     The Remote Admin Tool, or RAT, gives the host full administrative  
powers of Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising game servers even if they  
are on a separate computer. With the RAT, a remote administrator has  
unlimited universal power, including the ability to adjust game  
options, add and remove maps, punt players, and "shake up" game-play. 
 
Before you can use RAT's substantial power, the server must have  
certain files properly configured.  
 
Login information is set in ADMIN.CFG. It looks like this: 
 
//NAME        PASSWORD    RIGHTS 
JoeUser        yoyoyo        3F 
 
Names in this file are not case sensitive but passwords are. Rights  
are explained in the comments of the ADMIN.CFG file. Don't forget to  
change the login information when you enable remote access.  
 
ADMIN.CFG can also be edited to restrict the IP addresses and domains  
which can connect to the server. Multiple restriction entries are  
supported. By default, the restriction looks like this: 
 
ip_restrict = 192.168.* 
 
A port for the remote administrator must be set in GAME.CFG. By  
default, the line is: 
 
remote_admin_port    = 0 
 
When the port is set to 0, remote access is disabled. To enable, set 
any open port. Numbers between 38000 and 65000 are recommended. For 
example: 
 
remote_admin_port    = 40000 
 
Once your login has been established and a port has been opened, a 
remote administrator must run the RAT executable and login. When the 
RAT executable is run, a window will display a command prompt. At this 
prompt type "OPEN [IP]:[PORT]" where [IP] is the server's IP address 
and [PORT] is the port specified in ADMIN.CFG. For example: 
 
OPEN 192.168.1.1:40000 
 
You will be asked for a login and password, in this example "JoeUser" 
and "yoyoyo." You will be notified if the login is successful. Once 
you are logged in, press the ENTER key at any time to get a list of 
available commands. Experiment with these commands to unleash the 
power of the RAT.
