To use a dial-up connection, you must have the applications (services) listed below (if the OS is Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP, no application (service) is required):

OS	Application (service)
Windows NT Service Pack 3 or later	Remote access service
Windows 2000
Windows Me or Windows 98	Dial-up network

You must set the information about the connection-destination host in the remote access service or dial-up network.

Also, during installation or setup of JP1/Software Distribution, you must specify whether a dial-up connection is to be used, and (if so) you must set the user name and a password for dialing.

The following table lists the facilities that can be used through a dial-up connection for each program menu that corresponds to a component.

#1

For details about dial-up connections for client facilities of relay managers or relay systems, look down the Component column to the Client entry.

#2

This is the basic facility that is available in an environment where a server, relay system, or client is installed. There is no special program menu.

Note the following points about establishing dial-up connections:

• A client that connects to multiple relay systems can also use a dial-up connection. To do so, all the relay systems to be connected to must be installed in a LAN on the same router.
• Relay systems in two or more hierarchies that are connected through a dial-up connection will not work.
• To set a connection destination in a telephone book using the remote access service, use the telephone book of the system.
• If Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows NT Workstation is used in a managing server or relay system, it cannot establish connection simultaneously with multiple clients or relay systems by dial-up connection.
• If an application other than JP1/Software Distribution has already established connection with the same destination by means of a dial-up connection, JP1/Software Distribution uses that connection. In such a case, connection will not be broken when JP1/Software Distribution processing is completed. You must end the connection by disconnecting from the first application that established the connection or use the OS functionality to specify a timeout setting for dial-up connections.
• In the dialog box displayed by choosing Internet Options from the Tools menu of Microsoft Internet Explorer, if the Dial whenever a network connection is not present option is selected on the Connections page, be sure to use the OS functionality to specify a timeout setting for dial-up connections. Such a setting will enable Microsoft Internet Explorer to dial automatically when JP1/Software Distribution is not connected, without user intervention, and will prevent a dial-up connection from going on indefinitely.
• If a connection is being established from a managing server to a relay system by a dial-up connection, an attempt to connect from a relay system to the managing server using a dial-up connection may fail. To avoid this, specify a value of 1 or greater for the Retry count for establishing socket connection when you set up the relay system.
