About Quick Configuration
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 NO command to configure the connection to
the Novell server at the remote site.
■ Use the IPR command to configure the connection
to the remote IP host.
■ Use the IN command to configure the connection to
your Internet service provider’s router.
You cannot configure the unit to be an IP bridge and
IP router at the same time.
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 Internet option. See later in this
section for more information. You can further
configure the PPP parameters using the
management system. See the Software Reference
guide for more information.
Before configuring the unit to use PPP, you should
check with your Internet service provider or with the
system administrator of the remote site to find out
which PPP parameters should be set and what their
values should be. Do not attempt to configure the
unit to use PPP without this information.
