Server
The AVM Access Server seamlessly connects remote users and net-
works in the company’s communication processes. This means that
telecommuters, mobile employees in the field, branch offices and sub-
sidiaries can use the company LAN’s applications and resources from
wherever they are. The connection can be a direct ISDN or GSM dial-up
link, or a virtual privaten network (VPN) carried over the Internet.
The AVM Access Server also acts as a professional router, connecting
the local network to the Internet over ADSL or ISDN. The AVM Access
Server’s design as a software router ensures optimum scalability
through two product variants, and support for up to four active AVM
ISDN-Controllers and any number of network interfaces. Moreover, fu-
ture technological advances can be added by simple software updates.
1.1 The AVM Access Server Connects
In modern corporate communications, interconnecting geographically
separate LANs into a company-wide WAN (wide-area network) is in-
creasingly important, as is providing access to the Internet. Connecting
employees in the field, telecommuters, service technicians and smaller
branch offices without their own LANs is an urgent task that many com-
panies face. The AVM Access Server provides you with a powerful tool
for this purpose.
The AVM Access Server allows you to combine networks over ISDN or
VPN links; connect Windows XP, 2000 and NT networks with other
TCP/IP networks over ISDN; provide access to the Internet over ISDN
and ADSL; and connect remote PCs and mobile notebooks to your com-
pany’s network over ISDN or GSM.
