Chapter 5. Administrative Information Base
o Admin Server — Administration server for the enterprise domain; in most cases
the administration server coincides with the Active Directory server, except
when the KDC realm administrator has not made the administration server
name available through DNS.
o Primary DNS — IP address of the primary DNS name server for laptop user
traffic. This entry must be filled with one IP address when the gateway is first
configured. Later on, any modification of the primary DNS name server address
must be executed on the [Gateway Configure-> Server Table Information]
window, reachable through the [Gateway|Configure Advanced Settings|Server
Table] path.
o Secondary DNS — IP address of the secondary DNS name server (optional). This
entry must be filled with one IP address when the gateway is first configured.
Later on, any modification of the secondary DNS name server address must be
executed on the [Gateway Configure-> Server Table Information] window,
reachable through the [Gateway|Configure Advanced Settings|Server Table]
path.
o Primary NTP Server — IP address of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server
used by the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway for time synchronization. Since the
time on the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway is critically bound to the time on
the Active Directory server, the Active Directory server typically acts as the
primary NTP server for the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway.
o Secondary NTP Server — IP address of the secondary NTP server (optional).
o SMTP Access Type — Settings for the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
server used for the exchange of emails to and from the OmniAccess 3500 NLG
gateway. The gateway uses emails (transmitted as SMS text messages over the
3G wireless network) to wake up dormant cards when urgent remote
management tasks are due. The options for the SMTP Access Type are <Direct>,
<Login>, and <TLS>. The <Direct> option enables access to the SMTP server
without submission of a <login, password> pair. The <Login> option requires
instead the submission of the <login, password> pair. The <TLS> option (for
Transport Layer Security) requires the <login, password> submission and
encrypts the communication between the gateway and the SMTP server.
o SMTP Server — IP address of the SMTP server.
o SMTP Port — Number of the
port used by the mail server to listen for e-mail
requests. The port number is typically <25>, but the administrator can change
it for security purposes.
o Mail From — Email address used in the ‘From’ field of the SMS messages sent to
wake up the dormant cards.
o Mail Domain — Domain within which all email addresses used for SMS messaging
are exchanged.
o SMTP Login — Login name assigned to the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway for its
email account with the SMTP server.
o SMTP Password — Password associated with the email account of the
OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway with the SMTP server.
