Connecting to the Server
48 Perle 833IS User Guide
4. Enter the IP address of the Server in the IP Address field.
5. Click on Add.
The 833IS is now defined to the Manager. When the Manager connects via IP, it will
check for the defined Servers.
If you are using Domain Name Servers (DNS) on the Manager PC, you can enter the
name of the 833IS. The Manager will resolve this name to an IP Address.
Troubleshooting The 833IS will appear in the Server list if the 833IS is correctly connected. See
“Completing the Connection” on page 49 for details.
If the 833IS does not appear in the Server List:
■
The link LED on the Ethernet or Token Ring card will flash if the physical
connection is OK. If this does not flash, check the 833IS LAN cable and the
connection to the Ethernet hub or Token Ring MAU.
■
Verify your client protocol configuration. If your PC can see other file and print
servers on the network, the protocol configuration is likely OK.
■
If you are connecting via IP and must pass through one or more routers to
communicate with the server, verify that a Gateway address has been configured
on the PC’s LAN adapter. This Gateway address should be the address of the
router that is on the same LAN segment as the Management PC.
Dial-In
Connection
To establish a Dial-In Connection:
1. Install the Manager on your PC.
2. Using your Dial-up Client, set up a dial-up Network connection:
■
Enable either IP or IPX.
■
If you are using an IP connection, your client requires an IP address. Most
clients provide the option to configure the IP address in the Client, or use an
IP address supplied by the Server. If you have disabled "Allow client
specified IP addresses" in the 833IS configuration, set the IP address
supplied by the Server. See “Allow Client Specified IP Addresses” on page
96.
■
Use the highest baud rate supported by your modem and serial port.
3. Set up your modem or ISDN interface.
4. Start up the Dial-up session. Enter the User ID and Password for the Server.
The dial-up connect sequence should start.
