Abstract

The invention describes a means to configure and run diagnostics on a gateway, e.g. a modem, network for configuration IP-connectivity (Internet Protocol connectivity) for managing network communication via a local network (LAN) via a gateway to a particular wide area network, such as an Ethernet. In routed modes there are different subnets on LAN (Local area network) and WAN (Wide Area Network) side. The invention is also applicable on bridged modes. The gateway is provided with a fixed IP-address. A program is inserted in the workstation adapted to provide settings in the gateway adapted for communication with the particular wide area network.

Description

Be used for work station is connected to the method and apparatus of wide area network
Technical field
The present invention relates to work station is connected to the method and apparatus of described work station with the given wide-area net that is assigned to by gateway.
Background technology
When will be for example when the such gateway of modulator-demodulator is connected in the computer that does not possess IP connectivity (hereinafter referred to as work station) of PC, MAC or other type, existing problems.For configuration and operational diagnostics on gateway, just must have IP connectivity, so that manage communicating by letter between modulator-demodulator (=gateway) and the work station.Most of users do not have the experience of configuration network, and this can cause falling flat of very important gateway configuration usually.
Summary of the invention
The invention discloses on gateway the device of configuration and operational diagnostics, thereby for be established to the communication configuration of IP connectedness (internet protocol connectivity) of the given wide-area net such as Ethernet via local area network (LAN) and gateway.
Under route pattern, there is different subnets with WAN (wide area network) end at LAN (local area network (LAN)) end.The present invention also is applied in network bridge mode.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 has represented to have work station, modulator-demodulator (gateway) and such as first embodiment of the network architecture of the particular network of Ethernet etc.
Fig. 2 has represented second embodiment according to network architecture of the present invention.
In the reason, for example the gateway of ADSL Modem (ADSL=asynchronous digital subscriber line) serves as the gateway between work station and the given wide-area net herein.
Embodiment
Now,, will be connected to gateway 2 such as the workstation1 of personal computer (PC) such as modulator-demodulator in order to be connected to specific wide area network 3 referring to Fig. 1.Specific wide area network 3 can be any one particular network that special services can be provided to following client, and described client subscribes their service.
An example of above-mentioned network provides by tele2.
The invention provides as lower device, described device solves is not comprising mutual and the problem during via gateway 2 visit given wide-area nets 3 of Any user.This just means and might come h.323-configured gateway 2 and can obtain state information from wide area network 3 via gateway 2 with minimum user intervention under the situation that is independent of the residing pattern of gateway 2 operations.
When between workstation1 and gateway 2, local area network (LAN) being installed, provide an in house software program to workstation1, described in house software program only is used under beginning and/or layoutprocedure.The first dedicated fixed IP address is provided for gateway 2, attachment station 1 uses described IP address for the purpose of described foundation, and the 2nd IP address (only can be identical with described fixed address under route pattern) is provided for gateway 2, described the 2nd IP address is used to set up and the communicating by letter of given wide-area net 3.Thereby after setting up the beginning order, the burst process is inactive under proper communication.Disturb if certain can take place after a while, then workstation1 just restarts identical beginning process.
Sometimes, the keeper of wide area network 3 upgrades the communication feature of network.Subsequently, wide area network can send to the reservation workstation1 with this updated information with described network.Then, workstation1 is collected the NEW BEGINNING program from wide area network 3.
Workstation1 restarts process at the beginning, to use new being provided with gateway 2 is installed.
Software program in the workstation1 can be upgraded to the software in the gateway 2, and can also obtain state information from gateway 2.Also can provide such process automatically, and carry out any operation without the user of workstation1.
In the middle of second embodiment as shown in Figure 2, can with the more than one work station in the middle of the Local Area Network (1.1,1.2 ... 1.N) be connected on the gateway 2.Provide actual software program to the work station of each connection, the work station of each connection all has the device of the local area network (LAN) that is used to be mounted to gateway 2 like this.Finish after the fitting operation, and each work station (1.1,1.2 ... 1.N) just can both communicate by letter with specific wide area network 3.
Network bridge mode (ERIDGED MODE)
When operation modulator-demodulator under network bridge mode, in described modulator-demodulator, there is not real IP layer.Communication just is positioned on the ethernet layer.
Even can assign the IP number to gateway modem, people do not know to assign which network to workstation1 yet, this depends on the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server (DHCP=DHCP) that is positioned on the ISP end (ISP=ISP), even perhaps workstation1 has the fixed address of appointment, people do not know to give on same subnet described modulator-demodulator to assign an address yet.
Gateway 2 according to the present invention has the fixedly private ip address of appointment, even not on same subnet, gateway 2 also usually responds described IP address.Utilize the method, can use generic browser, and connect in gateway 2 and be configured or the like.
When utilizing FTP (FTP=file transfer protocol (FTP)), HTTP (HTTP=HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)) and TFTP (TFTP=trivial file transfer protocol) to come the software in the work station (1) upgraded, can use fixing special number.One of configuration only can be carried out from the local area network (LAN) end with software upgrading, that is, workstation1 or work station (1.1,1.2 ... 1.N).
1.IP number is generally from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server on the ISP end.If gateway 1 (modulator-demodulator) is not configured, then just can't carry out work, and workstation1 (PC) can't obtain the IP address to the connection of given wide-area net 3.If have implicit IP connectivity, then can utilize fixing special I P number to connect described gateway in any case, and then it is configured again, so that the connection of given wide-area net 3 is able to work.
2. the user needn't change any setting in order to interrelate with gateway 2 in the workstation1.If workstation1 does not have on subnet and gateway or the same fixed ip address of ISP end, it can also be worked so.
3. the user needn't remember the IP number of gateway 2.
4. for the gateway of all this type, the fixedly special I P number that is used for getting in touch gateway 2 all is identical usually.This makes and becomes easier for gateway provides configuration and administrator tool.
Route pattern
Under route pattern, on specific local network (LAN) end and given wide-area net end, there is different subnets.On same subnet, obtain gateway and workstation1 or 1.1,1.2 ... 1.N remains a problem.Under this pattern, also can use the solution of implicit IP connectivity.Use its beneficial effect, be described in the above.2nd, 3 and 4 are suitable for route pattern.
