RAS Stations

The Network communication between two Movicon stations can be executed through a Ethernet network and a RAS connection via modem. To do this, you will need to create an "Incoming Connection" on the PC Server, so that when the Client makes a call and a connection is established, the two PCs will connect as if they were networking with each other.

In order to add "RAS Stations", you must use the "Add new RAS Station" command.

The RAS Connection is a function of the Operating System that allows a Server-Client type connection between two stations using a connection via Modem. Once the connection has been established, the TCP/IP protocol will be used to exchange data between Server and Client. The RAS connection can be created from the "Control Panel - Network Connections". However, the configuration procedure may change slightly according to the Operating System being used (ie. Windows 32/64 bit).

The RAS Station must be created only on the PC acting as Client, while an "RAS Incoming Connection" must be configured on the PC Server to allow it to respond to the Client's calls automatically.

For further information on how to set up a "RAS Connection", please consult the relevant form on the "Web Support Center".

Do NOT confuse "RAS Stations" with "RAS Connections". The "RAS Station" is infact a component of the Movicon project which is used to configure the communication parameters between Server and Client. Instead, the "RAS Connection" is an Operating System Setup which is used to establish a physical connection between Server and Client.
