Routing: Line connection and management
The router checks all data on the network to determine whether they have to
be sent to another network or computer. If data transfer is necessary, the
router establishes the connection itself and closes the connection once the
transfer is complete. Any partly used call charge units are used up fully if call
charge information is transmitted during the connection.
To reduce transfer costs, the router offers various filter options depending on
the mode of operation. These filters can be used to exclude data from being
tranmitted to all or part of the network. Data that belongs to specific services
(e.g. printing services) can also be excluded from transfer.
NetBIOS proxy
ELSA routers offer a special feature for the interconnection of Microsoft
peer-to-peer networks. With the integrated routing of IP NetBIOS packets,
the linking of Windows networks becomes child's play. The remote stations
relevant for the exchange of data are entered in a list to ensure that not every
NetBIOS packet results in the establishment of a connection.
As a NetBIOS proxy, the router answers the queries for known workstations
locally to prevent unnecessary connections from being established.
Accounting
Most data transfers through the ELSA router take place via dial-up connec-
tions, where the charges are calculated based on the online time, or via static
connections, where the charges are calculated based on the transferred data
volume. Only a small portion of users use true leased-line connections with
flat-rate charging.
For many users it is important to determine which of the immediate LAN com-
puters use the connection to the router and what charges they incur.
With its accounting feature, ELSA LANCOM Wireless IL-11 offers the ability
to breakdown online times and data transfer volumes for ISDN and DSL con-
nections based on the individual computers that use the connections. This
allows you to determine the incorrect configuration of the computer or router
quickly and allocate the resulting expenses to their appropriate causes.
