  • Page 89 Appendix A Basic Network Configuration This section covers basic network configuration set up and testing. Also covered are basic concepts and operations, including the difference between LAN and WAN networks and how IP Addressing is used. In a networked environment, such as a company, typically there are many computers connected together using a router or a switch (for more information router or switch in the definitions section).
  • Page 90 A wide area network connects two or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographical area. For example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over the wide area network. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet.
  • Page 91 IP address for the URL you are requesting (http:// www.telex.com). To obtain this address, the computer contact a DNS server (Domain Name Server). Once the IP address is found, it tries to connect to the http port of the network device (port 80). See Table 1 for a list of the more well-known port numbers.
  • Page 92 Table 3. Well-Known TCP Port Numbers i t l i l p l i a l a i e l i e l i l i a l l e - t f e i l RVON-1 User Manual...
  • Page 93 IP Addresses If you do not know your IP Address, you can open a DOS screen in Windows up the ipconfig screen. To find your IP Address using ipconfig, do the following: From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt window. At the prompt, type ipconfig, then press Enter.
  • Page 94 Ping a Computer Pinging a computer on the network makes sure it is able to be “seen” and receive messages on the network. Note: You can also ping your RVON-8 card to verify that it is responding over the network by putting the cards IP address in place of the computer IP address.
  • Page 95 Possible Pitfall with Routers, Gateways, and Switches Anytime computers communicate through routers, gateways, and switches, they may be allowed or denied the connection. Network interface devices can be configured to block specific outgoing requests, as well as incoming requests, based on the IP address and/or port. This is one of the security mechanisms of a router. This also happens when broadcast messages are sent and received.
  • Page 96 RVON-1 Specific Configuration RVON-1 cards use ports for communication of audio and control packets. Because routers can be configured to block certain incoming and outgoing requests, you will need to open the following ports in your network to allow WAN connections to and from a Network Interface Device. See Table 4 for the ports that need to be opened for the RVON-1 card to operate properly.
  • Page 97 - A DNS Server is an Internet service that translates domain names (for example, in the URL http://www.telex.com, the domain name is telex.com) into IP Addresses. The Internet is based on IP Addresses which are numeric and since domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to remember.
  • Page 98 A wide area network connects two or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographi- cal area. For example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several of its branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over the wide area network. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet.

Without access to the physical KP-32 or KP-812 where the RVON-1 is installed, you can still configure the card through the use of Telnet.
