Support for Apple Remote Access and Mac2NCS

To use Apple Remote Access, you need the following:

• A Macintosh computer running system software version 7.0 or later
• At least 2 MB of memory and a hard disk
• If you are using Novell Client for Macintosh, at least 4 MB of memory
• A Hayes*-compatible modem with a data rate of at least 2400 bps

  HINT:  We recommend that you always use the latest ARA modem scripts. Contact Apple or the modem manufacturer for the most current ARA modem scripts for your modem. If your modem is not listed in ARA, Apple offers a utility to create your own ARA modem scripts.

• Apple Remote Access software
• The Set Remote Access Password utility to modify the remote access password

  This utility is shipped as a DOS executable on the Novell Client CD-ROM. Contact your network supervisor for access to this utility.

• If you will be logging in to a Novell Internet Access Server 4.1 server, you need the Novell Client for Macintosh program, including the MacIPX^® program.

Installing Novell Client for Macintosh

If you will use the Apple Remote Access software to access a NetWare server, you need to install the Novell Client for Macintosh utility on your remote Macintosh, if it is not already installed. Contact your network supervisor for access to this utility.

To install this utility, access a Novell server through AppleTalk* or a remote connection, locate the folder where Novell Client for Macintosh is located, and then drag the folder icon to a folder on your Macintosh.

After transferring the files, click the Novell Client for Macintosh Installer icon. The utility installs automatically and is available the next time you start your Macintosh.

Installing and Using Mac2NCS

The Mac2NCS component of the remote access software allows you to redirect the input from Macintosh communications applications to NASI ports on a server. You can use Mac2NCS connections for both dialing out from and in to the network.

To dial out using Mac2NCS, you need to install Mac2NCS and a Macintosh communications application which uses the standard serial driver interface on a LAN workstation. To dial in using Mac2NCS, you need to set up a Macintosh workstation on the network and install a supported third-party application on both the workstation and the remote PC.
