Chapter 3. Installing 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module
Now, finish configuration of the Telecommuting Module from the computer/computers spec-
ified in the installation program.
Installation with a diskette
These steps are performed when installing with a diskette:
•
Select an IP address and store it on the installation diskette as described below.
•
Insert the installation diskette into the Telecommuting Module’s floppy drive.
•
Plug in the power cord and turn the Telecommuting Module on.
•
Connect the network cables to the network interfaces.
•
Wait while the Telecommuting Module boots up.
•
Configure the rest through a web browser.
You must first insert the diskette into your PC. If the PC is running Windows, open a Com-
mand window and run the
finst-en
script from the diskette. If the PC is running Linux, mount
the diskette, change directory to the mounted one, and run the
finst-en
script.
Each network interface is marked with a name (1 and 2), which corresponds to a tab under
Network Configuration
. All eth interfaces belong to ethernet cards and should only be
connected using ethernet cables.
Decide which computer(s) are allowed to configure 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module
and enter the name of the network interface to which they are connected, for example, eth0.
You must use the physical device name (eth0 and eth1).
Enter the IP address of the Telecommuting Module on this interface and the network mask
for the network.
A network mask can be written in two ways in 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module:
•
The first looks just like an IP address, for example 255.255.192.0 or 255.255.254.0.
•
The other way is as a number between 0 and 32. An IP address has 32 bits, where the
number of the network mask indicates how many bits are used in the network’s addresses.
The rest of the bits identifies the computer on the network.
Now, you can select to deactivate any network interfaces. Select y to deactivate all interfaces
but the one you just configured. The remaining network interfaces can be activated later
when you complete the configuration via the web interface from your work station. This
only applies to interfaces which was previously active; you can’t activate interfaces with this
setting.
Now enter the computer or computers from which the Telecommuting Module may be con-
figured (the configuration computers).
Then enter a password for the Telecommuting Module. This is the password you use in your
web browser to access and change the Telecommuting Module’s configuration. Finally, you
can reset all other configuration if you want to.
Following is a sample run of the installation program on the diskette.
