Useful Information on Internet Access
Web
A browser not only enables you to
use the OpenCom 100 Configurator
from every workstation, but also to
get information from the Internet.
Simply enter the desired URL in the
address field of the Web browser.
Access from a standalone PC via an
online service differs from Internet
access via OpenCom 100 in the fol-
lowing respects:
■ When you request a Web page,
dialling in results automatically.
There is no display of dialogues
with manual confirmation of di-
alling 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 OpenCom 100 automatically
releases the connection to the
Internet after a certain, specifia-
ble duration.
■ It is possible to call up Web
pages simultaneously from sev-
eral workstations.
■ The OpenCom 100 can block ac-
cess 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 ac-
