Objective: Learn how to configure Windows NT DialUp
Networking to connect to an X.25 network
provider.
Estimated time: 15 minutes
Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS) is usually used for modem connections to remote PCs, but you can also use RAS to access an X.25 packet-switching network. RAS supports Packet Assembler/Disassembler (PAD) devices and X.25 smart cards. Alternatively, you can use Windows NT’s Dial-Up Networking to connect to a commercial X.25 provider. This exercise assumes that any modems or RAS are not already installed. The purpose of this exercise is to simply show how you would go about selecting an X.25 PAD device in RAS.
1. Click the Start menu and choose Settings/ Control Panel. Double-click the Windows NT Control Panel Network application.
2. Choose the Network application’s Services tab. Click on the Add button. Choose Remote Access Service from the Network Services list and click the OK button. You are prompted for the location of the installation files. Type in the location and click on the Continue button.
3. A dialog box appears telling you that there are no RAS-compatible devices to add, and asking whether you wish to enable the Modem installer program to add a modem. Click on the No button.
4. The Add RAS Device dialog box appears. Click on the Install X.25 Pad button.
5. The Install X25 PAD dialog box appears. Here you need to select the port to which the PAD is to be connected, and the X.25 PAD name. This PAD name must correspond to the PAD supplied to you by your service provider. Select a PAD device and click on OK.
6. Click on OK again, and then in the Remote Access Setup click on Cancel. This stops the RAS install. You do not wish to actually install the PAD device because you do not have one connected to your machine. You are prompted that your changes will not be saved. Click on the Yes button.
7. Click on the Cancel button to close the Network applet.
