If you use the same login name for
the OpenCom 100 user account and
the same password for the network
login, you have to enter this combi-
nation only once when dialling in.
Note: In a larger network with sev-
eral segments, the list of the compu-
ter names visible in the network envi-
ronment can no longer be established
by means of broadcasts. In this case
you use a special WINS server whose
address the OpenCom 100 does not
make known to the workstation
when dialling in. For this reason, you
enter the address of a WINS server
LAN-to-LAN Link
You can use the OpenCom 100 to in-
terlink two LANs via ISDN. To do this
you configure two OpenCom 100
systems in such a way that they can
dial in to each other. In order for this
to work, the two LANs must be con-
figured for different IP address
ranges (sub-networks). For at least
one of the OpenCom 100 systems,
change the prescribed address range
for the LAN.
In the Configurator, NET Configura-
tion: LAN-LAN menu you can con-
figure the dial-in settings. The Open-
Com 100 will set up a connection
whenever a TCP/IP data transfer to
the other LAN is requested.

RAS Access via OpenCom 100 in a LAN
with an IP Server
Please note that such a connection is
only set up when specific requests
are made. These can be for FTP file
transfers, e-mails or downloading
Web pages. A name resolution via
broadcasts is not possible. If you
wish to use the LAN-to-LAN for ac-
cessing files and printers in the Win-
dows network, you need an IP-capa-
ble server that administers the name
resolution for the Windows network.
As the IP address range, you can
select one of the 256 Class C sub-
networks designed for local LANs.
Select a Class C sub-network in the
range from 192.168.0.0 to
192.168.255.0.
