Chapter 1. Introduction to 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module
About settings in 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module
3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module uses two sets of Telecommuting Module config-
urations: preliminary and permanent configuration. The permanent configuration is what
is used in the active Telecommuting Module. The preliminary configuration is where you
change and set the configuration. See chapter 3, Configuring 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting
Module, for instructions.
The changes you make in the preliminary configuration are not stored in the permanent
configuration until you click on Apply configuration on the Save/Load Configuration
page under Administration.
The password configuration and time setting are the exceptions to this rule; they are saved
immediately. Change the administrator passwords and create more administrator users on
the User Administration page under Administration.
3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module displays serious errors in red, e.g., if mandatory
information is not entered. Blank fields are shown in red. Fields that you correct remain red
until you select Save, Add new rows or update the page in some other way.
If you have a web connection with the Telecommuting Module that is inactive for 10 min-
utes, it will ask for a password again.
Always log out from the Telecommuting Module administration interface when you are not
using it. Press the Log out button on the left to log out.
The terms used in the book are explained in appendix D, Definitions of Terms.
For a general description of how to configure and administer the Telecommuting Module,
see chapter 3, Configuring 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module.
