Routing Services is used to interconnect IP and IPX LANs and to provide access to the
Internet. The PAD or X.25 WAN Miniport, used in conjunction with Microsoft RAS, provides remote dial-in users with access to corporate LAN resources. Drivers for Microsoft Host
Integration Server provide WAN support and extend Host Integration Server’s ability to connect to SNA hosts around the world.
Technical Highlights
Routing Services
Eiconcard Networks Routing Services extends Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service
(RRAS) for use with the Eiconcard Routing Services (LAN emulation), X.25 and ISDN WAN
Miniport Eiconcard drivers.
Routing Services supports these features:
• Multiprotocol routing: TCP/IP and IPX/SPX communications over X.25 packet-switched networks (SVCs and PVCs for remote Eiconcard routers, SVCs for remote third-party routers), HDLC(LAPB), Frame Relay networks, leased or dial-up lines using PPP
• Frame Relay, PPP, X.25, HDLC(LAPB), over dial-up interfaces such as ISDN
• Dial-on-demand for ISDN, Frame Relay, PPP, and X.25
• SNA over Frame Relay connectivity with Host Integration Server
Encapsulation support (RFC 1490): IBM Boundary Network Node (BNN) and IBM Boundary
Access Node (BAN)
• Up to 32 simultaneous router connections

Internet/Intranet Access
Eiconcard Connections for Windows provides convenient Internet/Intranet access to both local and remote users. Routing Services allows users to access the Internet/Intranet whether they be in the office or on the road. Corporate LAN users can access the Internet/Intranet over a variety of WAN protocols including ISDN, Frame Relay, PPP, X.25, or HDLC.
Also, by installing Routing Services and RAS on the LAN and connecting these applications to an X.25 service provider, mobile users can dial the local asynchronous access point of the X.25 network using their regular modem and access the same services they have in the office, including the Internet.

Routing Services
Eiconcard Connections for Windows allows branch offices to link together and transparently share information. Routing Services works with the Microsoft TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocol stacks. Routing Services provides local and remote applications with LAN interconnection over leased lines and dial-up connections, including ISDN, using X.25, HDLC, Frame Relay, SNA over Frame Relay, or PPP.

Overview
Eiconcard Connections for Windows router interoperability allows customers to access the network backbone comprised of different vendors’ products (Bay Networks, Cisco, Ascend).
Routing Services also fully supports Microsoft’s Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open
Shortest Path First (OSPF) for “dynamic routing”. Refer to the “Routing Services” topics in the
Eiconcard Connections for Windows Online Guide ( ECGUIDE .
CHM ).
ISDN or X.25 WAN Miniport and Microsoft RRAS
You can use the Eiconcard Connections for Windows ISDN or X.25 WAN Miniport in conjunction with Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) to enable remote dial-in access and connect over X.25 links to information on your corporate network. This provides the remote user with access to client-server applications such as SQL Server, connections through
Host Integration Server to an IBM mainframe, or connections to the Internet.
