What is IP-CommKit
IP-CommKit is a new twist on the CommKit® Host Interface
for BNS-2000 and DataKit VCS II. Where the CommKit Host
Interface uses a fiber optic cable to connect the host computer
to the BNS/VCS node, IP-CommKit uses a 10Base-T LAN.
Instead of a fiber interface card in the host computer, IPCommKit uses the host’s standard LAN interface card. In the
BNS/VCS node, IP-CommKit replaces the CPM H-S Module
with a UTM (Universal Trunk Module) module. All these
changes are invisible to the host applications and the BNS/VCS
network.
Your host applications and CommKit features behave
identically. You don’t even need to recompile.

Local Application #1
In the simplest IP-CommKit application, the host computer’s LAN
interface is directly connected to the UTM card in a BNS/VCS node
through a crossover cable.

Features & Benefits
•Protection For Your Investment
IP-CommKit gives you access to the latest host technology, protecting your
investment in CO LAN and the Lucent Technologies BNS-2000 Family of Products.
IP-CommKit simplifies your host-to-network connection with standard interfaces
and flexible configuration options, reducing the cost of operations and maintenance.
•Transparent
IP-CommKit requires no changes to your host applications, your host
configuration, or your node configuration.
•Supports all CommKit features
IP-CommKit supports remote login, file and directory transfer, and remote
execution, and maintains all CommKit security features for access control, user ID
mapping, and file permission. For custom applications and developers, IPCommKit includes the CommKit library, libdk.so, and supports the Transport
Layer Interface.
Features & Benefits (Cont.)
•Standard Host Hardware
IP-CommKit uses your host’s standard LAN interface cards, and accesses it
exclusively through the drivers provided by the host vendor. This makes it easy to
use IP-CommKit with the newest, most powerful hosts.
•Remote Host Location
With IP-CommKit, the host is no longer bound to the node by the fiber optic cable.
Hosts and nodes can be located anywhere with IP network connectivity.
IP-CommKit allows a single 10Base-T LAN card in the host computer to connect to
as many as eight UTM modules in the BNS node. This configuration is ideal for
applications requiring many low-bandwidth circuits. For higher bandwidth, hosts
can use up to eight separate LAN interfaces. IP-CommKit is flexible enough to fit
your application.
•4096 Virtual Circuits Per Host
Large applications can exploit the computing power of modern hosts by serving
more users. Each UTM module supports 512 virtual circuits. Using eight UTM
modules, a single host can serve 4096 virtual circuits.
