LAN-to-LAN Routing
NETServer 8/16 Plus performs dial-up routing between
facilities. This occurs when one NETServer dials up another and
logs in as a user, creating a NETServer - NETServer rather than
a user - NETServer connection. See Figure 4 below.
Connections can be set up in a number of ways: manual, on-
demand, timed, and continuous. You can configure connections
to use various routing and protocol parameters. The NETServer
8/16 Plus is also capable of establishing additional connections
to increase bandwidth automatically when traffic increases.
