Connection Control

NT/MPRI – 1 Introduction 16

Connection Control

Generally ISDN connections are established automatically on the ser-

vice channel when resources of the remote site are accessed. If need-

ed, connections can be established and cleared automatically from the

NT/MPRI interface.

The connection control also presents detailed information about the

logical ISDN connections currently active and the negotiated connec-

tion parameters.

The CICC.EXE program which runs on the same computer as the

NT/MPRI allows batch-controlled IP or IPX connections to be estab-

lished in order to realize dial-around scenarios.

Routing and Remote Access API

Routing and Remote Access API by AVM is a programming interface and

allows the NT/MPRI to be controlled through software. This means that

certain tasks or processes can be combined with functions of the

NT/MPRI and automated. Examples include the definition of dial-

around routines for the automatic transfer of database updates to

branch offices at the most economic rates or the integration of addi-

tional security mechanisms like chip cards and thus intervention into

PPP authentication.

Comprehensive additional information about using the API (test pro-

grams including source and libraries) is available on the CD in the fold-

er UTILS\API\AVMNWAPI.

Crypt Provider API

Crypt Provider API is a programming interface for user-specific adapta-

tion of data encoding. The codes used to encrypt the data to be trans-

mitted are generated anew and transferred to the remote site each

time a connection is established. For security reasons these codes

must be transmitted in encrypted form. The encryption is performed by

Crypt Provider, which is programmed specifically for each application

(Smart Card, PIN, Biometrie, etc.). Crypt Provider API is the interface to

the NT/MPRI which accesses the algorithms in the Crypt Provider.

Comprehensive additional information about using the Crypt Provider

API (test programs including source and libraries) is available on the

CD in the folder UTILS\API\AVMNWAPI.
