RAS Server

Tip

There are two ways of connecting to Multi-Media units when using a Remote Access Service (RAS) server.

•Only one RAS-dependent unit at a time. A RAS server can be transparent to users of View by adding RAS server information to the site definition. This is ideal when there is only one Multi- Media unit on the network using the RAS server. See figure 3–13.

•Many units at once. Users dial-up the RAS server before using View. This is discussed later in Using a RAS Server before Connecting to a Unit on p. 47.

For both cases, a RAS is set up on a server that can access networked Rapid Eye Multi-Media units.

A RAS connection is optional. For other means of connecting to a Multi-Media unit, see table 3–1on p. 29.

Planning to Connect to One Unit at a Time

You can use View to automatically connect to the site. A user has to end sessions with the unit before using another unit on that same network. From a security point of view, the View operator does not need to know the RAS username and password.
