OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION
The IBM LAN Distance family extends the "office LAN" to remote
users. Using dial connections (asynchronous, synchronous, ISDN, or
X.25 PAD), remote users can access LAN (Ethernet or token ring)
resources as if physically connected to the LAN.
The LAN Distance family consists of two components:
o LAN Distance Remote Version 1.1:
In conjunction with the LAN Distance Connection Server,
LAN Distance Remote allows a PC running OS/2 or Windows to dial
into the LAN and access network resources. LAN Distance Remote
provides transparent access for most LAN applications;
- File and print servers including: IBM LAN Server, Novell**
NetWare**, Artisoft LANtastic**, Banyan VINES**, Microsoft
LAN Manager**
- Database servers including DB2/2 (TM)
- Communications applications including IBM Communications
Manager/2 or IBM PC 3270
- Mail applications including Lotus cc:Mail**
- Productivity applications including Lotus Notes**, IBM
Person-to-Person/2, IBM Time and Place/2
- Remote Control applications including IBM DCAF, Ocean Isles**
Reach Out**, Poly PM**
In addition, LAN Distance Remote allows one LAN Distance
Remote PC to connect to another LAN Distance Remote PC and
establish a virtual LAN. This allows file and print sharing
between two PCs using peer networking products such as Artisoft
LANtastic or LAN Server peer services.
o LAN Distance Connection Server Version 1.1
LAN Distance Connection Server provides the security and
routing functions for LAN Distance Remote PCs. It also provides
support for LAN workstations to dial off the LAN and connect to
LAN Distance Remote PCs or to another LAN Distance Connection
Server.
The LAN Distance Connection Server can support multiple
(simultaneous) remote connections. The number of connections
depends on the PC hardware, communications adapter, and type of
remote connectivity. For example, using four Star Gate**
Avanstar** 200 Asynchronous Communications adapters in a 486
33MHZ PC, up to 64 simultaneous asynchronous communications
sessions can be supported.
The LAN Distance Connection Server (8-Port) is a
value-priced version of the LAN Distance Connection Server and
provides the same functions for up to eight concurrent sessions.

its respective holder.
INTEGRATION OF BUSINESS SOLUTIONS
o Traveling Professional
LAN Distance allows business travelers with a single connection
to easily access multiple LAN resources while away from the
office. For example, with a single call users can check their
mail using Lotus cc:Mail, and can update their calendars using
IBM Time and Place/2. Using IBM LAN Server or Novell NetWare,
users can access central files and printers, and can access
their central host system using a terminal emulation package.
LAN Distance provides the high-speed connectivity and
transparent application access to enable this activity. When
users return to the office, they can use the "LAN Shuttle"
feature with their portable PC to operate as a LAN-attached
workstation. The applications and procedures that they use
remotely are the same as if they were in the office using a
LAN-attached workstation.
o Sales Professional
When a sales professional calls on a remote customer, and
discovers that a critical issue needs to be resolved, access to
the needed data can be retrieved by dialing into a central
database from the customer's office. At the end of the business
day, the sales professional can dial the central office from home
or a hotel room, and enter new orders, generate and print
customer thank you letters, and even catch up on e-mail. LAN
Distance provides the high-performance connectivity and
transparent application access to enable these types of
activities.
o Work at Home
Increasingly, businesses are searching for methods to let
their people work from home. LAN Distance allows a company to
extend the office environment to home users. Enhanced digital
connectivity options, such as ISDN and Switched 56, provide
high-speed connectivity to the home office. This allows advanced
applications, such as image or large data file transfer, to
operate efficiently. LAN Distance can concurrently support a
wide range of connectivity options.
o Network Administration
As mission-critical applications are implemented on the
LAN, 24-hour LAN availability becomes increasingly important.
Network administrators are being asked to support LANs in many
different locations. LAN Distance allows the network
administrator to remotely dial into the LAN to resolve problems,
speeding problem resolution and reducing costs. Networking tools
can run unaltered over the LAN Distance connection. In addition,
by using a network version of a remote control package (such as
IBM DCAF) users can remotely access (and control) servers,
utilizing workstations to further isolate problems.
o Remote Branch Office
In many instances, remote branch offices do not require a
permanent connection to the central LAN because:
- A limited number of people require access during the day
- The access is limited to occasional upload/download of
information
If this is the case, LAN Distance can be a very
cost-effective solution. LAN Distance allows temporary, casual,
bridging of the remote office LAN to the central LAN. It also
lets the central LAN to dial out and access remote office
workstations for upload and download of information.
o Temporary Office
Occasionally, it is necessary to set up a temporary office
space (for instance, in response to a critical sales situation or
an insurance carrier responding to a disaster situation). To
support these situations, there may not be sufficient time to
establish permanent network connections. In these instances,
multiple workstations can be connected in a LAN and LAN Distance
can be used to connect the remote LAN to the central site.
o Multinational Organizations:
In many instances traditional switched network solutions
are not adequate for remote LAN access. The only cost-effective
solution includes using a X.25 packet network. In most cases,
the remote user will want to connect the network either directly
or through a X.25 PAD using asynchronous communications. At the
central site, the LAN Distance Connection Server can access the
X.25 Network via one or more high-speed physical lines each
supporting multiple logical circuits.
ASSET PROTECTION
o PC Software Solution
Because LAN Distance is a PC Software solution, customers
can use existing PC hardware and adapters to support the remote
LAN access application. Taking advantage of OS/2, LAN Distance,
in many instances, does not require a dedicated server but can
share resources with another OS/2 server such as LAN Server or
the Communications Manager/2 Gateway. This offers a
cost-effective remote LAN access solution.
o Existing Network Resources
LAN Distance takes advantage of and enhances existing
network resources. It supports:
- Ethernet and token ring
- Standard telephone facilities
- All major LAN protocols and applications
LAN Distance can be seamlessly integrated into the
existing network without causing disruption.
o Multiple Connectivity Options
LAN Distance allows users to select the connectivity
option most appropriate for application needs. If simple
asynchronous communications are sufficient, LAN Distance supports
a number of IBM and other asynchronous adapters and modems. If
users need the high-speed digital connectivity of ISDN or
Switched 56, LAN Distance supports either of these. LAN Distance
is also enabled to use direct X.25 capability. By simply
changing communications adapters and device drivers, users can
use the same cost-effective solution to support all connectivity
needs.
o Application Transparency
LAN Distance provides transparent LAN access.
Client/server application programs can now run remotely with no
changes required. This simplifies application integration and
reduces the training required to access LAN applications
remotely.
CONNECTIVITY IMPROVEMENTS
o Scaleable Solution
LAN Distance offers a highly scaleable solution. At the
low end, using a two-port DigiBoard**, users can easily upgrade
the network server to include additional remote LAN access
capability. This ability to share a PC with other OS/2 servers
or applications offers an unequaled entry point. As the business
grows, users can upgrade a single dedicated LAN Distance
Connection Server to support up to 64 concurrent communications
lines by adding multiport asynchronous adapters. This
scaleability provides a single cost-effective solution for a wide
range of connectivity options.
o Transparent Access
Using LAN Distance, remote access to network resources is
like being physically connected to the LAN. This minimizes the
development cost in extending LAN applications to remote users.
It also minimizes the training cost associated with providing
remote access capability to LAN users.
IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY:
o Increased Mobility
Business professionals are no longer willing to be
tethered to their offices. Increasingly, they are demanding the
ability to work when and where their needs require. LAN Distance
give users access to LAN resources when and where desired.
o Ease-of-Access
With the LAN Shuttle feature, the user can easily switch
from LAN connectivity to remote connectivity. The LAN Distance
remote user utilizes the same applications and procedures to
access LAN resources as if physically connected to the LAN.
Users can access the full set of applications available, and
don't have to remember special remote access procedures.
o OS/2 or Windows
LAN Distance lets users operate in an environment that is
familiar. Windows users have the same LAN Distance access
capabilities as OS/2 users.
o OS/2 Application
The LAN Distance Connection Server is a standard
OS/2 application and does not require dedicated resources.
Support personnel do not have to learn a new operating
environment. Because it does not require dedicated resources,
LAN Distance can be added to an existing OS/2 server (for
example, LAN server, database server or communications server) at
a low-entry cost.
By taking advantage of a wide range of different
communications adapters, the same solution can grow to support a
large number of concurrent connections. For example, using four
DigiBoard PC/32em adapters, up to 64 concurrent sessions can be
supported from a single LAN Distance Connection Server.
o Extensive Connectivity Options
Connectivity options can be tailored to meet specific
application needs, starting with simple asynchronous dialing for
occasional access to network resources. If the application needs
change, to support image or large file transfers for instance,
and higher bandwidths are required, the user can upgrade by
simply changing the hardware adapter and device support to a
high-speed synchronous connection, such as Switched 56 or ISDN.
If the requirements change so that a continuous connection
is required, the X.25 packet network can be used without
requiring expensive dedicated phone lines. If needs change to
require highly mobile connectivity using cellular technology,
again, LAN Distance provides a solution. For all of these
options, the same LAN Distance software is used and the only
change required is to change out the PC adapter and device driver
support.
AUDITABILITY
o Local/Remote Administration
The network administrator can use either the LAN Distance
Connection Server or any other OS/2 LAN Distance Remote
workstation for administration. From a single workstation, the
network administrator can utilize the LAN Distance
point-and-click graphical interface to administer all of the LAN
Distance Connection Servers on the LAN.
o Error Logging and Reporting
LAN Distance uses FFST (TM)/2 technology to capture all
relevant information about an error condition. This minimizes
the effort required to diagnose and resolve error conditions. In
addition, LAN Distance supports automatic generation of NetView
(R) Alerts to report error conditions in centrally managed
environments.
o Host-Like Security
LAN Distance employs extensive security features to ensure
that LAN resources are protected from unauthorized access. LAN
Distance uses passphrases (four to 32 upper and lower case
characters including blanks) rather than simple passwords.
Passphrases have proven to be easier to remember and more
secure. LAN Distance utilizes a sophisticated user
authentication algorithm to ensure that passphrases cannot be
decoded or reused.
Optionally, call back can be used to further identify the
end users. But for many users, call back is not possible. These
users can be restricted to call in only from a specific
workstation or during specific times to gain access to the
system.
User types are identified as either users, administrators
or security administrators. By defining a separate security
administrator user type, personnel, managing ports and modems,
can be restricted from accessing the security database.
Standard passphrase policies can be enforced such as
minimum passphrase length, minimum and maximum frequency for
change, minimum frequency for repetition, and maximum number of
incorrect logon attempts prior to a User ID being disabled. All
security events, such as passphrase change, User ID addition or
change, or incorrect logon attempts exceeded, can be captured in
an audit file.
o Statistics Reporting
Extensive reporting of usage statistics can be captured
and accessed from any authorized workstation.
o Automated Filters
Key to the use of remote access solutions in a large
network environment is the effective filtering of unnecessary LAN
traffic from the remote link. LAN Distance allows filter
information to be entered manually. In addition, automatic
filters support a sophisticated learning algorithm to
automatically generate filter tables unique to each end user.
This allows a significantly more granular implementation without
requiring the network administrator to take the time to set up
the filter criteria.
o SNMP Support
LAN Distance can be managed using LAN NetView applications
and procedures. The LAN Distance Connection Server is SNMP
enabled so that standard SNMP Bridge and Router capabilities can
be tailored to support LAN Distance.

throughput.
The following guidelines are recommended for the LAN Distance
Connection Server bridge environment. These guidelines are intended
to document the number of active ports that can be concurrently
utilized with high volume data traffic. Exceeding these guidelines
may result in temporary degradation of performance.

MACHINE CLASSES:
o Class 1 Machines:
- 20 to 25 MHz Intel 80386DX machines
- 20 MHz Intel i486SX machines
o Class 2 Machines:
- 33 MHz Intel 80386DX machines

o Class 4 Machines:
- 50 MHz Intel i486DX machines
- 33/66 MHz Intel i486DX2 machines
- 60 or 66 MHz Intel Pentium** machines
CONDITIONAL INFORMATION:
o An entry marked with an "3" indicates that a 25MHz Intel 80386DX,
or equivalent CPU type, is the minimum recommended machine rating
for Ethernet bridging support.
o All entries marked with a "4" indicate that this level of
function is potentially available under most circumstances if the
user/administrator utilizes extensive and precise Bridge
Filtering criteria to enable more CPU resource by alleviating the
volume of data traffic.
o All multi-port LAN Distance Connection Server environments,
especially Ethernet environments, will require some form of
Bridge Filtering Criteria to be enabled to filter out unwanted
data traffic thus optimizing performance and reliability. Only
situations where LAN data traffic is consistently light are
exempt from this operating requirement.
o The preceding recommendations are assessed for dedicated machine
LAN Distance Connection Server environments. Changes in machine
and CPU workload, the type of WAN and LAN adapters used, the
aggregate WAN bandwidth, and peak LAN loads all affect these
guidelines and can then change operational performance and
results both positively and negatively.
o In non-bridged LAN Distance Connection Server environments, the
previous support for WAN connections can only be improved with
regards to the ARTIC PortMaster scenarios. The number of
additional ports that can be supported depends on the amount of
available CPU left in the host machine (due to lack of LAN
adapter traffic) and the aggregate bandwidth of the WAN
connections.

SECURITY, AUDITABILITY AND CONTROL
Security is a configuration option for both LAN Distance
Remote for OS/2 and LAN Distance Connection Server which when
enabled allows local and remote administration of security.
LAN Distance Remote for Windows provides support for
authorized users to logon to a secure LAN Distance workstation and
utilize its services (for example, dialer, bridge).
LAN Distance security is independent of any LAN network
security or LAN-based application security mechanism currently in
use. It will not interfere with their operations. LAN Distance
security is offered as an additional layer of security that can
compensate for the inherent reduction in physical security that is
associated with using remote LAN access products.
A secondary goal of LAN Distance security is to certify that
any "request for service" message received at a secure LAN Distance
workstation has been sent by an authorized user, has not been
modified in transit, and is not a duplicate or fabricated message.
Security features provided by IBM LAN Distance Connection
Server (8-Port) Version 1.1, IBM LAN Distance Connection Server
Version 1.1, and IBM LAN Distance Remote Version 1.1 for OS/2 are:
o User Types
Each user is classified as one of three types:
- User
- Administrator
- Security Administrator
A specific, fixed set of privileges is associated with
each type of user.
o User Authentication
User IDs are used for user identification and passphrases
are used for user authentication.
o Passphrases
Instead of standard passwords, LAN Distance security
supports passphrases. A passphrase can consists of from 4 to 32
case-sensitive characters (including blanks). Passphrases have
proven to be easier for users to remember and make off-line
dictionary attacks impractical.
o Passphrase Encryption
Passphrases are one-way encrypted using DES to form a
password key. The password key is used to develop Message
Authentication Codes (MACs) using the X9.9 standard. These MACs
are exchanged across the WAN link during the three round, two
party, two way LAN Distance entity authentication protocol. A
secret session key, a by-product of the protocol, is used to
authenticate (also using MACs) all LAN Distance "request for
service" messages used during the ensuing session. Like the
passphrase and password key, the session key is also never
transmitted across the link between the two parties.
o Callback support
Any user can be specified as a callback user. Two
different types of callback are supported -- fixed and variable.
When a user calls using fixed location callback, the user will be
called back at a preconfigured telephone number defined within
the user's account. When a user calls using variable location
callback, the user submits a telephone number as part of the
logon process, and is called back at the number submitted. Both
types of callbacks occur when the initial link is disconnected.
The user is authenticated both before and after the call back
occurs.
o Additional Access Restrictions
Users can be restricted to call only from workstations
configured with specific network addresses. The set of network
addresses allowed for each user is defined within the user's
account.
Users can also be restricted to call only during specified
hours of the day and days of the week. The valid logon time
intervals are defined within a user's account.
o Configurable Security Policies
Several security policies that apply to all user accounts
are configurable:
- Minimum passphrase length.
- Maximum and minimum passphrase age.
- The number of passphrase keys to be kept as history within an
account. This history is used to prevent passphrases from
being reused too frequently.
- Maximum number of unsuccessful logon attempts allowed.
o Security Audit Trail
The following information is recorded in an Audit File
located at each secure LAN Distance workstation and can be used
to identify any attempts to breach security and to assess the
effectiveness of security policies:
- The identity of each user attempting to logon and the
duration of each logon session.
- Any unexpected event that occurs during the logon protocol
(accessing an inactive account, exceeding the maximum logon
attempts, calling at the wrong time of day).
- All attempts to modify the security user account database
(whether successful or not) are recorded.
- Any attempt to change the security status from enabled to
disabled is also recorded.
- Unsuccessful logon attempts exceed maximum.
o Automatic Filtering
Both LAN Distance Connection Server Version 1.1 products
provides automatic filtering of LAN traffic across the WAN,
reducing the amount of data that can be observed via a wire tap.
Reliability, availability, serviceability, and auditability
features provided are:
o Call status display
o Error logging
o Statistics/security audit logging
o Supports use of report packages for data analysis
o Tracing
User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and
implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and
appropriate controls in application systems and communication
facilities.
