Configuration Examples
Comfort Pro S in a Serverless LAN
IP enables the establishment of connections via one or more intermediate stations. The decision whether to
connect directly or indirectly to the partner device depends on the network mask. The network mask for a
class C network is 255.255.255.0. If the IP address of the partner device does not fit the network mask, the
connection is established via the default gateway. If a device knows several data routes to different interme-
diate stations, one speaks of a router.
The domain name system (DNS) resolves a plain text DNS name into an IP address. The DNS is a hierarchi-
cally structured database, distributed worldwide. A DNS server can supply information on the names and IP
addresses for which it is responsible. For all other information, a DNS server contacts other DNS servers. For
the establishment of every connection from the workstation, it is possible to give either an IP address, or a
name that a DNS server resolves into an IP address.

Comfort Pro S in a Serverless LAN
In a peer-to-peer network, the workstations are connected to one another via network cables. In many net-
works, the cables run in the form of a star from a central hub or switch. Such networks do not require special
servers. This configuration example is also valid for a LAN with a server using a protocol other than IP (e.g.
AppleTalk or IPX/SPX).
