Page 13: Introduction
NTRODUCTION This chapter introduces the internet server, as well as some of the technology that underlies it. Product Description The internet server is designed to provide a single-point access to the internet for multiple, networked PCs. One of the primary fea- tures of the internet server is that it provides multi-user access to the internet through a single user account and one connection. -
Page 14: Internet Server Technology
Internet Server User’s Guide interoperability with other Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network devices. ♦ Internet protocol support for: PPP, PAP/CHAP, NAT, TCP/IP, DHCP, ARP, ICMP, SMTP, POP3, FTP, Telnet, and HTTP. ♦ Support for device configuration via Telnet, web browser, and IS Admin program (included). ♦... - Page 15 public domain IP address. Using an internet server allows a single public IP address to be shared by multiple local end points simultaneously. Since the same range of local IP addresses can be used at as many multiple locations as necessary, available IP addresses can in- crease.

Internet Server User’s Guide Desktop / Shelf Installation The unit has rubber feet attached to the bottom to cushion it. Al- low enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it. Choose a sturdy, level surface in a ventilated area that is dust free and away from heat vents, warm air exhaust from other devices and direct sunlight. -
Page 19: Port Description
Installing the Internet Server on a Wall Port Description The internet server has two WAN ports. Internet Server Rear Panel Serial – WAN Serial ports are used for WAN connections either to a modem or an ISDN terminal adapter. Both serial ports are standard male 9-pin RS-232 connectors. -
Page 20: Rj-45 - Lan
Internet Server User’s Guide RJ-45 – LAN The internet server has a single, NWay RJ-45 LAN port. This port is 10Mbps and 100Mbps capable (auto-detect, auto-configure) and designed for use in an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN via a net- work hub. -
Page 21: Normal Led Flash Pattern
lated COM port will light. If no data is being transmitted, the COM LEDs will be off. Normal LED Flash Pattern Immediately after power-up, all four of the LEDs should display steady green for several seconds. Then both COM LEDs should flash simultaneously three times. -
Page 22: Connecting To The Internet
Internet Server User’s Guide Connecting to the Internet The internet server must be connected to the internet (this is also known as a “Wide Area Network or ‘WAN’” connection) using a COM serial port. A COM port can either be connected to the serial port of a modem (or fax/modem), or to an ISDN terminal adapter. -
Page 23: System Setup
YSTEM ETUP Before it can be used, the internet server has some variables that need to be properly set. This chapter describes how to change de- fault IP settings and then how to use Telnet or a web browser to manipulate the internet server. -
Page 24: Setting Ip Addresses
Internet Server User’s Guide Setting IP Addresses The internet server comes with a default IP address and subnet mask assigned. If you would prefer not to use the internet server’s default IP address, it will be necessary for you to change that ad- dress using the IS Admin program included with the device. - Page 25 Under TCP/IP (many Windows 3.1 and 3.11 users), the system IP and subnet mask are configured under “Setup” in the TCP man- ager. In Windows 95, users must go to the Control Panel and Network settings; Under Network settings, you must modify the TCP/IP properties for the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

Page 26: Using In-Band Telnet To Configure The Server
Internet Server User’s Guide We recommend that you make a note of each device’s IP address for reference during troubleshooting or when adding new stations or devices. Using In-Band Telnet to Configure the Server Once your PC is configured with an IP address on the same subnet as the server, start your Telnet program and enter the IP address assigned to the server when you are prompted for a host address. -
Page 27: Minimum Configuration
You should immediately see the internet server web browser inter- face menu. Note that the internet server IP can be bookmarked for future access so that it doesn’t need to be entered each time. The browser interface uses frames, so it is best if you use a frames- capable browser program. -
Page 28: Dns Ip Address
Internet Server User’s Guide DNS IP Address Domain Name Service (DNS) servers are used on the internet to maintain information about which Uniform Resource Locator (URL) name relates to which internet IP address. For example, the URL: WWW.CNN.COM, is a pseudonym for the IP address: 207.25.71.25. -
Page 29: Isp Account -> User Id
Example: Your ISP phone number is a local call to 916- 5555 and you must dial 0 in order to get an outside line from the office where you want to use the internet server. You would enter 0,,9165555 in the “ISP Account -> Phone Num- ber”... -
Page 30: Isp Account -> Password
Internet Server User’s Guide Must Be User Modified? Yes. Description: This variable is the user ID that will be pro- vided to the ISP once the modem connection is established. Notes: It may not be possible with some ISPs to use this variable to allow the internet server to automatically login. -
Page 31: Login Script
Login Script The login script allows you to list prompts generated by the ISP each time a user dials-up and then provide the right responses so that the internet server can login. The login script should be used when the Username and Password variables above don’t work with your ISP or if your ISP’s login procedure includes additional prompts (for example, a transmission protocol choice). -
Page 32: Operation
Internet Server User’s Guide Description: A login script is used to provide login prompt responses when required by the ISP login procedures. Each line item in the script table should correspond with a prompt that the ISP makes once the modem connection is estab- lished. -
Page 33: Configuration Variables
ONFIGURATION ARIABLES This chapter provides information about all of the configuration settings available on the internet server. Information about the range of values, default setting, and purpose for each variable is given. Sections and variable order correspond with the menu list- ings presented by the internet server Telnet console program. -

ISP Account -> User ID Options: For dial-up connections, the ISP assigned user ID name exactly as provided (i.e., all letters capitalized where necessary, underscores and other punctuation included). -
Page 40: Modem At Command
Internet Server User’s Guide Default Value: 0.0.0.0 Description: Dial-up connections should use address 0.0.0.0 if the IP will be dynamically assigned at each connec- tion. Otherwise, enter the IP address assigned by your ISP. Modem AT Command Options (sub-variables): ♦ Initial String: <AT &F> (default) ♦... -
Page 41: Login Script
Data Terminal Ready (DTR) to off to hang-up. Enable RTS/CTS flow control. Login Script Options: For each line item, a prompt string and a keyin string must be provided. The prompt string is the text dis- played by the ISP requesting that something be entered. The keyin string is what should be entered. -
Page 42: Dhcp Server Variables
Internet Server User’s Guide should include an indication of what data is being asked for at each step in the login process. Reply string data should be provided exactly as it would be if it were hand entered. DHCP Server Variables The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows servers and devices like the internet server to dynamically assign IP ad- dresses to network devices. -
Page 43: Ip Address Range -> Start
internet server will assign IPs to each station dynamically if the DHCP server function is enabled. IP Address Range -> Start The range of IP addresses available to the internet server for DHCP allocation is set using two variables. This is the first. Options: Any IP address within the three reserved IP ranges. -
Page 44: Ip Lease Time
Internet Server User’s Guide IP Lease Time Options: An amount of time, measured in minutes, from 5 to 65535. Default Value: 1440 (24 hours) Description: Dynamically assigned addresses can be peri- odically “refreshed” by a DHCP server. The IP Lease Time variable allows you to set that time limit. - Page 45 associate a port number with the local IP of a particular LAN server so that users not on the LAN can access that server. The internet server supports virtual internet servers so that your single-point ISP internet access can be used to provide externally- accessible servers for FTP and HTTP.
