Remote Access Port
Access Manager 2000 requires that the host PC has one dedicated
communications serial port for access by a remote terminal or computer.
COM1 is normally assigned as the dedicated pcANYWHERE port. This
is the remote access port and is configured in the Host PC setup of
pcANYWHERE. COM2 and upward are then configured within Access
Manager.
CAUTION
The default configuration of Access Manager includes COM1 as a
Comline Definition. It must be deleted from the database wheneve
using COM1 as the remote access port with pcANYWHERE. When a
modem is used with the remote access port, and pcANYWHERE is
configured for a modem, then pcANYWHERE automatically
configures the modem.
Accumaster is an AT&T network management system which can manage
alarm messages from Access Manager. When used together, Access
Manager sends alarms through a comport in an Accumaster protocol.
Setting this up requires the following:
Inactivity
time-out
Set to
No Time-out
or
0 seconds
, to allow
pcANYWHERE to hang up only if the remote modem hangs
up.
The inactivity time-out does not work unless it is set to less
than one minute. This is because in the remote terminal (/VT)
mode Access Manager updates the screen (current time
once every minute and pcANYWHERE treats this as activity.
The remote operator is responsible for dropping the line when
communications is complete.
Login
parameters
This option allows you to set the login parameters (such as
the password). Selecting the
Defaults
option applies the
same login parameters to every remote caller.

This allows pcANYWHERE to know whether you are using a
remote PC or remote terminal to run the Host PC. Select
