4.5 Tips

Domain Name
Server (DNS)
WINS Server
My IP Address is : 204.17.209.7
Your IP Address is : 204.17.209.210
The Subnet Mask is : 255.255.255.0
With this example, IOLAN+ is now in CSLIP mode, so put
your PC into CSLIP mode as well. Your dialer script will have
to parse out the My/Your addresses from the above message.
'Your IP Address' will be the address of the PC that is calling
in, and 'My IP Address' can be the PC's default gateway. The
above procedure works for SLIP and PPP as well. However,
PPP will not display the 'My IP...' message because the IP
addresses are negotiated automatically in the IPCP layer.
With the Connection field on the Port Setup Menu set to
Dedicated , if you do not specify a P, S or C in front of the
user name, you will be authenticated and then connected to
the host. This will leave you at a shell prompt on the
Authentication host. A caller will never see IOLAN+. If
Connection is set to None , you will be left at the CLI prompt
(i.e. IOLAN> ).
IOLAN+ can be configured to take advantage of your
network's Domain Name Server (DNS). This is important for
ISPs. From the Administration Menu select server and key in
the IP address of your DNS in the Name server field. You
could fill in the Domain name field as well.
If you have a local NT server running WINS and you want
dial-in clients to take advantage of that, put the IP address
of the NT server in the WINS server field of the Server
Configuration screen.
