Setting Up

As you complete the product installation, the remote access software runs an automated setup procedure that lets you quickly and easily set up and configure your remote access server for basic operation. The automated procedure runs the first time you select Remote Access Configuration from the NIASCFG menu. The remote access software basic configuration process automatically loads AIO hardware drivers, selects modem types, and modifies the NETINFO.CFG file.

The automated setup prompts you to do the following:

• Identify the communications adapters installed in your server
• Identify the modem types connected to your server
• Select the remote access services to load

Before you start configuring the remote access software, make sure you have

• Installed the communications adapters
• Installed Novell Internet Access Server 4.1
• Connected modems to the ports on the adapter and turned them on

When you have completed the basic configuration, the remote access software assigns the basic profile to authorized users to

• Access all remote access ports
• Access all active remote access services
• Set ports for bidirectional use
• Log in for an indefinite amount of time
• Dial out to any number
• Access all AppleTalk* zones on the network

If you bypass or quit the automated setup, you can configure the remote access software manually. Refer to Remote Access Drivers and Ports.
