The 2212 Access Utility is built from the same solid code base that supports the IBM 2210 Nways Multiprotocol Router and IBM 2216 Nways Multiaccess Connector. The Access Integration Services software, which is provided as part of the IBM 2212's one-price package⁶, offers proven, standards-based interoperability for routing, security services, legacy application support, and network integrity. AIS carries licensed program number 5639-F73 and has the following components:

• Operational code and SNMP agent functions
• The command-line user interface, which allows you to configure, monitor, diagnose, and use the IBM 2212 Access Utility base code that is installed on the device.

Also provided is a Configuration Program. The Configuration Program is a graphical user interface that allows you to configure the IBM 2212 from a workstation. The Configuration Program includes error checking and online help information.
