RASFinder RF300E/RF310E User Guide
RF300E/RF310E74
Introduction
The information provided in this chapter enables multiple users to configure their PCs to access the
LAN through a RASFinder. The procedures are divided into two sections, based on operating
platform. The first section covers configuration of Windows 98/95 PCs, and the second section
covers configuration of Windows NT (4.0 Workstation) PCs.
Before you Begin
Before you begin the client setup process, read through the following requirements:
RASFinder
The RASFinder was configured by the administrator who, while installing the software, determined
that the RASFinder would either automatically assign Internet (IP) addresses, or require that they be
assigned manually to each client PC. Also, the administrator assigned an IP address to the
RASFinder’s Ethernet port, and assigned user names and passwords to the WAN links. All these
factors play a role in client configuration. Make certain that you are aware of the decisions made prior
to setting up client PCs.
PC
To access the RASFinder, your PC must have communications capability including hardware such as
a Dial Up Network Adapter/modem and any necessary software.
Make certain that your Dial Up Network Adapter IP addressing is dynamically assigned (default). If it
is, then the only information you may be required to obtain is the IP address of your organization’s
Domain Name Server (DNS) - if DNS has been enabled on the IP Setup dialog box, Advanced tab.
Note: In cases where the IP address has been manually assigned, you will need to know the IP
address of the RASFinder (Gateway address) in addition to the organization’s Domain Name.
Checklist
A checklist has been provided towards the end of each procedure (Step 16). This checklist is
included in the setup so that you can record all the pertinent information required for the connection
between your PC and the RASFinder. Keep this as a reference for future upgrades.
