Overview
JBM Electronics' Gateways are low-cost
routers designed for users who need to
interface Legacy protocol devices to a
Frame Relay network. The Gateway 900
(G900) provides one serial port, a
10/100BaseT port and a WAN port with
an integrated T1/E1 DSU
The Gateways convert Legacy protocols
to TCP/IP or UDP for connection to a
Frame Relay network. The Gateways
can also interface IP-only devices to a
Legacy protocol network. Terminal
emulation for the IP device is available,
providing a unique migration path for a
network. This capability allows an IP
device to coexist with an older protocol
network.
Applications
The Gateways offer several advantages
in customer networks, including:
Converts data from Legacy protocol
devices to TCP for connection to a
WAN network, providing a migration
path to an IP-based network.
Allows TCP/IP devices to access a
Legacy protocol network.
Provides host and terminal emulation
for all polled protocols, which allows
up to 100 physical devices to be
connected to one serial port.
Converts data from a TCP/IP device
to UDP for Ethernet networks.
Provide secure communications with
optional Firewall, SSL, IPSec
encryption and VPN tunneling
software.
Offers RIP, OSPF and BPG routing
for IP data.
Provides full Frame Relay support
and complete control over the frame
network interface, including Priority
and CIR allocation.
Provides special support software for
ATMs and POS devices to enhance
error reporting and recovery.
Concentrates multiple Legacy
protocol applications from one
location without replacing existing
devices. Existing applications are
supported with protocol conversion;
data format manipulation, text
manipulation, custom data translation,
unique network addressing, or
specialized host or terminal
messaging.
Offers custom modifications to handle
unique user requirements, such as
text or data manipulation, special log-
in commands, host application
messages, or data translations.
