When a firewall protection and access control system is in use, e.g. the Internet FPSU system (http://www.amicon.ru/), a VPipe complex is used to organize a through channel between ATM-Intellect Pro and ATM-Intellect Workstation via ATM network resources.

The complex consist of two components:

  1. VPipe server. Installation file is in the ATM-Intellect installation kit at SoftForATM folder and is called VPipeSrv.exe
  2. VPipe client. Installation file is in the ATM-Intellect installation kit at SoftForATM folder and is called VPipeClient.exe

Installation files for VPipe complex are in the archive with intergation modules.

VPipe client is to be installed on the ATM. VPipe client is designed to create a communication channel between ATM-Intellect Pro and ATM-Intellect Workstation.

VPipe client operates as follows:

  1. At start, VPipe client automatically establishes a connection with the specified port of VPipe server and subsequently supports the connection in an operable mode.
  2. Establishes a connection with ATM-Intellect Workstation. Subsequently supports the channel in an operable mode.
  3. VPipe client transmits packages received from ATM-Intellect Pro (through VPipe Server) to ATM-Intellect Workstation, and from ATM-Intellect Workstation to ATM-Intellect Pro without changes.

VPipe Server is to be installed at the ATM-Intellect Pro. VPipe server is designed to receive packages from ATM-Intellect Pro and transmit them to ATM-Intellect Workstation, as well as to receive packages from ATM-Intellect Workstation and transmit them to ATM-Intellect Pro.

VPipe server operates as follows:

  1. At start, VPipe server opens a socket for ATM-Intellect Pro connection
  2. VPipe server opens a socket for VPipe client connection (ATM-Intellect Workstation).
  3. VPipe server transmits, without distortion, packages received from ATM-Intellect Pro into the VPipe client channel (ATM-Intellect Workstation) and back.

A connection is always initiated by VPipe client. At start, VPipe client establishes a connection with ATM-Intellect Workstation as well as with VPipe server (ATM-Intellect Pro). Connection between VPipe server and VPipe client is only possible when ATM-Intellect Pro, at its side, have established a connection to VPipe server.

VPipe complex is configured using Windows registry.
