Network administrators can run either single switched environments or a segment switch between older and newer Ethernet groups. Management occurs with either traditional SNMP or Bay's multiplatform Optivity software. And, once again, this product from Shiva Corp. comes out on top in the remote-access market. The SNM utility automatically finds the LanRover on the network and enables the administrator to configure users, ports, protocols, and connection methods. Easy to use and adaptable to various bandwidth needs, Instant Internet provides Internet connection options including a modem, ISDN adapter, or an Ethernet adapter for WAN links.
Instant Internet includes connection scripts for several hundred Internet service providers.
