With the connection made, you can access the remote host as though you were
directly connected. For detailed instructions, see “Accessing the Host or Station,”
page 4-43.
Step 7 If you want to check the status of your connection or to disconnect, click the right
mouse button on Dial-Up Networking Monitor on the taskbar.
Accessing the
Host or Station
With the connection made, you launch the Niagara software, and connect to the host
or station using the IP address you noted in the DUN monitor. For example, to
engineer a station on the remote host, do the following:
Procedure 4-15 Opening a station located on a remote dial-up host.
Step 1 On the taskbar, click Start > Programs > Niagara <release> > Java Desktop
Environment.
Step 2 From the menu, click File > Open Station.
The Open Station dialog is displayed.
Step 3 In the Host text box, type the IP address of the remote host, as listed in the Dial-up
Networking Monitor (Figure 4-36). If you are using Windows NT, this is the
Dial-Up Server address; in Windows 2000 this is the Server IP Address.
Tip You can create a hosts table on your local machine, which equates this IP
address to the host name of the remote host. Then you can type the host name
here instead.
