Configuring Network PortsConfiguring Network PortsThe Communications Port dialog box, shown in Figure 7-5 on page 7-11, letsyou configure TCP/IP network ports for communication with devices, suchas apCs and modems. The dialog box also permits you to enable iSTAR dialupand serial communications by configuring Windows Remote Access Service(RAS) on a port.NOTEA different configuration method is used for iSTAR controllers connectedto the host over a network. See “Configuring iSTAR Classic & iSTAR ProControllers” on page 1-12 for more information.apC PanelsTo attach an apC device to a network port, connect the device to a networkserver device on the network, and use the Communications Port dialog box toconfigure the network port. See “Configuring Ports from C•CURE 800/8000”next in this section for configuration instructions.For example, to attach an apC to a network port, connect it to a terminal serverdevice on the network; use the Communications Port dialog box to configurethe network port; and in the apC dialog box, select the network port for theapC. See the terminal server device’s documentation for information aboutsetting up the network server.Figure 7-1 on page 7-7 shows the typical methods for connecting an apC to aC•CURE 800/8000 Server.iSTAR ControllersFigure 7-1 on page 7-7 also shows a typical network iSTAR configuration,using a network connection as the primary connection and a dialupconnection as the secondary connection.7–6 C•CURE 800/8000 Hardware Configuration Guide
