Examples: Network configuration

This section describes two possible configurations:
1. A stand-alone local area network
2. A large company network.
Local area network
A small stand-alone network is the easiest option.
!
Important
As no "hub" is used, you will need a special twisted-pair cable for the point-to-
point connection.
Select for DHCP: "Yes", the IP address, subnet mask and gateway data are
transmitted and displayed automatically via a DHCP server. These data cannot be
overwritten.
You have to enter the computer name and DNS domain manually.
Select for DHCP: "No", because no server exists, for example, you have to
determine and enter the data yourself.
For stand-alone local area networks, RFC 1597 provides for three address ranges
so that there are no conflicts while using the Internet at the same time:
10.0.0.0
172.16.0.0
192.168.0.0
The IP addresses for small networks should be selected from these ranges.
Company network
Since the company network already exists, you will need to ask the administrator
for the settings and addresses.
A fixed IP address is used to address the company network. You will need to ask
your administrator for an IP address for each NCU.
The computer name is also provided by the network administrator and corresponds
to the IP address that is set.
Further, it is necessary to have the correct subnet mask for the network and a
default gateway (router).
If you intend to use a DNS server, you will also need its IP address and the DNS
domain.
