Overview
Eiconcard Connections for Windows extends wide-area networking (WAN) capabilities for
Microsoft Windows, and Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) applications.
Technical Highlights
Routing Services
Eiconcard Networks Routing Services extends Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service
(RRAS) for use with the Eiconcard Routing Services (LAN emulation), X.25 and ISDN WAN
Miniport Eiconcard drivers.
Routing Services supports these features:
• Multiprotocol routing: TCP/IP and IPX/SPX communications over X.25 packet-switched
networks (SVCs and PVCs for remote Eiconcard routers, SVCs for remote third-party
routers), HDLC(LAPB), Frame Relay networks, leased or dial-up lines using PPP
• Frame Relay, PPP, X.25, HDLC(LAPB), over dial-up interfaces such as ISDN
• Dial-on-demand for ISDN, Frame Relay, PPP, and X.25
• SNA over Frame Relay connectivity with Host Integration Server
Encapsulation support (RFC 1490): IBM Boundary Network Node (BNN) and IBM Boundary
Access Node (BAN)
• Up to 32 simultaneous router connections

Routing Services is used to interconnect IP and IPX LANs and to provide access to the
Internet. The PAD or X.25 WAN Miniport, used in conjunction with Microsoft RAS, provides
remote dial-in users with access to corporate LAN resources. Drivers for Microsoft Host
Integration Server provide WAN support and extend Host Integration Server’s ability to
connect to SNA hosts around the world.
