e) Network setup.
For the XWEB network interface configuration. Normally, these parameters are to be agreed with the
network administrator, so it is advisable to contact him/her for guidance and support.
-
‘
Lan enable
’: disable the check to use the XWEB with local interface only (monitor and keyboard). In this
way, it will not be possible to access the server by means of the local network or internet. Disabling is not
a common procedure: if in doubt, keep this box enabled.
-
‘
Automatic DHCP
’: enable this box if your network provides a DHCP server and if you want it to inform
the XWEBEVO regarding which IP to use. Disabling implies that the user configuring the XWEBEVO
must explicitly indicate the following parameters:
Hostname
IP Address
IP Mask
Gateway IP Address
DNS1 IP Address
DNS2 IP Address
Domain search name/ip address
-
‘
Host name
’. Name identifying the machine within the network. Example XWEB0001
-
‘IP Address
’: is the unambiguous address used to access XWEB. There are two types of IP addresses:
private and public. The first are used when the clients connected to the network must not be externally
reachable; a closed environment is created where communication is only enabled between the network
PCs. 192.168.x.y is an example of a private address. The public IPs are used when there is need for
visibility on the Internet.
-
‘IP Mask
’: is a filter that allows for the routing of the packs directly to clients belonging to the subnet
mask. For example, a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 enables XWEB to directly reach only the PCs with IP
addresses compatible with the mask, with the exception of the last octet. All other requests are routed to
the gateway (if present).
-
‘Gateway IP’
: The Gateways are devices that handle the routing of the network traffic that is unable to
directly reach the destination IP. Example 192.168.0.1
-
‘DNS1/DNS2 IP Address
’: In order to reach a web server on the internet, you must enter the name, e.g.
www.dixell.com, in the Browser address bar. In fact, following the use of specific communication
protocols required to guarantee the efficiency and the safety of the network, the name is converted into a
number (the IP address). This operation is performed by a DNS server. The ISP or network administrator
can normally provide a DNS server. Example 10.100.1.20
-
‘
Domain search name/ip address
’. Example MYCOMPANY.COM
