Product Summary

RAD's APS-8, APS-16 and APS-24 multiprotocol high performance FRAD/X.25 PADs enable access to Frame Relay/X.25 networksand also function as multiprotocol packet switches. Typical applications include transferring async data over Frame Relay networks, transferring async data over an X.25 network, migration of terminal/server applications to an IP environment, and consolidating IP (Ethernet) using RFC 1490/RFC 1356 and async traffic over Frame Relay/X.25 networks.

Benefits

• Allows construction of high performance, private X.25/Frame Relay networks or efficient extensions of public X.25/Frame Relay networks• Enables secure migration from a terminal/host environment to a distributed client/server environment

Further Product Information

The APS-8, APS-16 and APS-24 are high performance FRADs/X.25 PADs for access to Frame Relay or X.25 networks. Async traffic can be packetized directly over the Frame Relay network, or packetized over the X.25 protocol and encapsulated over a Frame Relay network. The APS is ideal where a large number of async channels is required; in a heterogeneous environment combining async traffic and synchronous or LAN traffic; and in applications that require backup, bandwidth-on-demand or dial-in. The APS enables secure migration from a terminal/host environment to a distributed client/server environment.
