Secure Network Connections
Secure network connections for TN3270 clients using Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, is provided by the CCA-3074 as a
configuration option. The CCA-3074 server is designed to
provide secure SSL encrypted communication to PC desktops or
any other TN3270 client platform that supports SSL. For PC
emulators that do not support SSL encryption natively, Visara has
software available (eConduit) that may be loaded onto the PC to
provide the SSL encryption.
LAN Printers Supported as Consoles
LAN printers can be supported by the CCA-3074 through a
couple of different mechanisms. TN3287 sessions can be set up
internally on the CCA-3074 with output directed to a LAN printer
or remote Unix/Linux server using LPD/LPR protocol. Visara
thin clients can be used to provide the same function but staged
remotely.
Management Planning
The CCA-3074 offers several options for management.
Configuration changes can be made while the CCA-3074 is
performing its normal duties, however for most changes, a restart
is required. To allow for routine maintenance and system
changes, it is strongly suggested that more than one CCA-3074 be
used to provide redundant console connections.
Configuration and management of the CCA-3074 is supported
through a secure browser (https) connection. This browser
connection can be initiated from a direct attached monitor,
keyboard, and mouse, or from most any remote platform capable
of running a web browser.
A unique management product produced by Visara for the
purpose of managing the CCA-3074, as well as any external Coax
Subsystems and Visara Thin Client/Console desktops is available.
This product is called eManager. eManager communicates to the
CCA-3074 using SSL encryption. eManager provides additional
tools
