Uses of the AVM Access Server
The AVM Access Server interconnects geographically separate net-
works. In this way central LAN resources, such as servers, mainframes
or databases, are available in subsidiary locations and small branch
offices as well. The AVM Access Server has the advantage of handling
all the necessary routing activities such as line control automatically,
so that no additional tasks are placed on the employees in the branch
location.
Conversely, users in the head office can also access the LANs in the
other locations, to perform network administration or database up-
dates, for example.
The AVM Access Server allows you to connect remote PCs and mobile
notebooks to your company’s network over ISDN or GSM. Remote users
