Where the Internet Server fits in the Network

The Internet Server must always be placed between the device that is used to connect to the Internet (called the

Internet Gateway in this guide) and the rest of your network. You connect to your network through a hub or switch.

7

Positioning the Unit

When installing your Internet Server, ensure:

It is installed horizontally.

It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.

Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers.

Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.

Ensure that the airvents are not obstructed and that air flow around the unit and to the fan in the rear of the case is not restricted. 3Com recommends you provide a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance.

For security reasons, 3Com recommends that you install the

Internet Server in a locked room or cupboard where it cannot be tampered with. 3Com also recommends that, if possible, you connect the Internet Server to an

Uninterruptable Power Supply to maintain services in the event of a mains power failure.

Installation Flowchart

This flowchart provides a brief overview of the installation process. Full instructions are provided in the sections that follow.

Connect the Internet Server to the local network and to the

Internet Gateway, and power it on. See “Connecting to your

Network” on page 9. Wait for approximately three minutes. The

Internet Server will beep twice to show it has initialized.

Run the Internet Server Client

Wizard CD on the System

Administrator PC. See “Running the Client Wizard” on page 12.

Complete the Internet Server

Installation Wizard. See

“Running the Internet Server

Installation Wizard” on page 16.

If needed, use the Internet Server

Client Wizard CD to install a browser, e-mail client and help files on the other PCs on the network.

Open a browser on the

System Administrator PC and browse to the

Internet Server’s Web interface at http://is:8000.

Create user accounts on the Internet Server through the Web interface.

Reboot the PCs to obtain an IP address from the

Internet Server, if the

Internet Server is the

DHCP Server.

8

Install your Network and Network Software

The Internet Server provides a connection to a 10BASE-T or

100BASE-TX network. It connects like any other computer to a hub or a switch on your network.

Before installing the Internet Server, install your hub or switch and cables. You should also install Network Interface

Cards (NICs) in all the PCs on your network that do not already have an Ethernet connection built in.

Each PC must also have TCP/IP drivers installed so that it can communicate with the Internet Server. For more information about installing TCP/IP drivers, refer to your PC User Guide, your NIC User Guide or your Windows manual. The TCP/IP configuration can be carried out by the Internet Server

Client Wizard.

Install your Internet Gateway Device

The Internet Server is designed to work with any Internet

Gateway device that provides either:

■ an Ethernet 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX connection (such as LAN modem or router) a serial RS-232 connection (dial up modem device).

The connection you use to access your Internet Service

Provider (ISP), depends on the type of Internet Gateway device you choose and the services offered by your ISP.

Before installing the Internet Server, install your Internet

Gateway and check that you can connect to your ISP. If you intend to use e-mail, check that you can send and receive e-mail across the Internet into your ISP mailbox.

If you have any problems connecting to the Internet, do not install the Internet Server until these have been resolved.

Check the User Guides supplied with your Internet Gateway device and, if necessary, consult with your ISP’s technical support service. If the fault lies in the physical connection to your ISP, you may need to contact your telecom’s service provider for assistance.

Connecting to your Network

The Internet Server is connected to your network like any other computer. The LAN Ethernet Port automatically sets itself to the speed of your network (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps).

To connect the Internet Server:

1

2

3

Where possible use the Ethernet cable supplied with the

Internet Server. If this is not long enough, use a length of straight through CAT5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors at each end.

Connect one end of the cable to the LAN Ethernet Port on the rear of the Internet Server.

Connect the other end of the cable to the hub or switch on your network. If you are using a long length of cable, you may want to label this end of the cable so you can easily identify it in future.

9

Connecting to your Internet Gateway

The Internet Gateway device is totally independent of the

Internet Server allowing you to choose the connection to the Internet which best suits your business. The Internet

Gateway device can connect to your ISP through a permanent or dial up connection.

You can connect to your Internet Gateway in one of two ways:

Ethernet WAN Connection

If your Internet Gateway device has an Ethernet port, you can connect the Internet Server directly to the gateway.

1

2

3

4

If you have not already done so, install your Internet

Gateway following the instructions in the User Guide supplied with it. Check that you can connect to your ISP.

Use one of the Ethernet cables supplied in the box. If this is not long enough, use a length of straight through

CAT5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors at each end.

Connect one end of the cable to the WAN Ethernet Port on the rear of the Internet Server.

Connect the other end of the cable to Ethernet port on your Internet Gateway device. If you are using a long length of cable, you may want to label this end of the cable so you can easily identify it in future.

Serial Port 1

If you are using a dial up connection through a modem or a

Euro ISDN Terminal Adapter, use Serial Port 1 to connect the

Internet Server to your ISP.

1

2

3

If you have not already done so, install your modem following the instructions in the User Guide supplied with it. Check that you can connect to your ISP.

Connect one end of the serial cable supplied with your modem to Serial Port 1.

Connect the other end of the serial cable to the serial port on your modem.

Connecting a Printer

The parallel printer port on the rear panel can be used to connect any printer to the Internet Server using a standard parallel printer cable. The Print Server can then be configured to allow network users access to this printer.

For more information about configuring the Print Server, see the Internet Server User Guide.

For information about installing and setting up your printer, see your printer’s User Guide.

10

Powering on the Internet Server

Setting the Mains Voltage

CAUTION: Before powering on the Internet Server for the first time, ensure that the voltage selector is set to operate correctly with your mains supply.

The Internet Server is shipped with the voltage set to 230V

AC by default. This is suitable for mains supply of 200 to

240V AC.

If your mains power supply provides 90 to 120V AC, you must set the switch to 115V AC on the Internet Server.

Powering On

When you have made all the connections, power on the

Internet Server. When the Internet Server starts, it beeps once. When it has initialized and is ready for use, you will hear 2 short beeps; this takes about three minutes.

The Internet Server starts up with its default settings but cannot be used until you have run the Client Wizard on the

System Administrator PC and the Internet Server Installation

Wizard.

Check that the link LEDs on both end of the LAN connection are lit (see the Internet Server back panel for the LAN

Link LED) and then continue the installation by running the

Client Wizard on the System Administrator PC.

Power Down Procedure

Before powering down the Internet Server you should ensure that all users have disconnected from the Internet

Server.

There are two recommended ways you can power down the

Internet Server:

Using the On/Off Switch — Press the on/off switch and release it immediately. You will hear 2 short beeps to indicate that graceful shutdown has started. After a short while the Internet Server powers off.

Through the Web interface — See the User Guide for instructions on shutting down the Internet Server using the web interface.

CAUTION: Never close down the Internet Server by simply removing the power cable as you risk losing data if you do this.

To prevent loss of data in the event of mains power loss, 3Com recommends that where possible that the

Internet Server is connected to an uninterruptable power supply.

In the event of a major problem, you may be instructed by your Technical Support Representative to carry out an Ungraceful Shutdown. To do this, press the on/off switch for 5 seconds and you will hear 2 short beeps to indicate that ungraceful shutdown has started. The Internet Server powers off immediately.

Configuring the E-mail Server

To enable the e-mail server and configure e-mail delivery, click on the Enable Mail Server checkbox and then follow the steps below.

1

Select the Incoming Mail Server Type. The option you select changes the mailbox configuration options displayed on screen. Check with your ISP which option you should select. The options are:

Multidrop Mailbox Forwarding Select this option if your company has its own domain name at the ISP, such as yourcompany.com

and you have the option of using a multi-drop mail account. This is also known as a

virtual domain.

Enter the details required to configure Multidrop Mailbox Forwarding:

a

Type your Domain Name.

b c

Type the Name Or IP Address Of ISP’s Incoming Mail

Server.

Type the Username of multidrop mailbox at ISP.

Type the Password of multidrop mailbox at ISP.

d e

Go to step 2.

Mirrored Mailboxes — Select this option if

your

ISP can set up a mailbox on their Internet mail server for each user on the Internet Server, (for example, [email protected]

where “myname” is each user’s e-mail account name and “isp.net” is the domain name of your ISP). Your ISP can provide you with as many mailboxes as you need for a nominal monthly charge for each mailbox.

Enter the details required to configure Mirrored Mailboxes:

a

Type the Domain Name.

21

b

Type the Name or IP address of ISP’s incoming mail

server.

c

Go to step 2.

Enhanced SMTP Turn Delivery — Select this option if you have your own domain name at the ISP (such as

yourcompany.com), your ISP supports Enhanced SMTP

Turn Delivery (RFC 1985) and your Internet Server has a static IP address, then you have the option of using this

Internet mail delivery feature.

The Internet Server’s enhanced SMTP Turn Delivery option allows your ISP to queue your incoming mail on their mail server and then automatically forward it to Internet

Server the next time you connect to the Internet. Internet

Server will then forward the e-mail messages to the correct users on your LAN. It does not require you to set up a mailbox at your ISP.

Enter the details required to configure Enhanced SMTP

Turn Delivery.

a b

Type the Domain name.

Type the Name or IP address of ISP’s incoming mail

server.

Go to step 2.

c

Stand-alone SMTP Mail Server — Select this option if you have a permanent connection to the Internet and can operate your own SMTP mail server without storing any mail at your ISP.

Enter the details required to configure a standalone

SMTP Mail Server.

a b

Type your Domain Name.

Go to step 2.

SMTP Mailbagging — Select this option if you have your own domain name at the ISP (such as yourcompany.com), if your ISP supports SMTP Mailbagging, and if your

Internet Server has a static IP address, then you have the option of using this Internet mail delivery feature.

2

SMTP Mailbagging works similarly to Enhanced SMTP

Turn Delivery: your ISP queues your incoming mail on their mail server and then automatically forwards it to

Internet Server the next time you connect to the Internet.

However, instead of using an SMTP command to initiate mail delivery, SMTP Mailbagging uses the Unix “finger” command.

Enter the details required to configure SMTP Mailbagging:

a b c

Type your Domain Name.

Type the Name or IP address of ISP’s incoming mail

server.

Type the Username of Mailbagging mailbox at ISP

Select one of the following Outgoing Mail Options:.

IS delivers outgoing mail directly — Select this option if your ISP does not have SMTP mail server capabilities.

3

4

5

6

7

IS relays mail through ISP’s mail server — Select this option to give your ISP control of delivering e-mail to recipients. This is the recommended method.

Enter the Name or IP address of your ISP’s SMTP mail

server (for example, mail.mymail.net). The outgoing

SMTP mail server is used to send mail to the Internet.

To forward all incoming mail to an SMTP mail server on your network. Select Forward email to the internal SMTP

mail server at IP address check box and enter the IP address of the SMTP server.

If you chose Multi-drop Mailbox Forwarding as your

Incoming Mail Server Type, and your ISP uses a custom header to specify mail recipients, enter the Custom

Addressee Identification Field. This field is only necessary if specified by your ISP.

If you chose Multi-drop Mailbox Forwarding as your

Incoming Mail Server Type, and your ISP uses an alias IP address or hostname in the Received line to specify mail recipients, enter the IP address or hostname in the ISP

Mail Server Alias text box. This field is only necessary if specified by your ISP. For example, some ISPs require an alias such as mailstore or mailbox to be entered in this field.

When you have completed the e-mail configuration, click on Next to proceed to the ISP Diagnostics screen.

22

Checking the Connection to the ISP

The Internet Server Installation Wizard runs a test to check that you can connect to your ISP and to the Internet.

23

What to do Next

Once you have run the Internet Server Installation Wizard, you will need to do the following:

Configure Users — Create user accounts for all network clients on the Internet Server. See Chapter 2 of the

Internet Server User Guide for more information.

Run the Client Wizard — Run the wizard on any PCs on your network that do not have a web browser or e-mail client. This wizard also installs help files for the user.

Set up IP configuration on your PCs — The simplest way to configure the PCs is to ensure that they obtain their IP configuration automatically by enabling the DHCP server on the Internet Server. Also check that your PC is set for automatic IP addressing. To do this, select

Network from the Control Panel and set the TCP/IP

Properties for your Ethernet adapter. Ensure that the

Obtain an IP address automatically radio button is selected as shown in the illustration overleaf.

The following tables can be used to help set up the Internet

Server into various network configurations. Network configurations can use either Dynamic or Static addressing schemes.

Dynamic indicates that there is a DHCP server on the network which issues IP addresses to the client PCs.

Static indicates that static addresses should be used throughout.

The Dynamic scheme is recommended for ease of use, where the PCs on the network are configured as DHCP clients. It is recommended that any servers on the network are given static addresses. In the case where the Internet

Server is being used as a DHCP Server on the LAN network and the Internet Gateway is a DHCP server on the WAN side, then factory defaults can be used.

Factory defaults for the Internet Server, for example if the 3Com OfficeConnect Lan

Modem is used. If the Internet Gateway is a

DHCP server, it will issue an IP address to the

WAN side of the Internet Server

Factory defaults for the Internet Gateway LAN port, but with the Internet Gateway DHCP server disabled. The Internet Server WAN port

IP address needs to be set up manually to use a static address. See the Static Address rules below

Connection to ISP via Modem or Euro-ISDN:

IP addressing scheme

Dynamic

Recommended IP addresses

Static

Dial out: The address of the Internet Server is obtained automatically from the ISP.

Dial in: The remote PC is treated as if connected to the LAN side. See “LAN Side” table.

A static address is obtained from your ISP.

Static Address Rules

When choosing static addresses, you must ensure that the addresses meet the following requirements:

The IP address of the Internet Server WAN port, must be on the same subnet as the Internet Gateway device. For example, if the Internet Server is connected to the ISP via an Internet Gateway, the IP address of the Internet Server

WAN port must be on the same subnet as the Internet

Gateway LAN port.

The Internet Server’s gateway and DNS server IP addresses must be set to the IP address of the connected

Internet Gateway IP address.

The IP address must not clash with any other IP address on the network, or with the DHCP range of any DHCP server on the network.

29

LAN Side IP address

Use the tables that follow to determine the IP addressing scheme for the LAN port.

New LAN or existing network without IP address:

Recommended IP addresses

Static

Factory defaults for the Internet Server

(default IP address: 192.168.10.1) Configure PCs on the LAN as DHCP clients and use the Internet Server as a DHCP server.

Network devices that need static IP address must use an IP address in the range

192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.9.

Factory defaults for the Internet Server, but with the DHCP server disabled. Configure all network devices with a static IP addresses in the range 192.168.10.2 to

Network devices that need static IP address must use an IP address in the range

192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.9.

Disable the DHCP server in the Internet

Server. Choose a static IP address for the

Internet Server, on the same subnet as the existing LAN. Configure the existing DHCP server to provide the default Gateway and

DNS server settings of the Internet Server to the PC clients.
