1 Introduction CommPlete Communications Server 1
RASExpress User Guide Introduction This manual describes how to configure and manage RASExpress on the CommPlete Communications Server. RASExpress is a set of software utilities for managing the CommPlete Communications Server’s remote access servers. Pre-installed on each of the CommPlete system’s RASCards are configuration and management utilities for terminal, Telnet and World Wide Web access. These utilities are explained in Chapters 3 and 4.
1 Introduction Typographic Conventions Certain typographic conventions have been adopted throughout the text of this manual to illustrate keyboard input, screen display dialogs, and special vocabulary. • Text entered by you is shown in bold. Example: supervisor. • Code examples and screen messages are shown in a monospace font. • Italics are used for important new terms, for book and manual titles, and when terminology is explained, introduced, or emphasized.
RASExpress User Guide How RASExpress Works with LANs and Data Communications A RASExpress server allows you to share modem services on a LAN. Services are shared by running a redirector program on the client PC that allows the user to connect to and log onto the RASExpress server. The DOS version of this program is a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program, which runs in the background until it is required. The DOS redirector used with RASExpress is MCSIWSN.EXE. The Windows version is WinMCSI.
1 Introduction The client PC operates with the MCSIWSN redirector for DOS or the WinMCSI director for Windows. To use the LAN version of a communications program, MCSI must be installed to redirect data to the LAN instead of to the client PC’s serial port. Any LAN communications program with the MCSI-compatible INT6B ACS API, such as NASI™ or NCSI™, can operate with the RASExpress server. A client PC can also dial out using an IP protocol such as Telnet.
RASExpress User Guide interface, where the data is converted to LAN packets and addressed to the destination client PC. At the client PC’s NIC, the data is sent to the redirector, converted into an asynchronous data stream, and sent to the communications software. Remote Control Dial-In Security You can increase the security of your LAN by using a dual-level security system. The first level of security is the user name and password.
1 Introduction Using PPP and TCP/IP with the RASExpress Server IP Addressing IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are 32-bit addresses used to uniquely identify devices on a diversified network. An IP address is formatted as four groups of three digits separated by periods, e.g., 204.220.153.001. There are three classes of Internet addresses: A, B and C. Class A networks use the first byte of the IP address for the network number, and the remaining three bytes for the host number.
RASExpress User Guide Default Route Configuration If the RASExpress server is connected to a network with an Internet connection, you should configure the IP default route address to the address of the router that interfaces the customer’s network. Mainly, this parameter is offered to accommodate nonRIP routers. All packets will be directed to this device for distribution. Internet T1-MUX IP Address = 199.24.15.244 Router or T1 IP Address = 206.16.196.254 IP Address = 206.16.196.
1 Introduction Specifications Software Features • Dial-in: Supports dumb terminal; Telnet; remote-node, remote-control, or PPP dial-in network access (including third-party PPP clients); Windows 95/98/NT callback and dial-up networking; and login security based on the dial-in protocol used (e.g., NetWare login, remote-control host security, PPP PAP and CHAP, RADIUS, or TACACS+ ).

7 RASExpress Script Language CommPlete Communications Server 149
RASExpress User Guide Introduction to the RASExpress Script Language The RASExpress script language is a set of commands that can be used to perform LAN-to-LAN login operations. A script file can be useful for both simple and complex operations, such as dialing a number, logging onto a server, downloading files, and so on. You can create a script file without programming experience if you have programming “intuition.” If you have had some exposure to C language or BASIC programming, so much the better.
7 RASExpress Script Language Arguments Arguments focus the execution of a command in some way. They can be passed from one process to another by value or by address. If you have one or two values you wish to pass, it is probably more efficient to pass the value. Following is an example of a statement that passes the value of variable t to process test. test (t); To pass an argument by address, prefix the argument name in the formal parameter list by the keyword VAR.
RASExpress User Guide c The argument is a character. If the corresponding argument is an integer the value of the argument modulo 256 is taken and copied; if the argument is real it is ignored and ‘0’ is copied; if the argument is a string the first character of the string is copied. % A % is copied to the output stream. If the character following % is not %, the % as well as the following character are copied to the output stream. Script Language Execution Notes Execution starts at the PROC main.
7 RASExpress Script Language Compiling a Script File The process of compiling converts the source code into an executable file, which is also to say that there are now two versions of your script file. One version (with the .SCR extension) is the source code, which can be altered by you in any text editor. The other version is the script file’s executable form (with a .COD extension), which cannot be directly modified by you.

RASExpress User Guide Appendix D Creating Filter Templates Introduction A filter template (also simply called a filter) can be used to selectively forward or filter inbound and/or outbound packets. It can be associated with either a user or a port; however, a filter associated with a user overrides a filter associated with a port. When a filter is associated with a user or port, all packets are compared with the filter patterns in the filter; if there is a match, the specified action is taken.
D Creating Filter Templates IPX Pattern: The IPX pattern applies a check similar to the IP pattern. The Operation parameter uses logical operators to extend the check to more than one pattern. If it is set to none, no further check is done for the following patterns in the list. If it is set to invert, the result of the check is logically negated to decide the action to be taken. If it is set to and or or, the result of the check is logically ANDed or ORed with that of the next pattern.
