Configuration Examples
Note that such a connection is only set up when specific requests are made. These can be for FTP file
transfers, e-mails or downloading Web pages. Name resolution via broadcasts is not possible. If you wish to
use the LAN-to-LAN link to access files and printers in the Windows network, you need an IP-enabled server
that administers the name resolution for the Windows network.
As the IP address range, you can select one of the 256 class C subnetworks designed for local LANs. Select a
class C sub-network in the range from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0.

The Comfort Pro S uses a router function to access the Internet, which means that it automatically establishes
an Internet connection when required and terminates the connection after a certain period of time if no data
are being transmitted.
Unfortunately, programs other than those typically intended to access the Internet (such as your browser or
your e-mail software) may send out data packets which cause an Internet connection to be established, even
if these programs are not strictly Internet-associated applications.
Examples of such programs are the Microsoft
TM
XP
TM
operating system, various multimedia programs such
as Realplayer
TM
and anti-virus applications that may establish an Internet connection for automatic updates
(the so-called “phone home function”).
It is therefore highly advisable to limit ISP access by specifying the maximum monthly connection time under
Connection time per month

menu on the web console.

Configurator
from every workstation but also
to obtain a wealth of information from the Internet. Simply enter the desired URL in the address field of the
browser. Access from a stand-alone PC via an online service differs from Internet access via the
Comfort Pro S in the following respects:
