IP-CommKit
IP-CommKit allows any computer with a 10Base-T
LAN interface to serve as a CommKit-connected host
in a BNS-2000 network.Your application software can
be migrated without recompilation.
IP-CommKit gives you access to the latest host
technology, protecting your investment in CO LAN and
the Lucent Technologies BNS-2000 Family of Products.
IP-CommKit simplifies your host-to-network
connection with standard interfaces and flexible
configuration options, reducing the cost of operations
and maintenance.
What is IP-Commkit?
IP-CommKit is a new twist on the CommKit® Host
Interface for BNS-2000 and BNS-2000 VCS (a.k.a.
Datakit® II VCS).Where the CommKit Host Interface
uses a fiber optic cable to connect the host computer
to the BNS node, IP-CommKit uses a 10Base-T LAN.
Instead of a fiber interface card in the host computer,
IP-CommKit uses the host’s standard LAN interface
card. In the BNS node, IP-CommKit replaces the CPM
Module with a UTM (Universal Trunk Module) module.
All these changes are invisible to the host applications
and the BNS network.
Your host applications and CommKit features behave
identically. You don’t even need to recompile.

Supports all CommKit features
IP-CommKit supports remote login, file and directory
transfer, and remote execution, and maintains all
CommKit security features for access control, user ID
mapping, and file permission. For custom applications and
developers, IP-CommKit includes the CommKit library,
libdk.so, and supports the Transport Layer Interface.
Transparent
IP-CommKit requires no changes to your host applications,
your host configuration, or your node configuration.
Standard Host Hardware
IP-CommKit uses your host’s standard LAN interface
cards, and accesses it exclusively through the drivers
provided by the host vendor. This makes it easy to use
IP-CommKit with the newest, most powerful hosts.
Remote Host Location
With IP-CommKit, the host is no longer bound to the
node by the fiber optic cable. Hosts and nodes can be
located anywhere with IP network connectivity.
|
Flexible Configuration
IP-CommKit allows a single 10Base-T LAN card in the
host computer to connect to as many as eight UTM
modules in the BNS node. This configuration is ideal for
applications requiring many low-bandwidth circuits. For
higher bandwidth, hosts can use up to eight separate
LAN interfaces. IP-CommKit is flexible enough to fit
your application.
4096 Virtual Circuits Per Host
Large applications can exploit the computing power of
modern hosts by serving more users. Each UTM
module supports 512 virtual circuits. Using eight UTM
modules, a single host can serve 4096 virtual circuits.
Applications
In the simplest IP-CommKit application, the host
computer’s LAN interface is directly connected to the
UTM card in a BNS node through a crossover cable.

High Security
IP-CommKit does not compromise the security of your
BNS-2000 network, even when the host and node are
connected through a public network.While the host
and node exchange standard UDP datagrams, the
contents of these datagrams are encoded with multiple
layers of proprietary protocols, leaving even ambitious
hackers frustrated.
Availability
IP-CommKit is currently available for NCR MP-RAS 3.02.IP-
CommKit will be available for IBMAIX 4.3,HP HP-UX 11.0,
LINUX and other operating systems in the near future.
