Configuring Workstations for NASI Dial-Out
4. Choose the data rate to match the modem.
Once the port is configured, you will be connected to the modem attached to the AWAN
access server. If you are using a terminal emulator, enter an AT command to verify that
you are connected to the modem. To dial the modem, follow the instructions provided
with your communications package.
If You Are Using INT14 to NASI Redirector for DOS
You can use the INT14 to NASI Redirector for DOS with any terminal emulator or other
communications software that supports the NASI Interrupt 14 communications
interface. To use a modem on the AWAN access server for dial-out, configure your
communications software as follows:
1. Choose NASI as your communications interface. How you select NASI will depend
on the communications package you are using. The device name may be shown as
NASI or Network Communications Services Interface (NCSI).
2. Choose the NASI service to use, or configure the application to prompt for the
service when you connect. Be sure to specify a dial-out port on the AWAN access
server. See your communications software documentation for information on how to
select a service when using NASI.
3. Choose the modem type for the modem that is attached to the AWAN access server.
Your communications software must be able to initialize the modem, so you must
choose the correct modem type.
4. Choose a data rate to match the modem.
Once the port is configured, you will be connected to the modem attached to the AWAN
access server. If you are using a terminal emulator, enter an AT command to verify that
you are connected to the modem. To dial the modem, follow the instructions provided
with your communications package.
Preparing Workstation Users
This subsection describes information you must provide to NASI dial-out users:
•
The name of the NASI server and service to use.
•
The user name on the AWAN access server must match the NetWare user name.
•
For the Com Port to NASI Redirector for Windows only: The NetWare user
name must match the name specified in the Redirector’s Access Security Profile
(choose Access Security from the Settings menu).
•
The type of modem associated with each NASI service. The users must configure
their communications software for the modem attached to the AWAN access server.
For AWAN access servers with internal modems, the user should configure his or her
communication software to use AT&T modems.
