APPENDIX B: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 31
QUESTION: ANSWER:
Can I use USTIP in a
VPN?
Yes. USTIP fits most network configurations utilizing standard
TCP/IP. The network administrator simply adds USTIP as a node on
the network via the USTIP Admin Console.
What is the slowest
connection USTIP can
handle?
USTIP offers scalable performance based on bandwidth available,
down to 20kbps.
Can I perform a Dial-
up modem connection
to USTIP over a PBX
line?
No. Modems require an analog telephone line.
Can I use USTIP within
my local network?
USTIP can be used in any computer network that supports its
Ethernet connection.
When does USTIP use
TCP? UDP?
Both TCP and UDP are used by USTIP. However, TCP is essential,
whereas UDP is optional.
UDP is used only for one USTIP feature, automatic detection
(“browse”) of USTIP units in a subnet.
If you do not employ the browse feature (and by extension, are not
using DHCP), then USTIP will only communicate using TCP.
