Administration Installation Guide 49 More detailed information Administration Installation Guide 50 Remote install in detail In this chapter you can find more detailed information about the remote install process. In the case of a Push installation, the following operations take place: 1. RAS contacts a remote workstation and attempts to authorize the connection by the username and password created and entered by the administrator from the RAC (the password cannot be left blank, or the connection will not work). If successful, the RAS connects to the workstation using share ADMIN$ and starts copying the file nod32installer. exe belonging to the installation package. After that, nod32installer. exe contacts the RA server on port 2224 (TCP) and starts downloading the corresponding installation package.
