More Details: What is a Dedicated Network Account?

In general, a Dedicated Network Account refers to a type of account that allows a network administrator to connect all the PC's in a LAN to the Internet. Typically, a router is placed on the LAN's ethernet loop. The router dials up a circuit at Deltaland and maintains a connection between the LAN and the systems at Deltaland. Whenever Internet traffic is recieved at Deltaland for any member on the LAN, the traffic is forwarded to the LAN router, which in turn forwards the traffic to the individual PC. Converserly, when the PC has traffic destined for the Internet, it goes through the router to Deltaland, and then gets forwarded by Deltaland routers out to the Internet.

Each machine on your LAN must have a unique Internet number known as an IP address. These numbers must be registered for use with the InterNIC, an organization who coordinates who has which number. Deltaland allocates IP number(s) to you out of our pool of available numbers. These numbers must be configured in the Deltaland routing equipment so that your Internet messages flow to your network. Although machines are known to other machines in the Internet through the IP address, they often carry an alpha name, too. Each machine name in your LAN can be registered with its alpha name through America Net's domain name registration service, which is included at no additional charge during the initial installation.

Many LAN's have their own E-mail servers and related software which can be configured to talk to the Internet. We can configure all of your Internet E-mail traffic to automatically route to your E-mail server. One very cost-effective E-mail server software package that some of our customers use is called SLMAIL, and can be found at www.seattlelab.com .

Your Dedicated Network Account from Deltaland allows you 24 hour connection time for as much bandwidth (data volume) as your transmission connection can access.

Standard Voice Grade Line is the same kind of phone line that you use in your home or business. An ISDN line is a special digital data line that provides higher data transfer rates than you can get from Standard Voice Grade Lines. ISDN lines are configured by the phone company with two data channels. Voice or computer data can be configured for each channel. You can get up to 28.8 Kbs data rate from Voice Grade, while you can get either 64 Kbs (using only one channel for computer data) or 128 kbs (using two channels) on ISDN. ISDN lines must be ordered from the phone company with specific configuration instructions so that the phone circuit will correctly match the connecting equipment and related software. It usually takes more time for the phone company to install an ISDN line than a Standard Voice Grade Line.

A T1 line is a special digital data line that provides a 1.544 Mbps data rate transfer. It too must be specially configured to match connecting equipment and related software. It also takes more time to install.
