Hi
Greg:
To
answer you questions, see steps 5, 6, 7 and 8.
These
instructions assume you have set up the AccuVote-TS to communicate with the GEMS
host
via
modem, null modem or a serial cable connection.
To set
up RAS (Remote Access Services) for a GEMS host running on Windows 2000
Professional:
1)
Start>Settings>Control Panels.
2)
Double-click the Network and Dial-up Connections icon. Click
Next.
3)
Select Accept incoming connections (assuming you are configuring the GEMS
host/RAS PC to
accept
incoming connections from the AccuVote-TS using a modem, null modem cable or
serial cable connection)
and
click Next.
4)
Check the box next to Communications cable between two computers (COM1), (or the
name of the modem
you
are using) and click Properties.
5) On
the General tab, verify that the Port speed is set to 19200. Change
the Flow control option from
Hardware to None. Click the Advanced tab.
6)
Verify Data bits is set to 8, Parity is set to None, and Stop bits is set to 1.
Click OK, then click Next.
(Note:
The settings noted in steps 5 and 6 must match the settings for the
corresponding options in the
Edit
Transfer Parameters>Advanced>Device Properties>Port
settings tab in the Ballot Station.)
7)
Verify Do not allow virtual private connections is selected and click
Next.
8)
Select the check box next to the name of the user you would like to allow to
connect to the computer,
or
click Add... to add a new user.
If you
are adding a new user, enter a User Name, Full Name, and password for the user.
Confirm the
user's
password by entering it in the Confirm password field and and click OK. (Note:
You must have
Administrator privileges to create users and
passwords. Note also that User name and Password
settings must
match the settings for the corresponding options in the
Edit Transfer Parameters screen
in
the Ballot Station.)
9)
Verify Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is checked and click the Properties button.
Select Assign TCP/IP
addresses automatically if your RAS server is on a
network that uses DHCP, or click Specify TCP/IP
addresses and enter a range of addresses for the
AccuVote-TS devices you would like the RAS server to
accept
communication from. Check the Allow calling computer to specify its own IP
address option.
10)
Enter a name for your connection and click Finish.
If
there are additional considerations that users should be aware of, please let me
know.
