Support for Remote Control Dial-In Connections Through IPX

Third-party remote control applications that support the Internetwork Packet Exchange^TM (IPX^TM) protocol can use PPPRNS to establish a dial-in connection. The remote control application includes a host and a remote component. The remote component is installed on the calling PC, and the host component is installed on the network workstation or the application server. PPPRNS manages the connection between the host and the remote components of the third-party application.

Configuring the Host

To set up a remote control connection, complete the following steps on the network workstation:

1. Log in to the network.

2. Bring up the host component of your application and establish an IPX connection.

3. Specify a name for your host IPX session.

Configuring the Remote Workstation

To configure the remote workstation, complete the following steps on the remote workstation dialing in:

1. Run the remote access dialer and establish a connection to remote access.

2. Start your third-party application from your local drive and select IPX.

3. Select your IPX host session from the displayed list.
