Figure 95 Overview of the AIS Connect Function

Customer network
ETERNUS DX
The diagram above describes the overview of the AIS Connect function. The left-hand side repre-
sents the customer and the right-hand side represents the service provider. The connection set-up
initiative is always from the customer side based on regular AIS Connect agent contacts (Simple
Object Access Protocol (SOAP) messages) with the AIS Connect server that can be reached via the
Internet.
AIS Connect agent requests to the AIS Connect server can be handled directly and immediately.
AIS Connect server requests to the AIS Connect agent (remote access) cannot be sent until the
next contact has been set up. If remote access of the AIS Connect is enabled by the customer, the
AIS Connect agent then executes the requests from customer operations such as setting up a tun-
nel for "remote access" or initiating a file transfer.
Contact set-up and request processing are performed via an HTTPS tunnel. Under certain circum-
stances, the firewall must be configured on the customer side to enable this type of tunnel to be
set up. Likewise, proxies (plus ID and password) can be specified during Internet access configura-
tion.
AIS Connect agent can perform the following actions:
