You can configure the Instant Internet unit as a SOCKS proxy server as a means for
handling FTP requests. If you have IP workstations already configured as SOCKS
workstations, you can use the Instant Internet unit to connect them to the Internet.
For details, refer to Using the BayStack Instant Internet Management Software
Version 7.11.
You can configure IP security (IPsec) to establish a virtual private network (VPN)
tunnel between an Instant Internet unit and a Contivity Extranet Switch (CES),
between an Instant Internet unit and a BayRS, or between two Instant Internet units.
For details, refer to Using the BayStack Instant Internet Management Software
Version 7.11.
This feature allows you to access and edit the Instant Internet configuration files
using a Web browser.
Enabling the Instant Internet as a Web (HTTP) proxy server provides:
• A single point of contact for LAN workstations
• A single point for LAN workstations to obtain access to other proxies
• Web caching to the network in addition to individual workstations (on Instant
Internet 400 units equipped with additional memory and Instant Internet 400-S
units)
