Chapter 3
HTTP (Help)
HTTP is the protocol used by the World Wide Web. The server-based user help for
the terminal is distributed as a tree of HTTP links and is on the installation CD.
Terminal help can be installed on a WWW server, but because of network traffic or
your configuration, it may be more desirable to configure a local HTTP server and
install the help tree there. HTTP configuration is based upon the HTTP server
software used, so refer to the installation documents that come with the HTTP
software you are installing. There are no special requirements for using the help
subsystem.
Serial Internet Connections
DNS routing has to be through either the terminal’s serial port (
Select | System |
Setup | Connectivity | Serial Internet
) or the Ethernet 10/100 Base-T connection
(
Select | System | Setup | Connectivity | Internet
), not both. The resolver does
not look up more than one domain. Linux requires that DNS be set up before
working with SLIP/CSLIP or PPP. It will not accept the DNS information from the
DNS server, so you must manually enter this in the DNS dialog section of the
Serial Internet
dialog box or
Internet
dialog box if you intend to use the PPP
server’s DNS.
PPP
PPP stands for Point-to-Point Protocol and is a standard serial line Internet
protocol. Instructions for configuring the PPP server are best left to the
documentation associated with the server, but the following restrictions apply to the
client-side implementation for the terminal: Microsoft Windows NT RAS can be set
up to use a variant of CHAP (Challenge/Handshake Authentication Protocol); the
PPP connection will not work with this.
SLIP
SLIP stands for Serial Line Internet Protocol and is another standard serial line
Internet protocol. It is does not provide error detection or retransmission services
and does not compress data. Refer to the server documentation for configuration of
the SLIP server. On the terminal, the host name and server name
must
correspond
to entries in the host table.
