As a matter of fact, wherever computers need to be joined together and a simple modem
operation no longer fits the bill. Here are some example applications:
쮿
Internet on the LAN
Many companies are experiencing an increasing demand for Internet access from
all workstations on the LAN. Online research, file transfer and e-mail are just some
of the applications intended to lighten the workload of those working at a PC.
The router links all the workstation computers on your local area network to the
global Internet. Security features such as IP masquerading not only save you money
but also shield your network against access from outside.
쮿
LAN to LAN coupling
When business is going well, the time eventually comes for a sister company or
subsidiary to be established in the global markets. Of course, the branch office, too,
has its own network and must to be kept up-to-date.
LAN to LAN coupling links the individual LANs to form one large network, even if
this means crossing continents. When connecting via a dial-up connection, an
intelligent line management function together with sophisticated filter mechanisms
keeps connections costs low. Of course, it is also possible to operate a combination
of leased lines and dial-up connections.
쮿
Teleworking using remote access
The work of many office workers in modern organizations is less and less dependent
on any definite location—the most important factor here is unimpaired access to
shared and freely available information.
Remote access is the key to this. The router on the local network at the head office
enables colleagues to telecommute from their home offices and traveling staff to
access the office while on the road. The
ELSA LANCOM naturally also does
everything necessary to protect the company's data holdings during remote access:
the callback function uses the names and call numbers entered to provide access
to specified users only. And telephone charges are calculated at head office,
simplifying the billing process.
쮿
Office communications using
LANCAPI
Faxing directly from within applications, voice mail with different announcements
according to the time of day, banking without having to leave the office: These
functions are made possible by using the
LANCAPI.
LANCAPI
is a special form of the CAPI 2.0 interface that applications such as
ELSA-
RVS-COM or ELSA-ZOC can use to access the router.
