Installing and Configuring the RAS Software
Just as on the JACE-NP, dialing into and out of an engineering PC is a function of
NT’s Remote Access Server (RAS). RAS is an optional Windows NT 4.0 or 2000
service that allows users to log into an NT-based LAN using a modem, X.25
connection, or WAN link. RAS works with several of the most popular network
protocols including TCP/IP, IPX, and NetBEUI.
Installing and configuring RAS on an engineering PC consists of the following steps:
