dial-in, high-speed modem connection over the telephone network.
