TITLE LOCAL AREA NETWORK HOME OFFICE PROGRAM VERSION 1
ABSTRACT The IBM Local Area Network Home Office Program (LANHOP/6000)
Version 1 provides a connection from a user's remote computer to a
LANHOP/6000 gateway allowing users to access their office LAN
workstation from their home or on the road.
The LANHOP/6000 package provides a gateway server program that
runs on a RISC System/6000 (R). OS/2 (R) Presentation Manager (R)
and DOS programs that run on the remote workstation are also
provided. These programs establish a modem connection with the
LANHOP/6000 gateway. Host and/or LAN applications can then be
accessed remotely and executed.
This product provides users access to their workstations from
home or anywhere there is a telephone. The remote workstation can be
an OS/2 workstation with transmission control protocol/internet
protocol (TCP/IP), a DOS workstation with TCP/IP, or a DOS/Windows
workstation with TCP/IP. A RISC System/6000 running AIX (R) Version
3 with TCP/IP may also be utilized as a remote workstation. Host
access is also provided to VM running TCP/IP or MVS running TCP/IP.

OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION
REMOTE LAN ACCESS CONNECTIVITY
Finally, a solution to the problem of providing users access to their
office workstations from home or on the road... LANHOP/6000.
LANHOP/6000 provides cross platform remote access capability
to the following:
o Connection to a PC on the LAN and mirroring of a full screen
session (token ring or Ethernet LAN)
o Connection to a mainframe host session.
Remote connecting platforms may be OS/2, DOS, or DOS/Windows.
GROWTH ENABLEMENT -- CONNECTIVITY IMPROVEMENTS
LANHOP/6000 provides a secure connection from a user's remote
computer to a LANHOP/6000 gateway. This link allows users to access
their office LAN workstation from home or on the road. The programs
at the remote end will establish a modem connection with the
LANHOP/6000 gateway. The remote programs and the LANHOP/6000 gateway
program cooperate to establish a secure link via the SLIP component
of TCP/IP. Once the secure link is established, the OS/2 LANHOP/6000
programs are no longer in the picture and the remote OS/2 or DOS
TCP/IP is left connected via SLIP to the network via the LANHOP/6000
gateway.
GROWTH ENABLEMENT -- REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
By providing remote LAN and host access, LANHOP/6000 enables a
work-from-home concept which could ultimately reduce space and
facilities requirements. This reduction could provide significant
cost savings.
END-USER PRODUCTIVITY -- IMPROVED WORKER PRODUCTIVITY
Providing remote access to a user's office workstation enhances the
productivity of a worker who is working remotely. The user may
access his/her job-site network and thereby have access to any of the
program provided on that network.
FENCING -- DATA ACCESS SECURITY
LANHOP/6000 provides the ability to establish group authorization
files that will restrict a user's access to connections (host names).
Each user will be authorized to a particular group which in turn will
list the connections (host names) available to that group.
NETWORK MANAGEMENT -- SNMP AGENT
LANHOP/6000 provides management of your gateway network via Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This capability allows
collection and access of statistics on the status of the network
interfaces, incoming and outgoing traffic, port utilization, CPU
utilization, and error message generation.
TRANSACTION ACCOUNTING
LANHOP/6000 provides full collection and mirroring of accounting
functions per user session. The following data is provided:
o Start time
o Stop time
o Modem speed
o Gateway name
o Dialing platform (DOS, OS/2, DOS Windows)
o Port number
o Userid.
An application programming interface (API) will be provided to
access this information.
