Making a User-initiated Connection from an Engineering
PC
In order to contact a remote direct-dial server, you must manually initiate a
connection from the engineering PC (be it a Web Supervisor or Technician PC). This
would include any connections for:
• Engineering the remote station
• Reviewing web pages hosted on the remote station
• Using the Admin Tool to maintain the host
You create the connection with Windows Dial-up Networking (DUN). After you
launch the connection, you use the IP address of the remote server to access the host
or station database.
Caution The only reliable way to make a user-initiated connection is by using the
following method.
Do not use the File > Open Dial-up (Station) option
located on the menus of either the Admin Tool or the JDE.
