USING WINDOWS NT RAS TO CONNECT
SITESPAN CLIENT AND SERVER
Overview
Sitespan is a client/server application capable of utilising the Remote Access
Service (RAS) and Dial-Up Networking features supported in Windows NT. For
the purposes of this document only and the potential complexity of Windows NT
the following limitations apply:
• Connection between the Client and Server applications is assumed to
be via a standard dial up modem.
• Installation of the modem itself has already been completed.
• The Sitespan applications are installed.
• Both the “Client” and “Server” computers have Windows NT
Workstation V4.0 installed. Other versions may be used but these are
not detailed within this document.
NOTE: During the operations outlined in this document it will be necessary to re-
start the system more than once. Ensure that all data is backed up before
commencing any work on the system. Whilst every effort has been taken to
ensure that this document is accurate, no responsibility is accepted or implied for
any loss or damage to equipment and/or data affected either directly or indirectly
by procedures outlined herein.
About Windows NT RAS
Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS) is a standard component from
Microsoft but it is not installed by default. RAS is designed to connect remote or
mobile systems to corporate networks and is a dial-up networking product. It is
not designed to provide “remote control” functions but to allow the sharing of
files and data between systems. RAS includes two main components, Client and
Server.
Client
The RAS Client allows a system to dial-in to a remote system or server.
Server
The RAS Server can permit up to 256 remote clients to dial in and can be
configured to provide access to an entire network or restrict access to the
RAS server only.
For the Sitespan application the RAS Server is usually installed on a stand-alone
system (the “Server” computer”).
