  - Organizational unit
    An Organizational unit defines and groups resources.
  - Access manager
    The access manager program communicates with the SafeLinx Server's persistent data storage and manages the access to data.
  - SafeLinx Server
    The SafeLinx Server helps you connect mobile computing devices to your company's private intranet and the internet securely.
  - Mobile network connection
    A mobile network connection (MNC) is the SafeLinx Server's interface to a network provider.
  - Mobile access services
    Mobile access services integrate access for all supported wireless and wireline networks within a single resource.
  - Cluster manager
    A cluster manager is a resource that balances load and improves availability among SafeLinx Servers.
  - Messaging services
    Messaging services enable a web application server to send messages from a wired network to a client in a wireless network.
  - HTTP access services
    HTTP access services provide a secure tunnel for HTTP communication to any HTTP Version 1.1. client.
  - Directory server
    Directory servers allow the SafeLinx Server to use databases from existing user accounts.
  - Users
    User accounts allow a user to access the SafeLinx Client in order to connect to the SafeLinx Server.
  - Authentication profile
    An authentication profile is a set of third-party configuration properties, which are assigned to a connection profile or HTTP access service.
  - Admins
    Admins are users of the SafeLinx Administrator whose responsibilities range from initial configuration of a SafeLinx Server and definition of gateway resources, to maintaining and monitoring resources.
  - Access control lists (ACLs) and ACL Profiles
    An access control list (ACL) is a table of access levels for all resource types per organizational unit (OU). An ACL profile is a collection of ACLs that you assign to administrators to define their level of access to resources.
  - Mobile device
    A mobile device is device over which the SafeLinx Client uses to communicate with the SafeLinx Server. You define mobile devices to the SafeLinx Administrator to control which devices can access the SafeLinx Server.
  - Modem profile
    A modem profile enables a modem to communicate over a mobile network connection.
  - Wireless password policy
  - Group
    A group is a way to pool certain types of resources into an organizational unit.
  - Default resources
    Default resources is an organizational unit (OU) that contains some commonly used groups, profiles, and filters that are automatically installed with the SafeLinx Server.

SafeLinx Server

The SafeLinx Server helps you connect mobile computing devices to your company's private intranet and the internet securely.

A SafeLinx Server uses standards-based protocols to connect over a wide variety of networks, both wireline and wireless, efficiently and easily.

A SafeLinx Server can be configured:

To use mobile access services: Integrates access for all supported wireless and wireline networks within a single resource to provide the secure IP tunnel to SafeLinx Clients.

To use messaging services: Enables a web application server to send messages from a wired network to a client in a wireless network. Messaging services support several types of message modes: short message service (SMS), short message delivery over proprietary networks, and simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP). Examples of message operations might be new, stock quotes, weather, broadcast messages, and notification of events such as email arrival. You can configure only one messaging service per SafeLinx Server.
Note: Messaging services are not supported on Windows.

To use HTTP access services: Provides an optimized and secure tunnel for HTTP communication to any HTTP Version 1.1. client. The connection between HTTP access services and an HTTP client is secured by using secure sockets layer (SSL). The connection between the HTTP proxy server and the HTTP access services is optionally secured by using SSL.

Some administrator responsibilities are:

Startup/shutdown
Reset log files
Viewing log files
