Remote Computer Setup

The remote user’s computer must have a modem or ISDN

connection and communications software that supports the

remote access protocol that they are using (PPP, SLIP, or

ARAP). A protocol driver must be loaded on the remote user’s

computer for these types of connections.

Provide the user with a:

• User name and password

• Telephone number to access the NETServer

Some other considerations:

• If set to EITHER, the NETServer will auto-detect the remote

computer's PAP/CHAP settings and MTU size. NETServer

will attempt CHAP authentication first, then PAP.

• The remote computer may specify an IP address that will be

used for the session. If the NETServer is configured to

negotiate an IP address with the remote computer, it will

automatically detect this address.

Note: If the remote computer does not have an IP address

configured and the address selection type is negotiate, the

NETServer will terminate the call.

• The remote user can also configure the protocol that he or

she will use (for example, IP or IPX).

The remote computer should be configured for the following

communications parameters:

• 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit

• Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control

• Normal Carrier Detect

Note: These settings are the defaults. If you change the

NETServer's communications settings, you must provide the

remote user with the appropriate settings as well. See the CLI

Reference Guide for more information.
