CHAPTER 1 Basic Network Configuration Basic Network Configuration This section covers basic network configuration set-up and testing. Also covered are basic concepts and operations, including the difference between LAN and WAN networks and how IP Addressing is used. In a networked environment, such as a company, typically there are many computers connected together using a router or a switch.
A wide area network (WAN) connects two or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographical area. For example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over a WAN. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet.
80 is used for HTTP traffic. When you type an address into the address bar of a web browser, your computer goes to find an IP Address for the url you are requesting (http://www.telex.com). To obtain this address, the computer contacts a DNS server (Domain Name Server).

Basic Network Configuration IP ADDRESSES If you do not know your IP Address, you can open a DOS screen in a Windows screen. To find your IP Address using ipconfig, do the following: From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt screen. At the prompt, type ipconfig, then press Enter.
Basic Network Configuration Ping a Computer Pinging a computer on the network makes sure it is able to be “seen” and receive messages on the network. NOTE: You can also ping your RVON-8 card to verify that it is responding over the network by putting the cards IP Address in place of the computer IP Address.

IP Addresses be sure to use the same first 3 “octets” of the IP Address (for example, 192.168.0.X). Domain Name Server (DNS) A DNS Server is an Internet service that translates domain names (for example, in the URL http:// www.telex.com, the domain name is the telex.com) into IP Addresses. The Internet is based on IP Addresses...
Page 11
Network Terminology which are numeric and since domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. Every time a domain name is used it must go through the DNS server to be translated into an IP Address. Gateway A gateway is a node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. The gateway routes traffic from a computer to an outside network that is serving the web pages.

A wide area network connects two or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographical area. For example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several of its branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over the wide area network. The largest WAN is the Internet.
RVON Serial And Telnet Commands RVON card programming can be done via direct serial or telnet connection. There are several physical connections to an RVON board. • Direct serial through custom debug cable (J20 6-pin botton front) • Backcard DB-9 J2 - The backcardDB-9 must be disabled/enabled via a DIP Switch because it can also be used for serial port pass-through.
