Introduction
Chapter 1. Introduction
The OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian (NLG) gateway is the server
component of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG platform. The gateway terminates the secure
component of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG platform. The gateway terminates the secure
tunnels initiated by the OmniAccess 3500 NLG cards, manages user credentials and
security policies, and provides storage and file-transfer capabilities in support of third-
party remote-access and device-management applications. The gateway cooperates
with the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card in ensuring that interface switchovers at the user
endpoint of the secure tunnels do not disrupt any ongoing network application.
In the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Release 1.2 (R1.2), every instance of the gateway
integrates one instance of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG management system.
Accordingly, each OmniAccess 3500 NLG R1.2 card depends exclusively on one gateway
security policies, and provides storage and file-transfer capabilities in support of third-
party remote-access and device-management applications. The gateway cooperates
with the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card in ensuring that interface switchovers at the user
endpoint of the secure tunnels do not disrupt any ongoing network application.
In the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Release 1.2 (R1.2), every instance of the gateway
integrates one instance of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG management system.
Accordingly, each OmniAccess 3500 NLG R1.2 card depends exclusively on one gateway
for access connectivity and on the corresponding management system instance for all
OAM&P functions.
