Internet Access
It is possible to connect a complete company network (LAN, Local Area Network) with the Comfort Pro S. All
work station computers within the LAN can then access the Internet via the Comfort Pro S. If Internet access
is already available from an Internet Service Provider, this can also be configured in the Comfort Pro S. The
Comfort Pro S provides the IP configuration required for Internet access. A DHCP server and a DNS server
are integrated into the Comfort Pro S and these handle the administration of IP addresses and name
resolution for the client computers.
The Comfort Pro S provides Internet access for all connected PCs through a common IP address. Only this
address is externally visible in the Internet. Network Address Translation (NAT) translates the local IP
addresses of the client computers to the IP address of the Comfort Pro S. This means that the workplace
computers in the LAN cannot be directly reached from the outside (i.e. from the Internet) and are thus
protected from direct attack from the Internet. The LAN is additionally protected by the Comfort Pro S filter
lists, which can be individually configured (Firewall function).

Access starting on page 89.
E-Mail
An e-mail function, which can use the POP3, APOP or IMAP4 protocols to check the Internet Service Provider
for incoming mail, is integrated into the Comfort Pro S. Mail account retrieval can be configured for each
member of staff when configuring Comfort Pro S.
Comfort Pro S then fetches the headers (Subject) and sender information from incoming e-mails from the
mail servers at preset intervals and forwards them to the user’s system terminal.
E-mail accounts for sending mail can also be configured for users. E-mails can then, for example, be sent
direct from the Telefonie-Assistenten to other users. In addition, users who have had a voicebox configured
for themselves can be notified by e-mail of new voicebox messages.
