Appendix D describes the procedure for dialing into a remote Database Server from
another PC running Windows using the Remote Access Services (RAS)
capability.
RAS can be used to access the C:\STARDATE\Logs drive of any networked
Information Center or Client. Log files on the Information Center's C: drive can then
be reviewed or copied to the accessing PC.
Examples of files that appear on the C: drive are:
•
Run Time Error Log Files
•
Exception Error Log Files
•
Suspend Alarm Log Files
To utilize RAS, the remote Database Server being accessed must meet the following
requirements:
•
modem installed and turned on while the Database Server is booting up
•
modem connected to a dedicated, direct, inward dial, telephone line
•
RAS capability installed, configured, and enabled (started)
To access a remote Database Server that meets the above requirements, the
Accessing PC must meet the following:
•
modem installed and turned on
•
modem connected to a dedicated, direct, outward dial, telephone line
•
RAS capability installed, configured, and enabled.
•
proper protocols installed.
– Protocols for Information Centers are TCP/IP protocols
– RAS setup parameters are Network / Dial out Protocols / TCP/IP
Additional information required to access a Database Server is:
•
For DBSs its specific computer server IP (e.g. 172.31.221.0)
•
telephone number of the DBS modem telephone line being accessed
•
User Name (ServiceUser)
•
Information Center access password (M3150)
If these conditions are met, the following procedure describes how to access the RAS
