Internet: Shared Use of One Access
KEN! – 4 Overview of KEN! 71
4.5 Internet: Shared Use of One Access
Internet access is the prerequisite for surfing the World Wide
Web and exchanging E-mail.
KEN! allows one Internet access to be shared by multiple us-
ers. Thus each computer in your network is connected to the
Internet. This solution simultaneously saves costs, simplifies
configuration and increases security.
The shared Internet access is realized using the KEN! proxy
server. The KEN! proxy server makes it possible for two or
more users to surf the Internet at the same time using just
one B channel of the ISDN line. The other B channel remains
free for such tasks as fax reception or incoming telephone
calls.
It is possible to exclude individual users from Internet ac-
cess. Read the section „Granting or Denying Internet Access
to Users“ auf Seite 84 for more information.
KEN! establishes Internet connections directly over the CAPI
application interface. Internet connections are not estab-
lished using Microsoft Dial-up Networking. Therefore it is
not necessary to install Dial-up Networking, the AVM ISDN
CAPI Port Driver or the AVM NDIS WAN CAP Driver.
Access Data for an Internet Provider
In order to enter the Internet with KEN! it is necessary to ob-
tain Internet access from an Internet service provider. The In-
ternet provider supplies you with access parameters for the
Internet. The Wizard requests these access parameters for
the configuration of a new Internet provider.
The access parameters of the individual Internet providers
differ both in terms of the names of the data and in the num-
ber of entries required. The entry of access parameters for a
number of Internet providers is already preconfigured in the
KEN! Internet settings. If your provider is not included in the
list, select “Add new Internet provider”.
