RoamAbout Mobile IP Client/Server Network Software V2.0
HIGHLIGHTS
o DHCP server support for temporary IP addressing
o Enhancements include WAN access through terminal servers
o RoamAbout Mobile IP and RoamAbout Transport client software combined
under one UPI
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
RoamAbout Mobile IP mobile client/server networking software enables mobile
users with portable computers to connect to their company's network wherever
they are working. And because these portable computers keep their permanent
IP network address or obtain a temporary one through DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol), independently of their physical location, mobile
users have the same level of service both in the workplace and away from it.
BENEFITS
o Mobile users who cannot afford to leave their work can access files,
services, and applications in their home office environment from anywhere
on the corporate network and through any WAN access.
o Mobile users can participate in a network through the resident DHCP
server now offered in V2.0, thereby conserving the use of IP addresses
for easier manageability.
o Password functions have been enhanced, to help maintain a more secure
network.
