Installing RAS
This section includes information on how to install RAS on workstations
running MS-DOS, with or without Microsoft Windows, and how to install
RAS when you need to use the network in the office and from a remote site.
If you will only be using your workstation for dialing in to a network, go
directly to the following sections.
If you need to connect to a network both from a remote site and from your
office, your workstation must have a LAN Manager network driver to access
the network from the office, and the RAS drivers to access the network from
a remote site. See “Installing on Dual-Role Workstations,” later in this
appendix.
Installing on MS-DOS
LAN Manager workstation software must be loaded on your workstation
prior to installing RAS.
To install RAS on MS-DOS
1 Insert the RAS installation disk in drive A.
2 Type a:\setup. The Setup box appears on the screen. Use the TAB key to
move around in the Setup box. Pressing ENTER selects the highlighted option.
If the Setup program detects that a network adapter driver has been configured,
the program asks whether the user plans to use a:
• Network adapter or modem, but not both at the same time.
• Network adapter and modem at the same time.
If you plan to use a computer both at and away from the office, select the first
option. If you plan to use a computer only at the office, select the second option.
If no network adapter is detected, the Setup program assumes you will only be
using RAS from a remote site.
The system installs the files, and the Add COM Port box appears on the screen.
3 Specify a port and click the OK button. See the Help screen for detailed informa-
tion on port setting choices.
