CommPlete Communications Server 191
Use the IP Remote Access Configuration window to set up parameters that apply to
IP routing on all ports.
IP Remote Access
This field shows the IP remote access status. When it is enabled, the RASExpress
server provides remote access on IP. This allows any remote PPP compatible client to
call in and access local TCP/IP hosts, such as WWW, FTP, Telnet, etc.
IP Address
This field shows the IP network address for the RASExpress server’s Ethernet inter-
face. It can be edited only if IP Remote Access is enabled. The IP address must be as-
signed by the system administrator, and it must be unique on the TCP/IP network.
IP Subnet Mask
This field shows the IP subnet mask of the RASExpress server. This field can be ed-
ited only if IP Remote Access is enabled. The mask shown in the example is the stan-
dard mask for a Class C network.
IP Default Route
This field shows the default IP route on the network on which the RASExpress server
is installed. Any IP packets that cannot be routed by the RASExpress server are sent
to this address. If there is no router on the network, the address should be filled with
zeroes. This field can be edited only if IP Remote Access is enabled.
IP RIP
Shows the IP Routing Information Protocol (RIP-2) status. Enable IP RIP if you want
the PRIme Access Server to use RIP-2 to do IP routing.
IP Learn Default Gateway
Enables or disables RASExpress to learn the correct default gateway if you have
configured the default gateway incorrectly or if the configured gateway goes down
and a different router starts acting as a default router. This feature requires a RIP-2
router that supports default gateway broadcasting.
Primary Name Server
This field shows the address of the primary name server that is used by the
RASExpress server to resolve names to IP addresses for Telnet and RLOGIN clients
dialing in from a dumb terminal. This field can be edited only if IP Remote Access is
enabled.
