Using a RAS Server before Connecting to a Unit

Fig. 3–15. Connecting to a RAS Server, Before Running View to Operate Units.

Tip

A RAS server may not be needed by your organization.

For other connections, see table 3–1on p. 29.

The two ways of using dial-up to connect to a Remote Access Service (RAS) server are:

•Many units at once. A View operator, using a dial-up program of his/her choice, dials-up the RAS server before using View. The definitions of Rapid Eye sites do not contain RAS or PPP information. The sites are meant to behave as if they were on a View operator’s LAN. See figure 3–15.

•Only one RAS-dependent unit at a time. See RAS Server, p. 44.

In both cases, a RAS server has been set up on a server that accesses Rapid Eye Multi-Media unit(s) on a network.

Planning to connect to many units

For access to a RAS server “in front of” Rapid Eye sites on a network, the RAS server’s information is not recorded in the Multi-Media sites’ definitions. The RAS information must be known by the user of the PC and recorded in a Microsoft dial-up application. The user must use the dial-up utility to connect to the RAS server before starting a session at the site, using View.

Preparation

Use the information in section Using Network Access, on p. 34 to define the sites as network units, using Admin. You can then use a modem to connect to these sites using the Microsoft dial-up application to connect to the RAS server.

Use of an outside line requiring a prefix number

A prefix is an extra telephone keystroke such as a “9” or an “8” that you should be set in the Window's Telephony program, running on the PC.

What your network administrator needs

Multi sessions (live, retrieval and alarm) are sent to port 10,000. This port should be left open in your organization’s firewall, for the sockets used by Multi.
