272Using the Port Forwarder API

General

This appendix describes some of the tasks needed when using the Port Forwarder API. The JavaDoc will give you a more detailed view of the API.

The Port Forwarder API is used to provide tunnels through the Nortel VPN Gateway (NVG) without having to start any applets from the Portal. It can be used by any type of Java application or applet.

The tunnel specifications are set by defining a port forwarder in the CLI/BBI. It is then referred to when setting up the Port Forwarder API.

Note: Defined applications are only started automatically if the port forwarder API is used by an applet.

The API and Demo application are available from the Portal.

The zip file contains both a signed and an unsigned version of the API along with javadoc documentation and a demo application with source code.
