Network Address Translation

Ascend SecureConnect Solution

Pipeline 85 users can avoid paying 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 can be

transparently assigned to the user for the duration of the

connection session. And when NAT is used in conjunction

with the 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 is a graphical

user interface that lets Pipeline users configure,

save, and restore the Pipeline 85 configuration 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 via anonymous ftp at

ftp://ftp.ascend.com/pub/Software-Releases/PL_CDROM/.

The configurator offers a comprehensive QuickStart utility

designed to get users up and running in less than 15 minutes.

This utility guides them through the application and features

complete HTML-based, online help. Because the configurator

runs over Ethernet, it eliminates the need for a serial cable,

VT-100 terminal, or terminal emulation software.

• Patented Ascend Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation

™

saves money by increasing/decreasing bandwidth as

needed for the duration of your connection

• Integrated idle timer allows Pipeline users to remain

connected without paying for telecommunications

resources when they aren’t being used

• Network Address Translation (NAT) eliminates the

need to pay for a dedicated TCP/IP address by allowing

the Pipeline to accept a dynamically assigned address

(from a central-site pool of addresses)

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

spoofing allows network managers to configure and

dynamically assign IP addresses across multiple

clients from the Pipeline

• Data compression that boosts throughput up to

512 Kbps to handle bandwidth-intensive files

Flexible remote management capabilities

provide centralized control

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.

• Telnet remote management

• Ascend Remote Management protocol

• Call Detail Reporting (CDR)

• Flash memory for easy software upgrades

• IP, IPX, and AppleTalk routing

• BCP standard multiprotocol bridging

• PPP, Multilink PPP (MP), Multilink Protocol Plus
