Token Ring interface. NETServer also supports Frame

Relay with two independent high-speed synchronous

ports. NETServer PRI Cards process both ISDN and

analog calls.

NETServer communicates through high-speed circuit

and packet-switched buses, to minimize processing

time between cards in the Enterprise Network Hub and

to allow the distribution of link protocols, such as PPP

and Multilink PPP, across cards in the system for

greater throughput. NETServer supports remote node

access, terminal services and dial-up LAN-to-LAN

routing capabilities with advanced management,

security, and call accounting capabilities.

The NETServer and NETServer PRI Card Sets

for the Total Control Enterprise Network Hub are

designed to perform in data center environments

where network downtime must be minimized and

performance maximized for all remote users. The

NETServer Cards can support up to 48 modems in a

single chassis. NETServer PRI Cards can support up to

230 simultaneous ISDN connections.

NETServer is tightly integrated with U.S. Robotics

award-winning V.Everything

/V.34 modem technology

for connections at the highest possible speed, widest

range of connection types, and highest reliability.

NETServer is available with either an Ethernet or

APPLICATIONS

Remote user access. Telecommuters and traveling

users can dial into a NETServer connected to their

corporate network utilizing either analog or ISDN to

access e-mail, download files from the corporate

network, and interact with a corporate host system as

a terminal or as a client to a host server, such as Lotus

Notes. An advanced Call Accounting and Security

system ensures dependable access for authorized users

to appropriate network resources.

Internet access. Internet service providers (ISPs)

worldwide utilize NETServer and NETServer PRI to

provide their subscribers with dial-up analog or ISDN

access to the Internet. Call Accounting and Security

capabilities provide these large networks with the

information they need to manage network access, track

subscriber usage, and provide billing information.

LAN-to-LAN routing. NETServer provides

bandwidth-on-demand routing across multiple

dial-up lines providing an ideal branch office routing

solution, back-up links for larger routers or for

automated data duplication. Any port can be used

for dial-in access or LAN-to-LAN routing. NETServer

works dynamically to provide remote access or

additional bandwidth when needed.
