Granting Dial-in
Permissions
If any host is going to connect to RAS on the JACE controller you must grant the
connecting user dial-in permissions. You do this on the Users tab of the Admin tool.
For complete instructions, refer to the “Enabling Dial-in” section on page 4-16.
Using the
IspConnection
Object to
Control
Disconnects
A new module (isp) and object (IspConnection) have been added to the tridiumx
folder in release 2.3. They allow you to control the disconnect schedule of a
JACE-4/5 within the station. These replace the disconnect schedule in ras.properties
used in previous releases.
Using the module and object gives you the following advantages:
• Standard schedule object can be used to control the disconnect
schedule—This provides greater flexibility (and familiarity) in scheduling
connects and disconnects.
• GxPage access to the schedule—GUI access to the schedule is more
convenient for your clients.
• Enhanced logging and notification of connection problems—The station
can log and report connection problems via the alarm console of a Web
Supervisor or a notification recipient.
• Disconnect overrides—Provides a method to force a connection when a
critical point alarms.
