TollSaver Database

The TollSaver database contains an extensive list of Point-of-Presence (POP)
phone numbers for many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) throughout North
America. A master TollSaver database is maintained on the Aurorean Policy
Server. To customize this database for your remote users, you simply select
the ISPs they are permitted to use from a list and create a POP package. When
you later build a Aurorean Client installation kit, the APS uses your selections
to extract POP phone numbers from the master TollSaver database to build a
POP package that is stored on the APS. This custom database is copied onto
the remote user’s computer when the Aurorean Client installation kit is
installed.

You can build as many POP packages as necessary. If you want each group to
use a different POP package, you can associate one or more groups with any
POP package and build that group’s installation kit. Refer to Chapter 6 for
more information on building Aurorean Client installation kits.

Because ISPs are constantly opening new POP locations, Enterasys Networks
provides a mechanism for updating the master TollSaver database on the APS
with new POP phone numbers. The Aurorean Software Update Service
delivers periodic TollSaver updates with new ISPs and updated POP phone
numbers. Aurorean software updates are normally supplied on a CD ROM
which you insert into the APS.

NOTE

For information on the contents of each Aurorean software update and

instructions for installing the update, refer to the documentation supplied

with the Aurorean Software Update Service CD ROM.

If you select additional ISPs from the database after building a POP package
and distributing Aurorean Client installation kits, you can make these ISPs
available to your remote users by performing some special steps. These steps
include rebuilding the POP package and then enabling client synchronization
to download the new ISP POPs to users when they connect. Refer to
Chapter 6 for more information on client synchronization.

For instructions on selecting ISPs for your remote clients to use, refer to
“Creating POP Packages” on page 105.
