Chapter 2: Installing the Avaya Endpoint
Avaya Endpoint Access Control (EAC) Agent enables you to impose a security policy on the client PC
when it is connected to the corporate network through the Avaya VPN Router (AVR), Avaya VPN Gateway
(AVG), or Secure Network Access Switch (SNAS), . This policy defines the firewall and security software,
or Software Requirement Set (SRS), that must run on the client PC while the PC is connected to the
gateway.

Avaya EAC Agent

The Avaya Endpoint Access Control (EAC) Agent runs on the client desktop PC and is
responsible for processing and checking the SRS rules. For example, the Avaya EAC Agent
checks that the required components (executable files, DLLs, configuration files) necessary to
comprise a personal firewall are installed and active.
The Avaya EAC Agent provides the following features:
• starts at bootup
• remains inactive until a connection is established. Once connection established, it
remains in listening state.
• once connection is torn down, it becomes passive.
