Chapter 3. Installing 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module

The other way is as a number between 0 and 32. An IP address has 32 bits, where the number of the network mask indicates how many bits are used in the network’s addresses. The rest of the bits identifies the computer on the network.

Now, you can select to deactivate any network interfaces. Select y to deactivate all interfaces but the one you just configured. The remaining network interfaces can be activated later when you complete the configuration via the web interface from your work station. This only applies to interfaces which was previously active; you can’t activate interfaces with this setting.

Now enter the computer or computers from which the Telecommuting Module may be con- figured (the configuration computers).

Then enter a password for the Telecommuting Module. This is the password you use in your web browser to access and change the Telecommuting Module’s configuration. Finally, you can reset all other configuration if you want to.

Following is a sample run of the installation program.
