Introducing IPSec

Scenarios

Sierra Wireless AirLink modems with IPSec are designed to support the gateway‐to‐gateway security model.

IPsec is the most general security model, in that it allows either side to initiate a VPN session. Some user scenario’s are discussed in this section.

In these examples, the term “VPN tunnel” is used to indicate a secure IPSec connection.

Remote Access Scenarios

1.This scenario shows three remote access activities:

a.AVL Application Server (one way transmission of secure data): AirLink modem has GPS capability (PinPoint model). The modem has set up a VPN tunnel with a corporate VPN box and is configured to send GPS location data to the corporate network.

Figure 1-2: AVL Application Server scenario

b.Corporate Email Server (two way transmission of secure data): AirLink modem is connected to a laptop. The modem setup has a VPN tunnel with the corporate VPN box. Through the modem, the laptop can securely access the corporate email server.
