SafeLinx Administrator
The SafeLinx Administrator is a Java application that lets administrators configure, monitor, and maintain the resources of one or more SafeLinx Servers.
- Controlling resources and organizational units
  SafeLinx gives you control over all resources and organizational units.
- Customizing network configuration
  SafeLinx lets you customize your network configuration.
  - Setting up a broadcast group
    You can define a group of users to which to broadcast a message.
  - Sending broadcast messages
    You can send a text message to all active users on a SafeLinx Server through broadcast messages.
  - Adding a network connection
    A mobile network connection (MNC) is the interface to a network provider.
  - Configuring intelligent connections
    You can configure the SafeLinx Server and SafeLinx Clients on Linux, Windows, or Windows CE to determine which protocol with which to connect to an Internet Protocol (IP) transport.
  - Configuring TCP-Lite
    A TCP-Lite transport is applied to a transport profile, which is a set of configuration properties that are applied to a connection profile. They are then applied to an MNC to control the performance options between an MNC and the SafeLinx Clients that connect to it.
  - Configuring HTTP codec
    You can add an HTTP codec and configure its properties.
  - Looking up users in another directory service
    You can store user account data in the same directory server (DSS) as all other SafeLinx Server resources, or you can choose to look up or manage user account data in a separate enterprise directory service. If you choose to look up data in an enterprise directory service, you must first create a directory server resource for each enterprise directory service you want to use.
  - Setting up IP addressing
    When you define a mobile network interface (MNI) and choose for IP traffic to be routed statically rather than using a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server, you set up a subnetwork.
  - Setting up network address translation
    To set up the SafeLinx Server to act as an agent between a public network and a private network and perform network address translation, add a network address translator (NAT).
  - Filtering incoming and outgoing data
    You can create filters to be associated with a mobile network interface (MNI) to control data access to and from all IP-attached clients.
  - Redirecting packets to and from SafeLinx Server
    Packet mapping is a way to redirect data through a mobile network interface (MNI).
  - Routing traffic to a subnetwork
    A routing alias is a SafeLinx Client acting as a multihomed destination gateway to route data between the SafeLinx Server and a subnetwork that you specify.
- Configuring for security
  SafeLinx includes options for configuring security.
- Managing administrators
  SafeLinx provides the tools to manage administrators.
- Managing users
  SafeLinx provides the tools to manage users.
- Troubleshooting problems
  SafeLinx helps you troubleshoot problems.

Adding a network connection

A mobile network connection (MNC) is the interface to a network provider.

When you install the SafeLinx Server, select the network types that you want to use from the networks that the SafeLinx Server supports. Then, when you configure the SafeLinx Server by using the SafeLinx Administrator, you configure a mobile network connection (MNC) for each network provider that is based on their network type.

If you did not initially install support for a network type that you need, install the support for it on the SafeLinx Server. After you install the support, add an MNC by using SafeLinx Administrator. To add an MNC, right-click the SafeLinx Server in the Resources view to add the MNC and select Add > Mobile network connections to configure the network type.
