OpenCom 100 in a LAN with an IP-enabled Server Configuration Examples
RAS Access
You can establish a connection from
an external computer with an ISDN
card to the OpenCom 100. The nec-
essary TCP/IP settings are transmit-
ted by the OpenCom 100 on estab-
lishment of the connection. The
computer that has dialled in now
has access to all services in the LAN
capable of being used via TCP/IP. The
authorisation for RAS access is set up
in the
Configurator
via the
User
Manager: User Groups
menu.
In a serverless LAN, Windows uses
the NetBIOS protocol for accessing
files and printers via the network en-
vironment. NetBIOS can use Net-
BEUI, IPX/SPX or TCP/IP as the trans-
port protocol. In the network
environment, you can only access
files and printers on workstations us-
ing TCP/IP for NetBIOS.
Note:
In a serverless LAN, the work-
stations running decide independ-
ently which one is to keep the list of
names visible in the network environ-
ment. This process is triggered by
broadcasts, which can take some time
on a RAS connection. You can shorten
this period by activating the “Find >
Computer” function in the Start menu
and selecting the client computer.
OpenCom 100 in a LAN
with an IP-enabled Server
In a LAN with an IP-enabled server,
you should coordinate integration of
the OpenCom 100 with the responsi-
ble network administrator. You must
decide on the IP address space to be
used and which network services
(DHCP, DNS, RAS, Internet access)
the OpenCom 100 is to handle in the
LAN.
