Setting Up Your PC
PC Remote Access Software
Ensure you know whether the network access server port you are dialing in to requires
you to enter a login password or logs directly in to the local user interface. If this is the
case, you will need to use terminal emulation to communicate with the access server
following modem connection.
Ensure you know whether the network access server port requires a PPP/PAP
password. If so, you will have to configure the password on your remote node access
software.
Reference
Refer to the documentation included with your PC remote node access software for
installation and setup procedures.
Novell Workstation Software
Novell NetWare workstation software (or equivalent) must be installed on your PC.
This makes it possible to establish and maintain IPX network connections.
Reference
Refer to your
Novell Installation Guide for Workstations
and the documentation
included with your PC remote node access software for more information.
Novell Utilities for Local Execution
After a remote node access connection is made to a Novell fileserver, ensure that the
Novell utilities you need are stored locally on your PC. This is because activating large
executables from a network disk can result in long load times due to the relatively
slower speed of the serial line. See the Novell Operation section in this chapter for
more information.
