General Network Parameters - Alcatel-Lucent Extended Communication Server Installation & Configuration Manual

Chapter
4

1. General Network Parameters

2. Network connections. After you have configured the network connections, you can
access the Internet from the administration Interface (unless a remote proxy controls the
Internet access, see the note below).
3. DHCP. After you have activated the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service,
you can access the administration interface and the Virtual Desktop from any workstation
located in the LAN. As an alternative, it is possible to assign a static IP address to each
machine of the LAN.
Note:
An additional section deals with the Remote proxy submenu. Follow this section instructions if a remote
proxy controls the Internet access (usually, in large companies only).
4.2 General Network Parameters
To set the general network parameters:
1. Select the Service management > Network service management > General Network
Parameters menu.
The general network parameter form is displayed.
2. In the Appliance host name field, enter the server name that will identify the server in the
network. Any name can be used.
3. In the Appliance domain name field, enter the name of the domain the server belongs to,
such as "mycompany.com".
Important:
The domain name is later used in many other settings, such as email addresses.
4. If the WAN access address is dynamically assigned or if it is a PPPoE connection, the first
and second name resolution servers are assigned automatically.
Else assign them manually:
• In the First name resolution server field, enter the DNS (Domain Name System)
server address provided by the ISP (Internet Service Provider).
• In the Second name resolution server field, enter the second DNS server address
provided by the ISP. The second DNS server address is optional.
5. Click OK.
