LAN SERVICES E-SERVER : INTERNET APPLICATIONS
Ed. 046/8 Réf. 3EH 21000 BSAA
CONFIGURATION
OmniPCX
Click on "Network" in the "Settings" menu inside the configuration menu. Enter the following settings:
- "DNS" tab
• Your Domain Name: enter the internal domain name used on the LAN. The default setting is
company.world.
• Association List: the list of the host names on the LAN with a corresponding fixed IP address.
Each new element entered with an IP address and host name will be added to the OmniPCX
DNS table. To add an entry, enter the IP address and associated name, then validate by clicking
"Add". The new element appears automatically in the list underneath.
Important :DHCP clients must not be entered in this list.
- "IP Address Allocation" tab
• DHCP Lease Time: the lapse of time after which an IP address allocated to a DHCP client that
logs off is made available to another DHCP client. The shorter the lease time, the easier it will
to redistribute the IP address pool dynamically to the client stations.
• Dynamic IP Address Allocation: ranges of IP addresses allocated to LAN elements. These
ranges are defined by a "begin" IP address and an "end" IP address. They are allocated to the
PCs, phone terminals and VPN clients. To configure a range of IP addresses:
- enter the IP address for the start of the range in "Begin";
- enter the IP address for the end of the range in "End";
- in "Type", choose "Computer" to assign the range to PCs, "IP Enabler" for telephones, or
"Client to LAN" for remote PCs that access the LAN via a VPN tunnel;
- click "Add" to validate. The newly configured range is added to those already defined;
- repeat the operation as many times as there are ranges to define. After validation, ranges
can be deleted by clicking "Remove".
- "Routing Table" tab. The routing table allows OmniPCX to direct the various IP packets it receives
towards their respective destinations (Internet, LAN-based server or router, PC, etc). The table is in
two parts:
• A non-modifiable section ("Static Routes"), which covers the routes integrated by default at the
OmniPCX level, i.e. OmniPCX, the LAN and the Internet.
• a configurable section covering other IP routings. To configure an additional route, fill in the
following fields:
- "Destination": destination IP address;
- "Gateway": IP address of the gateway to contact in order to reach the destination address;
- "Mask": sub-network mask associated with the destination address;
