Exchange Rates

Everyday intake of Exchange Rates in business applications is a task that takes a great amount of time. Given that it is entering a numeric value with 6 decimal places, the possibility of error is large and requires employees complete concentration. In addition, the error is difficult to perceive and subsequently correct them, and I enter it normally takes do before or at the very beginning of working hours as an additional burden on staff.

For these reasons, the Laserline in the developed automated procedure for entering exchange rates directly into the business system to the web sites of banks. The system is currently implemented for the following banks:

• Erste & Steiermarkische
• Croatian National Bank
• Istrian Credit Bank
• Raiffeisen Bank
• Bank of Zagreb

The system operates in a way that the exchange rates of these banks is retrieved and stored on a web server Laserline (www.laserline.hr) and from that location to be transferred directly to the authentication system business partner companies. Switching is realized so that the employees of business partners within Laserline system activates the option of the reach of exchange rates, after which the system connects to Laserline web server, log on to the system and shifting exchange rates directly into Oracle's business base.

A prerequisite for using the service on the server that contains the operating system Laserline has enabled HTTP access to the Internet. Exchange rates are on a public server www.laserline.hr stored in Oracle database and are available exclusively via the HTTP protocol, and only from Laserline business system.

The service is free of charge, for details contact Laserline Helpdesk on telephone number 052 725 600 or mail with the address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Networks and security

NETWORK

The realization of projects of integrated information systems, the most important prerequisite for the functioning of the system is very well done computer network that has the capacity and throughput in a position to meet the demands for reliable and efficient operation of all system elements. Therefore, the design and execution of computer networks, cabling of local area networks in cooperation with our partners, or to connect remote offices with switches using a distributed network solution to the configuration of network protocols and network structure, with maximum access to care.

Since the implementation of centralized information solutions with data in one place, it is especially important to connect all units in an integrated information system, thereby maintaining a satisfactory performance in the work.

Laser Line with its partners, for the purpose of introducing their own information systems, designs and implements computer networks of all types and levels:

• LAN (local area) networks based on Ethernet protocol, structurally cabled UTP or optical cables
• WAN (distributed) networks based on different solutions:
  • Linking remote locations with a central through the Internet using VPN technology
  • Permanent links to connect remote locations 24 hours a day higher speeds, in situations where the remote units of the need to access multiple workstations central location
  • Wireless (wireless) connection elements of the system where possible and economically justified
• Security solutions - firewalls, intrusion detection and unified threat management (UTM) Systems

Given the quality of professionals and knowledge available to us, we are able to independently or with partners to design and execute the best solution for the introduction of Laser Line integrated information system in the company's partners a combination of all these network technologies.

Laser Line integral information system fully in communication relies on standardized TCP / IP network protocol.

Local area network (LAN)

Local networks today are based on the Ethernet network protocol with derived category 5e UTP cabling or more. The rule is the realization of the project segment by introducing high-speed intelligent network 100/1000 Mbit / s switch (manageable switch), if necessary with virtual LAN (VLAN) segments. The request for the efficient operation of Laser Line integral information system bandwidth of 100 Mbit / s in a client / server version, a 128 Kbit / s per user in the Application Server variant (alikacija in web browser - the browser).

Distributed network (WAN)

When sizing WAN networks, factors that take into account the number of workstations that access the central servers, the cost and availability of various solutions. In doing so it strives to meet all essential prerequisites for the efficient operation of the system:

• speed of the application
• complete centralization of the system (increased safety and reliability of data)
• protection of data
• stability in the work
• use local printers and print Croatian letters
• VPN technology to connect

If you need to connect a small number of workstations with a central office, using the DSL VPN technology. Reasons for using this technology are primarily due to cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions, as well as efficacy and safety in working with IPSec-based VPN links that are active 24 / 7 or are established as needed. Typically, this concept is used for locations up to 10 remote locations, given the requirement for a minimum bandwidth of 128 Kbit / s per workstation for the Laser Line Information System and limit upload speed DSL links.

VPN technology

VPN is the result of reduced costs in operation has become the dominant technology for connecting remote sites to a central location. Considering the organization and technological solution for which the Laserline system is designed as a fully centralized IT system, it is necessary to ensure quality data links that enable the efficient operation of the system with minimum downtime.

Produced for the safety and reliability are mainly used VPN links based on IPSEC technology with 3DES encryption and Internet Key Exchange protocol.

VPN links can be executed on different types of data links, depending on the number of users of the system from remote locations, existing infrastructure and introducing new features. If you need to connect a small number of remote locations up to 10 or so users, typically due to low cost DSL links using exploitation to which the VPN tunnels realize its own (more than 4 sites) or in conjunction with partner companies - providers of Internet services (ISP ).

If you need to connect multiple remote users with a central location, the VPN connection is implemented in collaboration with the ISPs. In certain situations, we realize VPN solutions on a rented links independently, mainly when such links already exist and need the same conversion.

Wireless networks

If the dislocated branches in the range of several kilometers, and among them there is a line of sight, it is possible to realize the connection and wireless solutions. In such cases, the locations are integrated into a single logical network based on standard B or G depending on the distance and number of segments connected wirelessly to the network.  

Permanent links

To connect multiple workstations to the central office can use a regular data lines. Such links are reliable, but expensive.

INTERNET TECHNOLOGY

Laser Line is connected to the Internet via dual links with separated traffic local network to the Internet from public service, from a security point of controlled traffic krez firewall.

We have our own public servers (web server, mail server, DNS server, FTP server, etc.) that are located in a central location in Umag in air-conditioned premises protected 12KVA UPS system at a constant link with the spare link and a static public IP addresses protected by a modern firewall systems.
