QCan my AlphaShield™ function in either Static or Dynamic IP
address assignment?
AYes! Your AlphaShield™ can support either static or dynamic IP
addressing as long as the client is setup properly for the assigned
access. Each computer will have or be assigned an IP address in
order to connect to the network.
QCan the logical disconnect in manual mode be bypassed by hacking
into the AlphaShield™?
ANo! Once the inactivity timer value has expired or the disconnect
button has been depressed to create a logical disconnect, no possi-
ble code or software on either the computer port or modem port can
re-establish a connection session. The connect button must be
depressed by manual operator intervention before a connection
session can take place again.
QDoes AlphaShield™ provide any client reporting functions?
AYes! The only reporting available on the AlphaShield™ , is dis
played by the visual red and amber illumination of the Outbound or
Inbound Data LED's. (Unauthorized data packets are being dis-
carded.)
QWill AlphaShield™ permit IPtransmission using IPSEC for
security?
AYes! The AlphaShield™ does not modify the data packet transmis-
sion in any way. VPN's can be established by using IPSEC or any
other security algorithms.
