Internet Explorer Configurations
for Pioneer Internet Users

Configuring the Macintosh Remote Access Control Panel

  1. Remote Access consists of two separate components, the Modem control panel and the Remote Access control panel. Both will be correctly installed by the MacOS installer (MacOS 8.5 or later).

  2. In the TCP/IP control panel select PPP as your Connect Via: option. Then click on the Options button and ensure that Open Transport is active.

  1. Enter your personal details (username and password) in the Setup section, and select the Registered User radio button. Whether or not you ask Remote Access to remember your password upon the closure of this panel is optional (by selecting the Save password checkbox), but being prompted for your password each time you wish to make a connection is a worthwhile security measure.

  2. Using the auto-login feature
    Selecting the Options... button at the bottom of the PPP control panel will take you to the Options dialogue window.

  3. The options provided via the Redialing and Connection tabs are self explanatory, so we'll concentrate on the Protocol window, and specifically the Connect to a command-line host: option.

  1. Adding phone numbers to Remote Access
    Now that you know how to establish a connection to Pioneer's server, how do you configure Remote Access for another Pioneer phone number? First open the Remote Access control panel open, go up to the File pulldown menu and select Configurations.

  1. Select Duplicate... an existing configuration, and Rename... the copy. The name you call each configuration is completely optional, however a practical naming scheme would be to use the phone number of Pioneer.

  2. To alter details such as the actual phone number, click on the Make Active button. This will change the settings of the Remote Access Control Panel to the desired configuration. You will be returned to the Remote Access Control Panel, where you can now alter the telephone number shown in the area marked Number:. Closing the window will produce a prompt to save the new configuration.

  3. If you have any questions or problems, please contact Technical Support at 620-356-4638.
