IP Applications: Web Browsing, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News and Others
Single IP allows the use of any Web browser, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer, to access the World-Wide
Web. Refer to the list below for some of the types of Internet and Intranet access supported by Single IP:
• World Wide Web browsing.
• E-mail.
• FTP client.
• News reader.
• Telnet client.
• Ping (outbound).
Single IP supports any SOCKS-compatible client application (for example, Netscape). Access to FTP within
Netscape, Gopher access, and access to secure servers is also supported. POP3 clients (for example, Eudora,
Pegasus mail, Microsoft Exchange) and other e-mail packages and news readers are allowed access to e-mail
servers through Single IP e-mail support.
Single IP allows use of FTP client applications that support the username@hostname method of firewall
crossing; for example, WS_FTP, CuteFTP, and command-line FTP clients. Connection through another firewall
using the same mechanism is also allowed.
1.3 Solid Firewall
The Solid Firewall feature prevents access from the Internet/Intranet into the small-office LAN. This feature
makes the small-office LAN invisible to outside users. The Solid Firewall feature is a simple and foolproof way of
protecting security sensitive small offices (for example, doctors and lawyers) from Internet hackers. Refer to
Chapter 4
for more information about the Firewall.

• Supports bridging.
• Supports IP, IPX, and IP+IPX routing.
• Supports Single IP feature (IP Address Translation) which allows a user to connect to the Internet/Intranet.

Chapter 5
.
• PPP multi-link support enables maximum utilization of ISDN lines. Refer to
Chapter 5
.

Chapter 5
.
• Integral Frame Relay operating at data rates up to T1. Refer to
Chapter 5
.
• Supports 4-wire, asynchronous, synchronous, ISDN and CSU/DSU WAN interfaces.
