About the Remote Access MultiPort Server and Remote Access Manager
The Remote Access MultiPort Server is a product that turns a computer
running the Mac OS into a remote access server supporting up to 16 lines for
remote connection by users. Remote Access Manager is the application for
configuring ports and controlling user access to the server.
Remote Access allows users to use network services, such as file sharing, electronic
mail, and print servers, that are available on an AppleTalk local area network.
Users can print on a remote printer, send data to or retrieve data from file
servers, or access remote computers and network-based host systems. In
practical terms, users can access their offices from home or on the road.
The remote access server administrator uses Remote Access Manager software
to set up and administer the server. These tasks include the following:
m setting server preferences
m registering users
m configuring ports for dial-in and callback access
m establishing server security
Note: There are a number of ways to establish server security. Refer to
Chapter 3 for more information about the types of security available for a
Remote Access MultiPort Server.
