3com 530 Manuel D’Utilisation

 

 

 

You can configure the unit to connect to other Novell 

 

networks, to bridge to hosts on the same IP network 

 

(a network with the same IP network address), to 

 

route to a different IP network (an IP network with a 

 

different IP network address) and to connect to the 

 

Internet or other Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) router. 

 

By using the commands several times, you can 

 

configure the unit to automatically connect to a 

 

combination of the above networks or to several 

 

different networks of the same type.

 

For example, if you need to connect to an IPX site, an 

 

IP host on a different network and to the Internet 

 

using an ISDN connection to your Internet service 

 

provider you would do the following.

■

 

Use the 

 

 command to configure the connection to 

 

the Novell server at the remote site.

■

 

Use the 

 

 command to configure the connection 

 

to the remote IP host.

■

 

Use the 

 

 command to configure the connection to 

 

your Internet service provider’s router.

 

The OfficeConnect Remote talks to other 

 

OfficeConnect Remote units using its own very 

 

efficient FastConnect protocol over the ISDN or WAN 

 

port connections. If you need to communicate with 

 

another manufacturer’s equipment, then you need to 

 

configure the OfficeConnect Remote to use the PPP 

 

protocol using the 

 

 option. See later in this 

 

section for more information. You can further 

 

configure the PPP parameters using the 

 

management system. See the 

 

 

 

guide for more information.
