Adding or Reconfiguring a RAS Device
4. To reconfigure an existing RAS port, highlight the port/device and select the
Configure button. Then go to
Step 7 .
5. To add a new RAS device—for
example, if you are configuring a
new modem—select the Add button.
The Add RAS Device window
appears:
6. Use the droplist to select the COM
port (modem) that you want to
configure and select the OK button.
Note: If no modems appear on this
list, you need to install a
modem, see
Installing Modems .
The Remote Access Setup
window reappears.
7. Highlight the desired
COM port (Modem) and select the
Configure button. The Configure Port
Usage window appears.
8. Select the appropriate option, based
on the role the modem will perform,
and select the OK button.
Note: When configuring multiple
simultaneous RAS dial-in
ports, configure the ports to “Receive calls only” not “Dial out and
Receive.” Configuring a port to dial-out requires a separate memory pool
for each dial-out port, while all ports configured for receive-only share
the same memory pool.
If you configure too many ports for dial-out unnecessarily, resources can
become an issue. If you require dial-out on the RAS server, configure one
port to “Dial out and Receive” and all the other ports to “Receive calls
only.”
