Chapter 14. Basic Administration
Basic configuration
Use Basic configuration to give the Telecommuting Module a start configuration. You can
assign an IP address to it (for the web GUI), enter the IP addresses of computers allowed to
connect to the web GUI and change the administrator password.
Wherever you can enter a value, there will be a default one in brackets, which is the current
value. Press Return to select the default value. This is an easy way to fast-forward if you
only want to change one of the parameters.
IP address
Give the Telecommuting Module an IP address. The IP address will be added to any ad-
dresses already configured on the Telecommuting Module. The IP address entered here is
the one that should be used to access the web GUI.
Basic unit installation program version 4.6.5
Press return to keep the default value
Network configuration inside:
Physical device name[eth0]:
IP address [0.0.0.0]: 10.47.2.242
Netmask/bits [255.255.255.0]: 255.255.0.0
Deactivate other interfaces? (y/n) [n]
Physical device name
Select which interface should get the IP address. The interfaces are named as on the exterior
of the Telecommuting Module, such as eth0 and eth1.
IP address
Enter the IP address for the Telecommuting Module on the interface above. If the Telecom-
muting Module didn’t have an IP address before, the default address will be 0.0.0.0. Enter a
different address, or the Telecommuting Module will be unreachable via the web GUI.
Netmask/bits
At Netmask/bits, enter the netmask for the network to which the IP address above belongs.
The netmask can be written as an IP address or a number of bits (see also chapter 3, Config-
uring 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module).
Deactivate other interfaces
If the Telecommuting Module has been used one or more interfaces are active. Select here if
all interfaces but the one selected above should be deactivated. You can activate them again
via the web GUI.
