- What is...
  SafeLinx Administrator Help identifies and clarifies necessary topics.
  - 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.
  - Device resolver
    The device resolver identifies devices when the devices connect to the network.

Mobile network connection

A mobile network connection (MNC) is the SafeLinx Server's interface to a network provider.

There are many types of networks, so aspects of the connection interface vary for different network providers. Most of networks have a line driver, a network protocol interpreter, and one or more physical ports.

When the SafeLinx Server is installed, you select the network types to use from the ones that the SafeLinx Server supports. If you have all network types installed, you can see the complete list of available MNCs. Then, from the SafeLinx Administrator, you configure an MNC for each network provider, based on their network type. You need a separate MNC for each network provider.

To add an MNC, right-click the SafeLinx Server to which you to add the MNC, and then click Add > Mobile network connection. Select the MNC type from the list of installed support.

A SafeLinx Server that is configured exclusively as a subordinate node in a cluster does not need MNC support installed, unless it is a messaging MNC. To dispatch traffic for a given network, make sure that the SafeLinx Server that has the MNC support installed and configured is the principal node in the cluster.

When you configure an MNC, you must choose a connection profile and an authentication profile for the MNC. If the connection profile is for an IP-based network, then you must also choose transport profiles to assign to the connection profile.
