Ras Access - Aastra OpenCom 510 User Manual

Configuration Examples

9.3.3 RAS Access

You can establish a connection to the OpenCom 510 from an external PC via an
ISDN card.
The necessary IP settings are transmitted by the OpenCom 510 on establishment
of the connection. The computer that has dialled in has access to all services in the
LAN that can be used via the IP protocol. The authorisation for RAS access is set up
in the Configurator via the User Manager: User Groups menu.
The technical properties of the connection can be configured in the Configurator
via the NET Configuration: RAS menu. Further information can be found in the
online help of the web console.
In a serverless LAN, Windows uses the NetBIOS protocol for accessing files and
printers via the network environment. NetBIOS can use NetBEUI, IPX/SPX or IP as
the transport protocol. In the network environment, you can only access files and
printers on workstations using IP for NetBIOS.
Note: Workstation PCs automatically add a domain name to
URLs without a dot. You specify this domain name in the
Configurator. For example, if you have configured
"firm.co.uk" as the domain name, an access request for
"www.firm.co.uk" will be interpreted as a local DNS request
which does not lead to the establishment of an Internet con-
nection. For this reason, you should choose a name which is
not used in the Internet as the domain name ("firm-open-
com.co.uk" for example).
