10 NetWAYS/ISDN – 1 Welcome to NetWAYS/ISDN
Interoperability
At the LAN end, the AVM Access Server is an especially ad-
vantageous dial-in point for remote access with
NetWAYS/ISDN.
In addition, NetWAYS/ISDN guarantees interoperability with
remote access servers that support the PPP over ISDN stan-
dard. NetWAYS/ISDN users will find this standard ensures
convenient connections to Internet Service Providers.
NetWAYS/ISDN not only processes the IP protocols, but also
transmits IPX protocol packets directly over PPP. PPP authen-
tication is fully supported in accordance with PAP and CHAP.
The interoperability standard PPP over ISDN is defined in the
Internet standards documents, or RFCs (Requests for Com-
ments). The RFCs supported by NetWAYS/ISDN are listed in
the chapter “NetWAYS/ISDN for Administrators” from
page 46. These techniques are integrated both in
NetWAYS/ISDN and in the AVM Access Server.
Logs and Use Statistics
Comprehensive logs and use statistics provides detailed in-
formation about current and past connections at any time,
permitting precise analysis of all NetWAYS/ISDN activities.
Easy to Install and Configure
NetWAYS/ISDN is easy to install with the help of a Setup Wiz-
ard. Furthermore, administrators can prepare an automatic
installation process to integrate pre-defined locations and
call destinations in the program without configuration by the
user.
NetWAYS/ISDN can also be configured to activate a network
connection automatically when the computer starts, with no
user interaction. The graphic user interface of
NetWAYS/ISDN makes operation intuitive. Furthermore, cus-
tom applications are also possible thanks to a documented
application programming interface (API). For details about
the API integrated in NetWAYS/ISDN, see the chapter
“NetWAYS/ISDN for Administrators” from page 46.
