3) Network Configuration This page is to define network type and set network addresses of NetServer. (1) DHCP Client Protocol DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is to manage host address on a network. With this protocol, every host on a LAN may share limited official IP address for Internet access. In other words, every host on a LAN may lease official IP address from DHCP server temporarily.
MTU Size : Depending on network type, administrator may set data packet size with this menu to utilize the network at most effectively. DNS Server IP Address: This is used when you register your NetServer on dynamic IP registration list of WRS (NetServer Registration Server). WRS has its domain name of ‘ NetServer.to’ and the domain name is registered on DNS servers on the world. When your NetServer asks the DNS server on your network, the DNS server resolves the corresponding IP address of ‘ NetServer.
(4) xDSL Interface If NetServer is connected on xDSL line and needs PPPoE process, administrator should select network interface as ‘ xDSL (PPPoE)’ . And administrator should configure user ID and password for PPPoE. ID and password may be acquired from the ISP that installed the line. And NetServer may get IP address when it is connected on xDSL line.
Dial-out 1: It is for NetServer to make dial-up progress to connect to ISP for PPP connection. NetServer dials up to ISP according to the event that is configured at administration page of ‘Application Configuration’ . After PPP connection is made, NetServer sends e-mail or file. The process is as follows. • NetServer dials up to ISP to connect on Internet. • ISP asks information for login such as ID, password, etc, and NetServer answers to corresponding questions.
• Users access NetServer homepage through web browser by entering NetServer’ s IP address to monitor real-time image. IP address of NetServer when it is dialed in When NetServer is dialed in by a PC and accessed through PSTN, NetServer always has its IP address of 10.0.0.10. And the IP address is not changed forever. Below items especially user ID, password, and phone number are used for NetServer to connect ISP based on standard PPP.
4) Dynamic IP registration service for ISDN and xDSL users This page is to register NetServer on dynamic IP registration server. If NetServer is installed on a network of dynamic IP address (floating IP address), administrator should register the NetServer on dynamic IP registration server to give common users simple connectivity. If not, no one can access the NetServer through Web browser. It is because that no one knows IP address which one can access the NetServer with.
(1) Auto IP Registration Function Administrator may register one’ s NetServer by enabling ‘ Auto IP Registration Function’ . Registration process is that NetServer detects IP addresses from DHCP server and informs the detected IP addresses to dynamic IP registration server. And the server updates already registered information with new one.
5) How to find a registered NetServer in NetServer Internet homepage On WebGate Internet homepage (http://www.webgateinc.co.kr), there are menus to find NetServer that is registered on WRS (NetServer Registration Server). (1) Sign up membership To search your NetServer out of a public list or a private list, sign up membership first. You may sign up on the server through ‘ Membership’ menu.
