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
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.

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.
You cannot configure the unit to be an IP bridge and IP router at the same time.
