6.0 REMOTE ACCESS SERVICE (RAS) ADTRAN Service and Support personnel may need to access customer networks/ nodes/management systems remotely for symptom collection and troubleshooting. ADTRAN recommends a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection from an ADTRAN network to the customer s network using private tunnels that are implemented across a public network. A secure connection is ensured by encrypting and encapsulating original data packets within new ones. The login procedure is to be agreed on by both ADTRAN and the customer. This typically includes phone contact and CUSTOMER-controlled authentication before the connection is made. See the diagram below. The technical realization has to be discussed and agreed between the customer s IT Department and ADTRAN. Principles on remote access as proposed by ADTRAN 7.0 LICENSE KEY GENERATION ACI-E License keys are generated by the ADTRAN License Manager (ALM) tool. n A serial number (one per shipment) will be sent to the customer. n The customer will trigger the license key file generation on the adtran.com Web portal (simply by entering the serial key) and will promptly receive the key file via email. All previously shipped LIMES-generated license keys will remain valid. (There will be no replacement required for previously deployed licenses).
