QUESTIONS asked July 17, 2007 at 2:14pm (MST): 1. Can you provide detailed information about the type of Internet connection that might be available at the Ozette Ranger Station to "share" with Olympic National Park? We are specifically interested in whether there is an IP-based connection of sufficient bandwidth to support an online Pay Station connection to our server. 2. If our Pay Station were to deliver any transactional data over such a connection provided in (1) above would Olympic National Park restrict this communication flow in any way? (i.e. would Olympic National Park be able to allow the data to flow through a restricted port?). ANSWERS provided July 18, 2007 at 9:35am (PST): All service must be possible through on-site visit or through a standard telephone line. All credit card authorizations and batch processing must also allow for use of telephone line. There may be Internet connection approved which is "PCI Compliant" and meets other security standards. This may be through a 64 K or T1 line. This connection would be through the National Park Service-wide Area Network (WAN), which is a restricted network with limited access to the general Internet. Direct connection through the WAN to the Automated Fee Machine is generally prohibited from the general Internet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12.603, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
