Installation
If used as media gateway, the communication with Microsoft servers occurs in the same way.
To make this possible, every OfficeMaster Gate is in need of a fitting network address. Possible ways of ensuring
this:
with DHCP server
OfficeMaster Gate in delivery condition (standard, even after resetting) receives its IP¬ configuration from the
in the network existing DHCP server. Via a DHCP server, IP¬ addresses and the Domain Name Server (DNS) are
assigned to computers in the network.
In OMCUMS, the IP-address of OfficeMaster Gate is manually declared.
The uniqueness of the IP-addresses is ensured and an address conflict ruled out, because only one side requires
a manual entry.
without DHCP server
Is no DHCP server existing in the LAN or is the existing DHCP server not assigning an address to OfficeMaster
Gate (because he for example is out of valid addresses), then OfficeMaster Gate will after a while automatically
assign itself a private address (a so called Zeroconf-Address, also called APIPA-method). This address allows the
activation of the build-in network interface, to ensure at least the availability via UDP broadcast. For the normal use
however, in this case a static address will have to be assigned.
The program OfficeMaster Gate Configuration (OfficeMasterGateConfig.exe) is used to find OfficeMaster Gate
in the network. By clicking the correct button, sub network wide search for OfficeMaster Gate is started via UDP
broadcast. Sub network in this case is the physical network, in which the computer with the IP configuration pro
-
gram is integrated. This sub network is usually restricted by network routers, for example firewalls, that do not
redirect the UDP broadcast.
In order to assign an address to OfficeMaster Gate, Office Master Software either uses an distinct IP address or
the resolved name.
If OfficeMaster Gate, as described above, is used as DHCP client, than it should be ensured, that OfficeMaster
Gate is available under the same IP address after reboots, so that the Server-Software can continue working properly.
Possible ways of ensuring this:
At the DHCP server, an IP address is reserved for the MAC address of OfficeMaster Gate. This way, OfficeMas
-
ter Gate receives the same IP address after every reboot.
In the OfficeMaster Server Software, instead of the IP address, the resolved name is configured. Now when the
DHCP server automatically refreshes the DNS server, OfficeMaster Gate will still be reachable by the Server Soft -
ware, even after having been assigned a different IP address.
