Chapter 2. Installation and Configuration
Defining the Upstream and Downstream Mappings
Upstream to downstream Mappings are at the heart of the SSL1000. These define the
path that the data will take, who may connect to which server, and which connections
will be encrypted.
Define a new mapping
1. Enter a distinctive name for the mapping.
2. Enter the Downstream Client IP address. Asterisks may be used as wildcards. (*.*.*.*)
3. Enter the TCP port that the SSL1000 will use to “listen” for client connections. Telnet
and TN3270 typically use port 23, but it is more secure to use values above 1024.
4. Enter the Server’s IP address and Port number. An alternate address is optional.
DNS names are not allowed.
5. Enter the inactivity timeout, which tells the SSL1000 how many seconds to wait
before disconnecting an inactive (no traffic to or from) client. Entering zero will
disable this feature.
6. Check Downstream clients will be using SSL if the client connection will be
secured with SSL. Unchecking this creates a passthrough with no encryption. The
host side cannot be encrypted.
7. Click the New button. The mapping will be saved and its name will be added to the
list of mapping names in the scrollable box.
Note: If the name you entered already existed in the list, an update will be done.
