Intelligent comms card for OEM developers
A new four-port version of its intelligent communications card for OEM developers has been introduced by FarSite Communications.
The network connections can be a mixture of RS232C, X.21 and V.35, with ports being configurable for both DCE and DTE operation.
As well as providing a low cost X.25 switch as against that offered by conventional dedicated devices the Switch support software can also operate in conjunction with the FarSync TCP-X25 gateway range to provide a elegant filtered pass-through system.
Using a two-port FarSync card an X.25 line can be split (one side DTE the other DCE) and data traffic passed through the FarSync card.
The FarSync TCP-X25 gateway running on the same PC/server can be configured to filter off selected X.25 traffic to allow the gateway perform the transfer over a TCP/IP network leaving the remainder to be passed on down the X.25 line.
This allows for a very smooth and iterative migration path where it is required to transition X.25 traffic over a TCP/IP network while still retaining some traffic over the X.25 network.
The FarSync X.25 switch module, product code FS9602 is available now.
