RAS Stations

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

To add "RAS Stations" you need to use the "Add new RAS Station" command.

The RAS Connection is a Operating System function that allows a Server-Client type connection between two stations using a connection via Modem. One the connection has been established the TCP/IP protocol can be used for exchanging 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 which will 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".

Be careful not to confuse a "RAS Station" with a "RAS Connection". The "RAS Station" is infact a component of the Movicon project, which is used for setting up communication parameters between Server and Client. The "RAS Connection", however, is a Operating System Setup which is used for establishing a physical connection between Server and Client.
