Chapter 4 Setting Up the Remote Connection

NOTE HP recommends that you supply power to your external
modem from an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), so that
you can be notified in case of an AC line power failure.
Remote Client Configuration (PPP/Dial-Up Networking)
This section describes using dial-up networking for a Windows NT 4.0 client.
Windows 95 and 98 configuration steps are similar. For other operating systems,
refer to your system documentation for instructions on how to set up a PPP
connection.
In Windows NT 4.0, after running the TopTools Remote Control BIOS setup
program to configure the card for PPP communication, do the following to set up
the remote client for PPP communication with the TopTools Remote Control
card:
1. The Dial-Up Networking feature must be installed and a modem must be
configured through the Windows Control Panel|Modems program.
2. If you want to set up dialback with your TopTools Remote Control Card:
◊ From Control Panel|Modems, select on your modem.
◊ Click Properties.
◊ Select the Connection tab.
◊ Click Advanced. Then add the following string in the "extra settings"
field:
x3&c0&d0
The dialback feature cannot function properly if you do not enter this
string in the Extra Settings field as indicated.
3. Configure Dial-Up Networking by double-clicking the "My Computer"
icon and then "Dial-Up Networking."
NOTE If you wish to configure dialback with the HP TopTools
Remote Control card, you need to login to the card first and
set the dial-back number under Configuration|Users.
4. In the Dial-Up Networking window, include phonebook entry and dialing
information.
