Across Access Modes
You can use an Across Client to access the Server either directly, i.e., within a local network (LAN: Local Area Network) or indirectly, i.e., via a WAN (Wide Area Network, such as the Internet).
- Across distinguishes the following access modes:
- crossLAN – for access within a (company) network
- crossWAN online – for direct access to your Across Server via a dedicated line or a high-speed Internet connection
- crossWAN offline is subdivided into crossWAN load and crossWAN classic:
- crossWAN load – for access to your Across Server via the exchange of data packages controlled by wizards and synchronized by Across (for example, via a DSL connection). After the data have been downloaded from the Across Server, the user works "offline", i.e. without being connected to the Across Server, and uploads the data to the Across Server either after the task has been completed or at any other time, as needed.
- crossWAN load: The crossWAN load mode requires only a temporary connection to the Across Server in order to exchange data packages. The exchange of data packages takes place in direct communication with the Across Server.
- crossWAN classic: crossWAN classic works in analogy to the crossWAN load mode. However, the crossWAN classic mode, the data are only indirectly exchanged between the Across Server and the crossWAN client. An Internet connection is only temporarily required, if at all. Data can be provided to the crossWAN classic user either by saving it to an USB stick, providing the data as a download on an FTP server or they can be sent to the user via e-mail. Transmitting the data back to the Server takes place in the same way.
