Using RAS Terminal for Remote Logons

If a remote computer you dial in to requires a log on procedure, you must configure the Security settings for that RAS entry to use a RAS Terminal log on as described in the procedure below. After RAS connects to the remote system, a character-based window will appear and display the log on sequence from the remote computer. You use this screen to interact with the remote computer for logging on. Alternatively, you can automate the manual log on through RAS Terminal as described in the next section, "Automating Remote Log Ons Using SWITCH.INF Scripts."

To configure a Windows NT 3.5 RAS entry to use Terminal after dialing

  1. In Remote Access, select the entry you want to connect to.
  2. Choose the Edit button.
  3. If the Security button is not visible, choose the Advanced button.
  4. Choose the Security button. (In Windows NT 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11, this button is labeled Switch).
  5. In the After Dialing box, select Terminal. (In Windows NT 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11, this box is labeled Post-Connect).
  6. Choose the OK button until you return to the main Remote Access Screen.

After you dial and connect to this entry, the After Dial Terminal screen will appear and you will see prompts from the remote computer. You then log on to the remote computer using the After Dial Terminal dialog box. After you have completed all interaction with the remote computer, choose the Done button to close the After Dial Terminal dialog box.
