SYNCHRONY synchrony /syn·chro·ny/ (-krah-ne) the occurrence of two events simultaneously or with a fixed time interval between them. atrioventricular (AV) synchrony (TM) IAN-150 Provides Extensive Routing, Frame Relay A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote distances, and services are offered by most major carriers. and X.25 Switching, and Frame Relay Access Device (communications) Frame Relay Access Device - (FRAD) Hardware and software that turns packets from TCP, SNA, IPX, etc into frames that can be sent over a Frame Relay wide area network. Features Ascom Timeplex today announced the availability of the SYNCHRONY(TM) IAN-150 Frame Relay Access Device. Designed for the needs of the branch or remote office location, the IAN-150 integrates LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. and legacy traffic on a single network infrastructure to provide a cost-efficient network access solution. As networks increasingly transition from mainframe to client-server systems, the versatile IAN-150 can consolidate LAN and host-based networks onto one wide area backbone providing a cost-effective communications solution for remote office locations. Cost-Efficient, High-Performance Traffic Integration This new, cost-efficient system integrates LAN traffic and a full suite of serial traffic and accommodates applications from two to seven ports all within the same box/chassis. The IAN-150 provides IP and IPX (Internetwork Packet EXchange) The network layer protocol in the NetWare operating system. Similar to the IP layer in TCP/IP, it contains a network address and allows messages to be routed to a different network or subnet. routing, frame relay and X.25 switching, and ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. WAN transport at speeds up to 2.048 Mbps. The IAN-150 also offers extensive support for IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) traffic, as well as remote management capabilities. The patented Ascom Timeplex EXPRESS SWITCHING(TM) architecture enables the IAN-150 to prioritize network traffic, particularly the transport of delay-sensitive protocols utilizing the frame relay protocol. EXPRESS SWITCHING technology also adds a suite of enhancements to provide Quality of Service to individual data streams on an end-to-end basis. The IAN-150 provides wide area network connectivity to both legacy and LAN applications over a common physical network interface reducing network overhead. It allows companies to build simpler network infrastructures which in turn, lessen administrative complexity and capital investment. The IAN-150 also provides automatic re-route and dial backup mechanisms to circumvent link failures. "The IAN-150 represents the future of access products at Ascom Timeplex," said Peter Taylor People called Peter Taylor include:
User-Friendly Interfaces For Novice to Expert The IAN-150's user interface screens allow for the intuitive configuration of the most difficult legacy protocols. Its default parameters are preset for the novice user, but are easily changed to an expert level that enables users to modify and configure any parameter. The IAN-150 is also designed to allow new software revisions to be downloaded from a central site eliminating the need for on-site technical expertise. "The IAN-150 Quick Start configuration allows users to get up and running quickly," said Bob McGuire, Assistant Vice President, Ascom Timeplex. "It requires a minimum of configuration information and on- line help is provided to assist the user in navigating the IAN IAN Interactive Affiliate Network IAN i am nothing IAN Instrumentation & Automation News IAN Ianuarius (Latin: January) IAN Instituto Agronomico Nacional (Paraguay) IAN Incident Area Network system." The IAN-150 is fully SNMP-manageable. It can be managed locally, via Telnet or via the Ascom Timeplex Element Management System (EMS) 200. The comprehensive SNMP-based network management utility provides customers with the tools needed to isolate and repair equipment problems quickly and efficiently. The IAN-150 has the functionality to both access public frame relay services and switch frame relay packets through a private network. The frame relay option can lower communications costs and make more efficient use of network bandwidth by providing high-speed, economical, wide area network interconnections among the most popular LAN access technologies such as Ethernet and Token Ring.
