CHAPTER 5
Dial-Up Networking and RAS
Administration
In the terminology used by the Remote Access Service, the calling station is referred to
as the Client and the called station as the Server. The RAS client/server architecture
allows a station to be defined simultaneously as a server and as a client and therefore
enables simultaneous initiation of outgoing and incoming ISDN connections. For example,
this enables the peer-to-peer connection of two Windows 2000 or Windows XP
workstations.

The RAS client can be used to establish connections to the following remote stations:
• Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 computer with RAS in server
mode
