Opencom 100 In A Lan With An Ip-Capable Server; Dns Name Resolution - DETEWE OpenCom 100 Mounting And Commissioning

Note: In a serverless LAN, the work-
stations running decide independ-
ently which one is to keep the list of
names visible in the network environ-
ment. This process is triggered by

In a LAN in which an IP-capable
server is operating, you must coordi-
nate the integration of the OpenCom
100 with the Network Administrator
responsible. You must decide on the
IP address space to be used and
which network services (DHCP, DNS,

You can then use a workstation to

the server.
In networks in which the TCP/IP set-

ally, you have to enter the corre-
sponding TCP/IP settings in the
OpenCom 100 Configurator (NET
Configuration: Easy Access menu).
The OpenCom 100 acts as the DHCP

DNS Name Resolution

In a LAN with an IP-capable server,
this server 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 fur-
