Basic Configuration

onesfor getting started are the default gateway and, for SIP, the DNS server.
General

Name of this TelecommutingModule

Here,you can give your 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module a name. The name of the Telecommuting Module
isdisplayed in the title bar of your web browser. This can be a good idea if you administer several Telecommuting
Modules.The name is also used if you use SNMP and when you export log files into the WELF format.

Default domain

Here,you can enter a default domain for all settings. If a default domain is entered, the Telecommuting Module will
automaticallyassume that an incomplete computer name should be completed with the default. If, for example,
Defaultdomain contains company.com, you could as the name of the computer axel.company.com use only
axel.If no default domain should be used, the Default domain field should contain a single dot (.).

IP policy

Here,you specify what will happen to IP packets which are neither SIP packets, SIP session media streams, or
TelecommutingModule administration traffic. Discard IP packets means that the Telecommuting Module ignores
theIP packets without replying that the packet did not arrive. Reject IP packets makes the Telecommuting Module
replywith an ICMP packet telling that the packet did not arrive.
