`
`The means of gaining entry to a system or network so that its resources may be utilized. Access (on a
`computer system) may be divided into two general categories, direct connection and indirect
`connection.
`
`• With a direct connection, one need only provide appropriate user identification from the user equipment
`to gain access to the system resources.
`• With an indirect connection, one must establish a communication link from the user equipment to the
`resource-providing equipment before proceeding with the user identification process and subsequent access
`to system resources.
