Remote Client
This chapter includes:
• Overview of the AIReach OS Remote Client – page 12–1
• Explains how to install the Remote Client – page 12–2
• Explains how to test the installation – page 12–3
The Remote Client can be installed on a Windows 95, Windows
98, or Windows NT computer to provide access from a remote
location to the AIReach OS. The Remote Client provides the
graphical user interface that allows you to access the System
Controller and AIReach Office software application. Through the
Client, you can execute Controller functions from the remote
computer.
The remote access service is typically provided by the Microsoft
Windows Remote Access Server (RAS). RAS answers incoming
phone connections and provides a PPP connection. Once a PPP
connection is established, the remote computer (client) functions
as if it were on the same physical network as the Controller. A
LAN intranet connection can be used as an alternative to RAS.
Typically, the System Controller is placed in a secure, limited
access area with the PBX. A separate operations room is typically
used for daily PBX and AIReach OS tasks, such as adding users
and deleting users. If desired, these operations can be performed
on a remote computer.
Note
Multiple users can access Subscriber configuration windows at the
same time, but only one user at a time can access Controller
configuration windows.
To use the Remote Client, the remote computer must have either:
• IP connectivity between the remote computer and the
Controller
• Dial–in access from the remote computer to the Controller
For dial–in access, the Controller must have a modem and
RAS configured and enabled.
