Using the DSR Remote Operations software

operations software.

when a dial-up connection is established. It is not necessary to enter a username or
password in the dialog box. When this dialog box appears, click OK to close the
dialog box.

Remote Operations to start the DSR Remote Operations software on the PC. The Login
dialog box will appear. Log in using a valid username and password to establish a DSR
Remote Operations software session with the DSR switch over the modem link
The switch will disconnect the modem connection if a user does not log in within the
time period specified by the authentication time-out value. The default authentication
time-out value (120 seconds) may be changed using the Terminal Applications menu.
See the installer/user guide for the DSR switch for more information.
The DSR switch will attempt to contact the DSView server to authenticate the user. If
the DSView server is unavailable, the switch will use its internal database to
authenticate the user.
3. Type the username and password to which you wish to connect and then click OK. If
authentication is successful, the DSR Remote Operations window will open.
