OpenCom 510 in a LAN with an IP-enabled Server
In a LAN with an IP-enabled server, you should coordinate integration of the OpenCom 510 with the responsible network administrator. You must decide on the IP address space to be used and which network services
(DHCP, DNS, RAS, Internet access) the OpenCom 510 is to handle in the
LAN.
In networks in which the TCP/IP settings are made manually, you have to enter the corresponding TCP/IP settings in the OpenCom 510 Con-
figurator (NET Configuration: Easy
Access menu). Here the
OpenCom 510 acts as the DHCP server. A workstation requesting the
TCP/IP settings via DHCP then receives the settings you made in the
Configurator.

The OpenCom 510 in a LAN with an
IP-enabled server
In many cases, an IP-enabled server configures the TCP/IP settings via
DHCP for all workstations. On starting, the OpenCom 510 requests TCP/
IP settings via DHCP. If this request is responded to, the OpenCom 510 uses the TCP/IP settings received.
You can then use a workstation to access the OpenCom 510 Configura-
tor under the IP address assigned by the server.
DNS Name Resolution
In a LAN with an IP-enabled server, the latter is also responsible for DNS name resolution. If you want to start the Configurator by entering a DNS name, you must link this name on the server with the IP address used by the OpenCom 510. For further information, refer to the server documentation.
Note: To access the OpenCom 510
under the same IP address after a restart, you must specify this IP address permanently on a DHCP server. On a
DHCP server it is possible to link the
MAC address of a network card with a specific IP address. You will find details in the server documentation.
