Chapter 6. Basic Configuration

Default domain

Here, you can enter a default domain for all settings. If a default domain is en- tered, the Telecommuting Module will automatically assume that an incomplete computer name should be completed with the default. If, for example, Default domain 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 Telecommuting Module administration traffic. Discard IP packets means that the Telecommuting Module ignores the IP packets without replying that the packet did not arrive. Reject IP packets makes the Telecommuting Module reply with an ICMP packet telling that the packet did not arrive.

Policy For Ping To Your 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module

Here, you specify how the Telecommuting Module should reply to ping packets to its IP addresses. You can choose between Never reply to ping, Only reply to ping from the same interface and Reply to ping to all IP addresses. Only reply to ping from the same interface means that the ping request should originate from a network which is directly- connected to the pinged interface of the Telecommuting Module or from a network to which there exists a static route from the pinged interface, or the request will be ignored.

Ping is a way of finding out whether a computer is working. See appendix D, Definitions of Terms, for further information on ping.

DNS Servers

Here, you configure DNS servers for the Telecommuting Module. The servers are used in the order they appear in this table, which means that the Telecommuting Module uses the top server to resolve DNS records until it doesn’t reply. Only then is server number two contacted.

No.

The DNS servers are used in the order they are presented in the table. To move a server to a certain row, enter the number on the row to which you want to move it. You need only renumber servers that you want to move; other servers are renumbered automatically. When you click on Save, the DNS servers are re-sorted.
