CHAPTER 5
Dial-Up Networking and RAS Administration
In the terminology used by the Remote Access Service, the calling station is referred to as the Client and the
called station as the Server. The RAS client/server architecture allows a station to be defined simultaneously
as a server and as a client, and therefore enables simultaneous initiation of outgoing and incoming ISDN or
channelized T1 connections. For example, this enables the peer-to-peer connection of two Windows
®
XP or
Windows Vista
®
workstations.
