3Com Version 4.3 Installation with a diskette

Chapter2. Installing 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module

Youhave now entered the following conﬁguration

Networkconﬁguration inside:

Physicaldevice name: eth0

IPaddress: 192.168.150.2

Netmask:255.255.255.0

Deactivateother interfaces: no

Computerallowed to conﬁgure from:

IPaddress: 192.168.128.3

Password:eeyore

Therest of the conﬁguration is kept.

Isthis conﬁguration correct (yes/no/abort)? yes

Now,ﬁnish conﬁguration of the Telecommuting Module from the computer/computers speciﬁed in the installation

program.

Installation with a diskette

Thesesteps are performed when installing with a diskette:

•Selectan IP address and store it on the installation diskette as described below.

•Insertthe installation diskette into the Telecommuting Module’s ﬂoppy drive.

•Plugin the power cord and turn the Telecommuting Module on.

•Connectthe network cables to the network interfaces.

•Waitwhile the Telecommuting Module boots up.

•Conﬁgurethe rest through a web browser.

Youmust ﬁrst insert the diskette into your PC. If the PC is running Windows, open a Command window and run the

ﬁnst-enscript from the diskette. If the PC is running Linux, mount the diskette, change directory to the mounted

one,and run the ﬁnst-en script.

Decidewhich computer(s) are allowed to conﬁgure 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module and enter the name of

thenetwork interface to which they are connected, for example, Network Interface 1. You must use the physical

devicename (eth0 and eth1).

Enterthe IP address of the Telecommuting Module on this interface and the network mask for the network.

Anetwork mask can be written in two ways in 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module:

•Theﬁrst looks just like an IP address, for example 255.255.192.0 or 255.255.254.0.

•Theother way is as a number between 0 and 32. An IP address has 32 bits, where the number of the network

maskindicates how many bits are used in the network’s addresses. The rest of the bits identiﬁes the computer on

thenetwork.

Now,you can select to deactivate any network interfaces. Select y to deactivate all interfaces butthe one you just

conﬁgured.The remaining network interfaces can be activated later when you complete the conﬁguration via the

webinterface from your work station. This only applies to interfaces which was previously active; you can’t

activateinterfaces with this setting.

Nowenter the computer or computers from which the Telecommuting Module may be conﬁgured (the conﬁguration

computers).

Thenenter a password for the Telecommuting Module. This is the password you use in your web browser to access

andchange the Telecommuting Module’s conﬁguration. Finally, you can reset all other conﬁguration if you want to.
