! Attention!
Please note, particularly when using pay networks:
Data packets are exchanged when setting up a connection, when receiving a
connection and during attempts to connect (e.g. server off, false destination
address, etc.). It is thereby irrelevant whether the attempts to connect are
successful or unsuccessful. TAINY Connect Clients are generally configured in
such a way that they carry out the handling of this connection automatically and
independently.

The TAINY Connect System
The TSC protocol The TSC protocol is a protocol designed by Dr. Neuhaus for the
exchange of reference data, monitoring and control information
between the TAINY SwitchingCenter and the TAINY Connect
Clients over TCP/IP-based networks, whether wired (Internet,
intranet (LAN)) or wireless (GPRS).
The TSC protocol is currently defined as an independent standard.

The TAINY Connect System
All connections of the net control station PC pass through a PC with access to the
Internet/intranet as a switching center. The TAINY SwitchingCenter / TAINY
ModemServer is executed on this PC. These software variants each function practically
like a telecommunications private automatic branch exchange, meaning they can be
used to create switched connections or dedicated lines between any TAINY Connect
Clients. These include, for example, TAINY LMOD-S1, TAINY GMOD-Sx (with wireless
connection via GPRS). It is irrelevant whether the TAINY Connect Clients are accessible
via GPRS, Internet or intranet.

DynamicDNS- Also Dynamic DNS provider. Every computer that is connected with
providers the Internet has an IP address (IP = Internet Protocol). An IP
make it possible to address consists of 4 numbers with a maximum of three digits,
be accessible at a each separated by a period. If the computer is online over the
fixed Internet telephone line with a modem, with ISDN or ADSL, the Internet
address service provider will dynamically assign it an IP address, meaning
that the address changes from session to session. Even when the
computer (e.g. with a flatrate) is online 24 hours uninterrupted, the
IP address changes intermittently.
If a local computer is to be accessible over the Internet, it must
have an address known to the remote carrier. Only in this way can
it set up the connection to the local computer. However, this is not
possible if the address of the local computer is constantly changing.
That is, unless the operator of the local computer has an account
with a DynamicDNS provider (DNS = Domain Name Server).
He can then define a host name with the provider under which the
computer should be accessible in the future, e.g.: www.xyz.abc.de.
The DynamicDNS provider also provides a small program that must
be installed and executed on the relevant computer. During each
Internet session of the local computer, this tool notifies the
DynamicDNS provider of the current IP address of the computer.
Its domain name server registers the current host name - IP
address assignment and discloses these to other domain name
servers in the Internet.
When a remote computer now wishes to establish a connection
with the local computer, which is registered with the DynamicDNS
provider, the remote computer uses the host name of the local
computer as the address. This results in a connection to the
relevant DNS (Domain Name Server) being established, where the
IP address currently allocated to this host name can be found. The
IP address is transmitted back to the remote computer and now
used by this as the destination address. This now leads exactly to
the desired computer.
This process is the basis of all Internet addresses. A connection to
the DNS is first established in order to determine the IP address
assigned to this host name. When this has been done, the
connection to the desired carrier, any Internet presence, is
established with this "found" IP address.
DynamicDNS providers can be found in the Internet at the following
address: http://netzadmin.org/ddns-provider.php

COM port, virtual The term "COM-Port" (Communication Port) describes a serial
COM port interface (V.24, RS-232) on a Windows PC. Applications programs
use COM ports to transfer data to various devices, e.g. modems,
PCs, terminals, etc. A COM port can have a plug (physical COM
port) or be a software interface in the PC (Virtual COM port). Virtual
COM ports behave like physical COM ports for application
programs, whereby the data can be rerouted to other interfaces.

Protocol) at the recipient in a different order than they were sent or even be
lost.
TCP secures the connection and ensures, for example, that the
data packages are passed on to application in the correct order.
UDP and TCP supply port numbers between 1 and 65535 in
addition to the IP addresses. The various services are
distinguished by these.
A series of further protocols, including HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol), HTTPS (Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol), SMTP
(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), POP3 (Post Office Protocol,
Version 3) and DNS (Domain Name Service), build on the basis of
UDP and TCP.
ICMP builds on IP and contains monitoring messages.
SMTP is and e-mail protocol based on TCP.
IKE is an IPsec protocol based on UDP.
ESP is an IPsec protocol based on IP.
On a Windows PC, the WINSOCK.DLL (or WSOCK32.DLL) carries
out the processing of both protocols.

TSC protocol The TSC protocol is a standard designed by Dr. Neuhaus for the
exchange of reference data, monitoring and control information
between the TAINY SwitchingCenter and the TAINY Connect
Clients over TCP/IP-based networks, whether wired (Internet,
intranet (LAN)) or wireless (GPRS).
The communication of the TAINY Connect Clients with the TAINY
SwitchingCenter takes place with the TSC protocol. Superimposed
over the TCP/IP protocol, the TCP protocol bidirectionally transmits
reference data, control and status information whose start are
displayed with Escape characters. All reference data is transmitted
veiled, in order to avoid the transmission of data in plain text.
The terminals of the TSC protocol are, on the one side, the TAINY
Connect Client, and on the other, the relevant connection of the
TAINY SwitchingCenter. The data from the TSC protocol received
by the TAINY Connect Client is unpacked here and repacked into
the TSC protocol in order to send it to the destination
client.
TSC-Protokoll
Service provider Provider, company or institution that provides users with access to
the Internet or to an online service.
Protocol, transfer Devices that communicate with one another are subject to the
protocol same rules. They must speak the "same language". Such rules and
standards are referred to as protocols or transfer protocols. Often
used protocols include IP, TCP, PPP, HTTP or SMTP. TCP/IP is
the generic term for all IP-based protocols.
VPN - Virtual A Virtual Private Network (VPN) merges several private networks
Private Network (Sub-networks) together through a public network, e.g. the Internet,
into a shared network. Confidentiality and authenticity are thereby
ensured by the use of cryptographic protocols. In practical terms,
the VPN builds a tunnel through public networks. It is thus a cost-
effective alternative in comparison to dedicated lines when the
objective is to set up a supra-regional, tap-proof corporate network.
