Pre Installation Information

The @V1800 has to be setup p roperly on your network to perform email
and fax forwarding functions. The following network parameters have to
be set. For required information and LAN connection, please contact your
network administrator.

Important !

Make a copy of the following table and ask your Network Administrator
to complete the information.

1. *IP Address: . . .

2. *Net Mask: . . .

3. *Gateway IP : . . .

4. *SMTP Server: . . .

5. SMTP Port 25 (default)

6. DNS Server: . . .

Note: “*” requests an IP address you must fill.

Explanation of contents:

1. *IP Address: The Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to

your machine by your network administrator.

2. Subnet Mask:

3. Gateway IP: The gateway IP address assigned by your network

4. *SMTP Server:

5. SMTP Port:

6. DNS Server: The IP address of your *DNS server.

The net mask address assigned by your network
administrator.

administrator.
The IP address of your SMTP Mail Server assigned

by your network administrator.
The port number for SMTP connection.

@V1800 User’s Manual Getting Started 1-9

Note:

1. *IP Address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely identifies

a host connection to an IP network. System administrator or
network designer assigns the IP address. The IP address consists
of two parts, one identifying the network and the one identifying
your node.

The IP address is usually written as four numbers separated by
period. Each number can be zero to 255. For example,

10.1.30.186 could be an IP address.

2. *SMTP: Stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is the main

communication protocol used to send and receive email on the
Internet.

3. *SMTP Port: This setting defines the TCP/IP port for incoming mail.

By default, this setting uses port 25 that is the Internet standard for
receiving SMTP mail. If your SMTP server listens on a non -standard
port, change this value accordingly.

4. *DNS: Short for Domain Name Service, an internet service that

translates domain names into IP addresses. Every time you use a
domain name, a DNS service must translate the name into the
corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name
www.examle.com might translate to 198.105.232.4.

Ethernet is a standard for connecting computers into a local area network
(LAN). The most common form of Ethernet is called 10BaseT, which
denotes a peak transmission speed of 10 mbps using copper twisted-pair
cable.

Gateway

An interface that connects two different networks (a LAN can be
connected to the Internet through some kind of gateway.)

Hub

This chunk of hardware is used to network computers together (usually
over an Ethernet connection). It serves as a common wiring point so that
information can flow through one central location to any other computer
on the net work.

IP Address

Internet Protocol Address – every computer on the Internet has a unique
identifying number, like 191.2.24.2

LAN

Local Area Network – a network of computers installed within a small area,
such as an office building.

Modem (MOdulator, DEModulator)

A device that you connect to your computer & to a phone line, that allows
the computer to talk to other computer through the phone system.
Basically, modems do for computers what a telephone does for a human.

Network

Groups of computer that are connected together so that they can share
resources and exchange data.

Node

Any server connected to the Internet.

POP

Post Office Protocol – Internet protocol used by your ISP to handle emails
for its subscribers. A POP account is just a synonym for an email account.

Protocol

A set of rules and conventions that describes the behaviors that computer
must follow in order to understand each other.

Router

A piece of equipment which connect two or more networks.

SMTP

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol – a main protocol to send and receive email
between servers on the Internet.

SMTP Port

This setting defines the TCP/IP port for incoming mail. By default, this
setting uses port 25 that is the Internet standard for receiving SMTP mail.
If your SMTP server listens on a non-standard port, change this value
accordingly.

f

Subnet mask

A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP
address has two components, the network address and the host address.
For example, consider the IP address 150.215.017.009. Assuming this is
part of a Class B network, the first two numbers (150.215) represent the
Class B network address, and the second two numbers (017.009) identify a
particular host on this network.

TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol – a suite of communication
protocol that defines the basic working of the Internet. In fact, TCP/IP is
the protocol of the Internet because it’s the language by which all Internet
computers talk to each other.
