Configuration Configuration for Linux and MacOS
If the PC has been operating in a net-
work or used for Internet access, it is
possible that access may be config-
ured indirect via a proxy server. De-
activate access via a proxy server
(“Direct connection”). To do this in
the Internet Explorer, open the Inter-
net options in the menu “Tools > In-
ternet Options”, then select the
“Connections” tab. In Netscape Com-
municator, you select the command
“Edit > Settings” and then select the
section “Extended > Proxies” under
“Category”.
Note: Reset your browser’s options
for the call-up of pages to their de-
fault settings specified on initial in-
stallation of the browser.
Configuration for Linux and MacOS
All modern operating systems sup-
port the TCP/IP protocol. You can
find detailed information on setting
up hardware and software for the
Windows operating systems under
Configuration under Windows start-
ing on page 48. In this section there
are tips on integrating Linux and
MacOS operating systems.
Linux
The Linux network configuration is
usually performed by the set-up pro-
gram with which you install a Linux
distribution. After installation, you
will see a series of “How To's”. In
“Linux NET-3-HowTo” and “DHCP
Mini-HowTo” you will find instruc-
tions on TCP/IP configuration.
For the OpenCom 100 to configure
the TCP/IP settings of a Linux system
via DHCP, you must also install the
“dhclient” package and activate con-
figuration via DHCP in the Linux net-
work configuration. To access the
OpenCom 100 Configurator, you
should also install Netscape Commu-
nicator 4.5 (or higher).
MacOS
The TCP/IP protocol is already inte-
grated in the new MacOS starting
with version 7.6. For the
OpenCom 100 to configure the TCP/
IP settings of a MacOS system via
DHCP, you must set the configura-
tion method to “DHCP Server” in the
menu “Control Panels TCP/IP”.
To access the OpenCom 100 Config-
urator, you should also install Net-
scape Communicator 4.5 (or higher)
or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.5 (or
higher).
