Configuration Examples Useful Information on Internet Access
■
When you request a Web page, dialling in results automatically. There is no display of dialogues with
manual confirmation of dialling in or hanging up.
■
Requesting Web pages is not a connection-orientated service. When the Web page has been loaded
completely, the TCP/IP connection is cleared. If you do not request further Web pages, the Comfort Pro S
automatically releases the connection to the Internet after a certain, specifiable duration.
■
It is possible to call up Web pages simultaneously from several workstations.
■
The Comfort Pro S can block access to certain Web pages by means of filter lists.
E-Mail
One of the most important services in the Internet is e-mail. E-mails are buffered in individual e-mail accounts
on a mail server. Mail servers are operated by ISPs for example. With the Comfort Pro S you can set up one or
more e-mail accounts for every user account configured on the Comfort Pro S. These e-mail accounts are
then checked at regular intervals.
If there are new e-mails in an e-mail account, and the Comfort Pro S has been configured for this function, the
user specified in the Comfort Pro S user account is notified of the new e-mail on his system terminal.
Comfort Pro P 100/300/500 system telephones can also display information such as the sender or the
subject of the e-mail.
NAT
Network address translation (NAT) is activated on accessing the Internet (ISP). You require this feature in
order to translate internal IP addresses to valid external IP addresses. This has three important consequences
for Internet access:
■
Several workstations can share a single Internet access. You do not require a LAN access, only a single
account with the Internet service provider.
■
The IP addresses used in the LAN are translated into IP addresses valid worldwide. So you require no
such addresses for your LAN.
