OpenVPN Controllers
OpenVPN controllers use the OpenVPN software package to manage VPN
connections. The Remote RMX-3200 OpenVPN controllers can be configured for
either client mode or site-server mode.
An OpenVPN controller in the client mode is used to establish a VPN connection
between a Remote RMX-3200 client and the Connect SCS server. This VPN
connection provides a secure link between remote sites and the protected customer
management network.
An OpenVPN controller in the site-server mode establishes a VPN connection
between a technician's laptop running the Kentrox Redirect application and a Remote
RMX-3200. This VPN connection provides a secure link for accessing network
elements at a remote site from the technician's laptop.
Serial Controllers
Remote RMX-3200 has eight asynchronous serial controllers and can be equipped
with:
The RMX-WTE peripheral, which supports either Dual port or Drop and Continue
(DAC) functionality in either T1 or E1 mode. DAC provides a way to share the
bandwidth of a single T1 or E1 link among multiple devices. The WTE ports are
identified as
serial wan/1 and serial wan/2. For more information about DAC
functionality, refer to
Chapter 27: Drop and Continue Functionality.
The RMX-WWAN peripheral, which supports either an EvDO or UMTS phone
module. The phone is identified as
serial wan/1.
