Eliminate Wireless Connectivity Problems and Keep Working

Connection persistence

ConnectPro eliminates lost information due to dropped connections because the ConnectPro server software maintains the session, even if the device goes to sleep or the connection is momentarily lost. Devices can freely roam in and out of RF coverage, survive a device reboot or battery change while maintaining application state and seamlessly reconnect to the host and existing sessions. ConnectPro maintains session persistence for thousands of devices, truly making it an enterprise level proxy server.

Failover environment

The ConnectPro server provides multiple options to ensure a complete failover environment and eliminates the potential for single point of failure. Up to three ConnectPro connections can be created so that on the off chance that one does go down, it automatically reconnects to a second or third ConnectPro server. Upon a failed ConnectPro connection, you can also use the standard host connection as a failover, again eliminating the single point of failure and offering redundancy for mission critical applications.

Secure your client

Wavelink ConnectPro uses SSL/TLS encryption from the client to the ConnectPro connection and supports SSH encryption from the ConnectPro session to the host application ensuring the highest level of security. If administrators feel the need to customize these settings, Wavelink ConnectPro easily allows them to create custom security parameters.

Standard telnet connections are not encrypted or secure. Because ConnectPro can force encryption between the client and ConnectPro, all network traffic between those computers can be encrypted and secure. By configuring the client Host Profiles to only perform encrypted connections to ConnectPro, secure connections can be made over non-secure networks, such as older Wireless LANs or the Internet.

Administrator features

With numerous settings for administrators, administrators have a full range of services and settings at their fingertips. This includes controlling who connects to the server and viewing how long they have been connected, viewing recorded activity for a given session, viewing IP addresses and ports for all active sessions. Administrators can also view the total number of active connections/clients for any given proxy service and the total number of connections made to that proxy service since the last restart of the ConnectPro server.

Easy-to-use

With a Web-based interface that’s easy to use, administrators can easily disconnect a session on demand, suspend a proxy service on demand, set-up multiple proxy services, configure multiple host services, and set automatic ConnectPro server restart times.

The Web-based management provides additional security enhancements providing the ability to activate SSL/TLS Web communications, restrict access to a given network or a specific workstation and provide the option to encrypt access to the configuration files.

The WAN environment

ConnectPro allows for seamless roaming across disparate carriers. Wavelink’s design enables mobile units located on the Internet to connect to ConnectPro servers that are located on trusted networks behind firewalls, this connectivity can take place as ConnectPro resumes your network session and allows roaming between different networks.

Data capture

With Wavelink ConnectPro, administrators can capture Telnet network traffic between the Telnet client and the host. For convenience, the Telnet network traffic is written to one file that can be viewed from the Web-managed ConnectPro interface. ConnectPro also provides various levels of logging, which allows administrators a comprehensive view of the inter-workings of ConnectPro.
