Quick Start with RAS
Express
MultiTech Systems has preinstalled RAS
Express
server software on your CommPlete 4000
to
make configuration as simple as possible. For your convenience, a copy of the RAS
Express
Installation program is on the CD-ROM shipped with the CommPlete 4000. Complete the
procedure below to put your CommPlete 4000 into operation as a Remote Access Server.
What you need to start
The CommPlete 4000 Server
A dumb terminal or an auxiliary PC (other than the CommPlete 4000 itself) that can
operate in terminal mode
A shielded RS-232C serial cable with a female DB-9 connector on one end and a
connector to match the serial port of the terminal or auxiliary PC on the other end
(supplied)
An IP Address assigned to the CommPlete 4000 server
An IP Subnet Mask assigned to the CommPlete 4000 server
Optional:
a client PC connected to the CommPlete 4000s network and equipped with
Telnet, a browser, or MultiManager
Accessing RAS
Express
To configure the CommPlete 4000 as a RAS
Express
server, you must first connect a terminal
or auxiliary PC to the CommPlete 4000s serial port. Then you must enable
IP Remote
Access
and program the
IP Address
and
IP Subnet Mask
into the CommPlete 4000. After
the IP Address and IP Subnet Mask have been entered into the CommPlete 4000, you can
either:
(a) continue using the terminal or auxiliary PC to program other network settings into the
CommPlete 4000, or
(b) re-boot the CommPlete 4000 and then continue programming the CommPlete 4000s
network settings from a client PC connected to the LAN in which the CommPlete 4000 is
the RAS server.
Do this using Telnet, or a browser, or MultiManager.
The steps for both methods are presented below.
Method A. Do All Configuration using Terminal or Auxiliary PC
A1. Be sure that the CommPlete 4000 is connected to the LAN. Turn off the power for the
