Lists of specific clients (including LAN/WAN users, remote client
sites and remote groups) connected to the central mailbox Server.
Total administrative control functions like assigning both Client
users and Group IDs along with passwords and Firewall access permissions.
Control over length of passwords.
Date and time of last session time stamps.
Optional Sign-On Messages displayed to incoming remote clients.
Detailed information as to what transactions have occurred within the
mailbox system including Reports by Traffic, Busy Signals, Sessions (who, date/time logged
on/off, action occurring), User Directory (each user can be assigned a separate user
directory for security purposes), File names both sent and received, how many bytes
transmitted, et cetera, User Mailboxes, Group Mailboxes, User Directories, Purged Files
(delivered and undelivered), Purge Warnings (delivered and undelivered), and so forth.
Detailed reporting functions over a 12 month period are broken down
by month. Reports can be printed for each remote client (or group) that includes a
complete description of everything that went on including the number of bytes sent and
received.
System Purging Intervals with automatic scheduling capabilities.
Naming capability for all inbound and outbound files.
Inbound mailboxes can be automated --- for example, a mailbox can be
established to automatically re- route incoming files to leased or ISDN lines at other
locations.
Client Features Include:
Remote Client Software Capabilities
Remote client sites receive automatic up-dates sent to their system
during each connect into the Server (i.e., the client will receive a list of Server(s) and
Client(s) with which the central host allows connection).
Remote client sites have the choice of either automatically receiving
all files from the Server, or merely obtaining a list of the files waiting in their
mailbox, or receiving selected files only. The same capability exists for sending
files. And, everything can be automated (as shown in the screen below).
Remote client sites may have a secure FTP link to the Post Office
(Server) for authenticated and controlled access to proprietary and/or confidential files.
Remote client sites have the capability and choice of sending files
to multiple FastConnect Server sites. Also, they may send to other remote client sites
through the Server (this assumes that the Administrator at the central hub Server will
allow this “pass-through” to occur which it is definitely possible).
Remote client sites can confirm that the files were delivered to
other sites (Servers and/or Clients), and can also see exactly when they were picked-up.
It is just like having Certified Mail.
Remote client sites have the capability of operating into Servers
supporting high-speed analog modems at up to 230,400 bits per second. By using 8
times compression, this will allow for file transfer speeds equaling that of special
digital (ISDN) lines. Files can be sent and received at better than 1.0 Megabyte per
minute while using business modems that cost under $300 each.
Remote client sites have the ability to re-link “broken”
files rather than having to start a file transfer from the beginning once again.
This is a special feature of all the FastSync mailbox systems and not standard as part of
TCP/IP. In other words, if a 10 megabyte file is being transmitted and 9 megabytes
have been sent when the system goes down (for whatever reason such as a lightening hit or
electrical failure), only the balance of the file (1 megabyte) will be sent, thus saving
time and money.
