with an IP-enabled Server
In a LAN with an IP-enabled server,
you should coordinate integration of
the OpenCom 130 with the responsi-
ble network administrator. You must
decide on the IP address space to be
used and which network services
(DHCP, DNS, RAS, Internet access)
the OpenCom 130 is to handle in the
LAN.

configures the TCP/IP settings via
DHCP for all workstations. On start-

ing, the OpenCom 130 requests TCP/
IP settings via DHCP. If this request is
responded to, the OpenCom 130
uses the TCP/IP settings received.
You can then use a workstation to
access the OpenCom 130 Configura-
tor under the IP address assigned by
the server.
In networks in which the TCP/IP set-
tings are made manually, you have
to enter the corresponding TCP/IP
settings in the OpenCom 130 Con-
figurator (NET Configuration: Easy
Access menu). Here the
OpenCom 130 acts as the DHCP
server. A workstation requesting the
TCP/IP settings via DHCP then re-
ceives the settings you made in the
Configurator.
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
