8.4 OpenCom 100 in a LAN with an IP-enabled
Server
In a LAN with an IP-enabled server, you should coordinate integration of the
OpenCom 100 with the responsible network administrator. You must decide on
the IP address space to be used and which network services (DHCP, DNS, RAS,
Internet access) the OpenCom 100 is to handle in the LAN.
The OpenCom 100 in a LAN with an IP-enabled server
In many cases, an IP-enabled server configures the IP settings via DHCP for all
workstations. On starting, the OpenCom 100 requests IP settings via DHCP. If this
request is responded to, the OpenCom 100 uses the IP settings received. You can
then use a workstation to access the OpenCom 100 Configurator under the IP
address assigned by the server.
In networks in which the IP settings are made manually, you have to enter the cor-
responding IP settings in the OpenCom 100 Configurator (NET Configuration:
LAN menu). Here the OpenCom 100 acts as the DHCP server. A workstation
requesting the IP settings via DHCP then receives the settings you made in the
Configurator.
8.4.1 DNS Name Resolution
In a LAN with an IP-enabled server, the latter is also responsible for DNS name
resolution. If you want to start the Configurator by entering a DNS name, you
must link this name on the server with the IP address used by the OpenCom 100.
For further information, refer to the server documentation.
