12 CommPlete Communications Server
RASExpress Quick Start
Each RAS96 RASCard comes with RASExpress pre-installed. However, RASExpress
cannot communicate with your LAN until it is set up with the correct IP address.
Required Equipment
•
A CommPlete Communications Server with at least one RASCard installed.
•
A dumb terminal or a PC that can communicate in terminal mode.
•
A shielded RS-232C serial cable with a female DB-9 on one end and a connector to
match the terminal’s serial port on the other end. (A DB-9 to DB-9 serial cable is
provided with the CommPlete system.)
•
An IP address for each RASCard and port that is to be configured.
Quick Start Procedure
1. Make sure that the CommPlete system’s MR9600 controller and the RASCard
segment’s T1 card or PRI card have been configured (refer to the System
Installation and Quick Start Guide.)
2. Turn off the RASCard.
3. Connect a terminal to the configuration port on the rear of the RASCard.
4. Turn on the RASCard.
Note: The RASCard takes a few moments to load the RASExpress software and
initialize the modems after it is turned on.
5. Turn on the terminal and press ENTER. The RASExpress server main menu
appears.
6. Type 1 and press ENTER to select Quick Configuration of Server.
7. Enable IP Remote Access (option 1), and type the IP address for the RASExpress
server (option 2). You will receive error messages that the remote addresses of
the WAN ports are not on the same subnet; this is normal for the initial setup.
Note: For detailed descriptions of menu options, see "Quick Configuration of
Server" on page 17.
8. Fill in the rest of the requested information. IP Default Route (option 4) is the
router address for the LAN’s file server.
9. If you set Remote Client IP Address (option 10) to Use DHCP, Use Address
Pool, or Use Radius, skip to step 10.
If you set Remote Client IP Address (option 10) to Configure Per Port, when you
are done with the quick configuration, from the main menu select Configuration
of server (option 3), then Communication Setup (option 3), and then ISI Setup
(option 1). Delete all ISI cards before saving and rebooting the server. This
corrects the initial subnet error the next time the server loads.
10. When you are done, press ESC and save the changes to disk. You will be asked to
reboot the server.
