Frequently Asked Questions
Question: The network connection is functioning, but nothing is
displayed in the browser.
Enter the complete IP address of the Forum 523/524 along with
the protocol identifier, for example http://192.168.99.254/.
Check whether the browser has been configured for connection
through a proxy server. If so, deactivate the “Connect through
proxy server” setting.
Question: You have just configured the Forum 523/524 via the
network. Why is it not possible now to establish a remote data
transfer network connection?
The network card and the communication (remote data transfer)
adapter cannot be run with the same routing setting. Deactivate
the network card before connecting via the dial-up network.
Question: Our network has grown over time, with several
segments connected by one central router. How can PCs from all
segments connect to the Forum 523/524?
If several routers are configured for your network in different seg-
ments, you can enter extra static routes in the Network: Routes
menu.
Question: In our network the Forum 523/524 dynamically issues
the IP addresses by DHCP. Can I firmly assign the IP address for
our internal server PCs (mail, Web)?
You need a static address assignment for these PCs. Make the
appropriate host assignment entries in the Configurator (Net-
work: Hosts menu). Create a static DHCP entry for each host
assignment in the Network: DHCP menu. Activate “Dynamic and
static address” for the DHCP server.
