Working with NT
RAS Comtrol products are frequently used to provide Dial-Up Networking access with
NT RAS (Remote Access Service).
• If RAS is not installed, note that you must install at least one RAS-capable
device (for example, modem) before installing and configuring RAS.
• If RAS is installed, note that the modem installation process automatically
launches RAS Setup after modem installation is complete.
Installing Modems The following instructions were developed using Comtrol modem products. If you
are using another brand of modem, note that some prompts and window
descriptions may differ from those shown.
Follow these steps:
1. Connect the modem to the desired port.
2. Power up the modem.
3. Open the Control Panel window.
4. Double-click the Modems icon.
If you have no other modems installed, skip to Step 5 .
If you have already installed another modem, the Modems Properties window
appears. Select the Add button. The Install New Modem wizard appears.
