For a group of staff members, who e.g. often work together on projects at a
customer’s location, a so-called mobile conference room can be established.
The access point then only has to be configured once by the administrator; the
staff members on location simply have to supply the device with power and
slot in the data card. With an appropriate configuration the router automati-
cally builds up a connection to the Internet. The result is that all notebooks
with a compatible passphrase in the WLAN configuration can directly access
the Internet. As long as the router has a VPN connection to headquarters, the
field staff can also access all of the services in the network of headquarters
(fileserver, mailserver, data bases) from the mobile office.
 With the LANCOM UMTS/VPN Option the VPN support with five con-
nection channels is automatically activated. Further information to
the configuration can be found in the LCOS reference manual.
1.2.3 UMTS/HSPDA Backup
The high availability of data lines e. g. between branch offices and headquar-
ters in large company networks are in the majority of cases established over
backup solutions with ISDN or analog. The standard Internet connection is
then provided e. g. over a DSL connection, and an ISDN or analog line is used
as a backup line in the case the DSL line breaks down.
