2.1.8 REMOTE CONNECTION FROM A CLIENT PC
2.1.8.1
MODEM CONNECTION (“OR POINT TO POINT CONNECTION”)
It represents the most common method where the LAN (intranet / Ethernet / internet) is not available.
It is strongly advised to use a dedicated telephone line.
IMPORTANT: Use exclusively modem devices approved by Dixell.
Remember that many modems are not compatible with Linux. The list of compatible models can be
found under the menu: Configuration
– System - Modem. In appendix E, you can find the complete
list of accessories together with their commercial name. Dixell can provide you these modems. You can
decide to buy them in your country, but do not use different models from the ones stated here. Dixell is not
responsible for any action depending on a modem that is not present in the official list of supported
accessories.
USB Modem (recommended).
Connect the USB Modem to the USB Port on the back side using the modem cable commonly included into
the modem packaging itself.
There is no need to give power supply to the modem because the Server provides it through the USB port.
The modem reset is directly controlled by the XWEB Server through the USB port by turning off and then on
the modem device.
Connect the modem to the telephone line with the phone cable included into the modem packaging.
Remember to check if there is a switching machine.
The connection procedure is divided in two parts:
In the first part it is necessary to create the Remote Access, in your remote PC, set with the telephone number
of the line where the XWEB is connected to. You have to use Dixell as Username and Password.
The second is the procedure you will ever use: after launching the new Remote Access that will engage the
line through the modem, start the Browser from your PC and insert the address
http://192.168.1.200 into
Explorer/Netscape address bar. Proper information about setting up a dial-up connection for the client PC, can
be found inside the INSTALLATION MANUAL on §5.1.
2.1.8.2 INTRANET / ETHERNET CONNECTION
The Intranet or Ethernet connection should be initially managed by the net administrator which will assign one
free IP address to reach the Server. This number is an example of what you should expect:
http://192.168.000.111.
After receiving the address from your network Administrator the XWEB must be set with this number.
REMEMBER: A setup wizard will guide you through the procedure. Please ensure you have an IP address to
use in network section.
Use a standard RJ45 network cable to connect the unit to your lan.
The Intranet method allows the connection to interact with XWEB from all the PC Clients. Insert the net
address assigned by the administrator into the Browser address bar. Bookmark the address with personalised
