Network Address Translation
Ascend’s Secure Access Solution
Pipeline 50, 75, 85, 130 and 220 users no longer need to
pay for a dedicated IP address with the Network Address
Translation (NAT) capability. When a Pipeline user connects
to the Internet or any other IP network, a network address
is transparently assigned to the user for the duration of the
connection session. And when NAT is used in conjunction
with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) spoofing,
IP address management becomes a breeze. Network
managers can configure and dynamically assign IP
addresses to multiple workstations on the remote office
LAN in one easy step.
Java-Based Pipeline Configurator
The Java-based Pipeline Configurator (JBPC) is a Graphical
User Interface (GUI) that lets Pipeline users configure, save
and restore the Pipeline 25-Px, 25-Fx, 50, 75 and 85 configura-
tions from a PC or Macintosh over an Ethernet LAN connection.
It is included free of charge on the Pipeline Companion CD-ROM
or you can download select portions via anonymous FTP at
ftp://ftp.ascend.com/pub/Software-Releases/pl_cdrom.
The JBPC offers a comprehensive QuickStart utility designed
to get users up and running in less than 15 minutes. This
utility guides users through the application and features
complete HTML-based, on-line help. Because the JBPC runs
over Ethernet, it eliminates the need for a serial cable, a
VT100 terminal or terminal emulation software.
Manage remote locations as if they were
part of the central site
Remote management capabilities reduce the cost of
installation and ongoing support by enabling network
managers to monitor and troubleshoot remote user
problems directly from the central site.
