Multi-Media Site: Connection Configuration

RAS Server
There are two ways of connecting to Multi-Media units when using a Remote Access Service (RAS)
server.
• Only one RAS-dependent unit at a time. A RAS server can be transparent to users of View by
adding RAS server information to the site definition. This is ideal when there is only one Multi-
Media unit on the network using the RAS server. See figure
3–13.
• Many units at once. Users dial-up the RAS server before using View. This is discussed later in
Using a RAS Server before Connecting to a Unit on p. 47.
For both cases, a RAS is set up on a server that can access networked Rapid Eye Multi-Media
units.
Tip
A RAS connection is optional. For other means of connecting to a Multi-Media unit, see
table 3–1 on p. 29.
Planning to Connect to One Unit at a Time
You can use View to automatically connect to the site. A user has to end sessions with the unit
before using another unit on that same network. From a security point of view, the View operator
does not need to know the RAS username and password.
