Introduction
This chapter provides procedures for viewing or changing the configuration of a remote unit. Two
methods are provided to access a remote unit; the first method is modem-based and the second
method uses IP. Within the IP method, three different applications can be used: 1) LAN-Based
configuration using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), 2) Telnet as a client application, or 3) a
standard Web browser on the Internet.
Remote Configuration
Remote configuration requires that the RASFinder software be installed on the local PC. The local
PC then controls the remote RASFinder either through the modem connection or over the LAN.
Modem-Based
To remotely configure a RASFinder, a local PC needs to be connected to a dial-up line and the
RASFinder software configured to call the remote RASFinder. The remote RASFinder needs to have
a modem connected to a dial-up line and the Command port. Once the connection to the remote unit
is made, you can change the configuration as required. Once the configuration is changed, you can
download the new configuration to the remote RASFinder. Perform the following steps to remotely
configure a RASFinder through a modem connection.
1. At the remote site, remove the serial cable from the PC to the Command port connector on the
back panel of the RASFinder.
2. At the remote site, connect a special cable (Remote Configuration Cable) from the Command
port connector on the back panel of the RASFinder to the RS-232 connector on the modem. The
special cable is a serial cable with male connectors on both ends. Refer to Appendix A for cable
details.
a. Connect the modem to your local telephone line.
b. Provide your telephone number to the person verifying your configuration.
c. Configure the remote modem for 19200 baud and turn on Force DTR.
3. At the main site, connect your local PC to a modem that is connected to a dial-up line.
4. Install the RASFinder software on the local PC. When installed, click Start | Programs |
RASFinder | Configuration Port Setup, or double-click the Configuration Port icon in the
RASFinder program group.
5. The Port Setup dialog box is displayed.
