5.11 RAS
A Remote Access Server (RAS) is a piece of computer hardware which sits on a corporate LAN and into which
employees dial on the public switched telephone network to get access to their email and to software and
data on the corporate LAN.
This form is used to create a RAS service that the system offers Dial In users. A RAS service is needed when configuring
modem dial in access, digital (ISDN) dial in access and a WAN link. Some systems may only require one RAS service
since the incoming call type can be automatically sensed.
· Mergeable: These settings are mergeable. Changes to these settings do not require a reboot of the system.
Configuration Settings
· Name
A textual name for this service. If Encrypted Password below is used, this name must match the Account Name
entered in the Service form.
· Extension
Enter an extension number if this service is to be accessed internally.
· COM Port
For future use.
· TA Enable: Default = Off
Select to enable or disable - if enabled RAS will pass the call onto a TA port for external handling.
· Encrypted Password: Default = Off
This option is used to define whether Dial In users are asked to use PAP or CHAP during their initial log in to the RAS
Service. If the Encrypted Password box is checked then Dial In users are sent a CHAP challenge, if the box is
unchecked PAP is used as the Dial In Authorization method.
