Select the 'Install LANCOM software' entry.
햴
Highlight the 'ELSA LANCAPI' option. Click
Next
and follow the instructions for the
installation routine.
If necessary, the system is restarted and
LANCAPI is then ready to accept all jobs from
the office communications software. After successful installation, an icon for
LANCAPI
will be available in the Start Menu. A double-click on this icon opens a status window
that permits current information on the
LANCAPI to be displayed at any time.
Configuring the
LANCAPI client
The configuration of the
LANCAPI client is used to determine which LANCAPI servers will
be used and how these will be checked. All parameters can remain at their default
settings if you are using only one
ELSA LANCOM Wireless in your LAN as a LANCAPI
server.
햲
Start the
LANCAPI client in the 'ELSAlan' program group. Information regarding the
drivers for the available service can be found on the 'General' tab.
햳
Switch to the 'LANCAPI Server' tab. First, select whether the PC should find its own
LANCAPI server, or specify the use of a particular server.
– For the former, determine the interval at which the client should search for a
server. It will continue searching until it has found the number of servers
specified in the next field. Once the required number of servers has been found,
it will stop searching.
– In the event that the client should not automatically search for servers, list the IP
addresses of the servers to be used by the client. This can be useful if you are
operating several
ELSA LANCOM Wireless in your LAN as LANCAPI servers and
you would like to specify a server for a group of PCs, for example.
