Computone Introduces The PowerSurfer, The World's Fastest ISDN Modem - 921.6Kbps!LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 1996--Computone Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :CMPT) announced today the NEW PowerSurfer, which is now the world's fastest ISDN modem! The Computone PowerSurfer is the ideal ISDN Terminal Adapter A device that adapts a computer to a digital ISDN line. Like a modem, it plugs into the serial port of the computer or into an expansion slot. Some terminal adapters use the parallel port for higher speed. to utilize the high speed available with ISDN BRI connections. Using integral compression, the ISDN BRI interface can support data rates up to 512 Kbps. Correspondingly, the serial interface supports up to 921.6 Kbps, to ensure the asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. serial line does not slow down the ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. link. When used with the Computone IntelliServer PowerRack, which also supports 921.6 Kbps, the full ISDN bandwidth can be used. "The PowerSurfer high-speed ISDN modem expands our product line to ISDN BRI connectivity. Coupled with our integral PowerRack ISDN BRI capability, we have the ISDN BRI product to meet all of our customer's needs," said Erik Myrmo, Vice President of Engineering. The PowerRack, which was officially launched at Fall Comdex `95, supplies unmatched performance with serial port bit rates to 921.6Kbps on all serial channels, which meets and exceeds the most demanding throughput requirements of analog modems and/or ISDN links. The PowerRack is the only communications server available today that can meet the high performance throughput requirements of new ISDN adapters. The IntelliServer PowerRack is equipped with 16 serial ports and is expandable with up to three additional sixteen port serial modules, for a total of 64 serial ports. All serial lines may be configured as remote access PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Developed in 1994 by the IETF and superseding the SLIP protocol, PPP establishes the session between the user's computer and the ISP using links. All connections, except for the power cable, are conveniently located on the front panel. The IntelliServer PowerRack connects directly to an Ethernet 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. , supporting TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. networking protocols. The standard feature list includes full PPP, SLIP, and CSLIP (Compressed SLIP) A version of SLIP that compresses the data for transmission. CSLIP - Compressed SLIP support. The PowerRack is an ideal solution for sites that require remote access, INTERNET access, and LAN to LAN connectivity. In addition, the PowerRack has an impressive list of security and configuration features. The PowerSurfer supports a standard AT Command Set Interface, V.120 Rate Adaption Protocol, and MultiLink Point to Point protocol (MLPPP) for channel bonding to combine both B channels. The PowerSurfer ensures that you will maximize the use of your ISDN BRI links. Established in 1984, Computone offers the world's most extensive line of Ethernet, remote access/Internet communications servers, multi-port solutions for PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). , ISA, EISA, and MicroChannel computer systems; and UNIX-to-SNA/X.25 connectivity solutions. Computone was awarded Arthur Andersen's prestigious "Fast Tech 50" award for the fourth consecutive year. Computone is located at 1100 Northmeadow Pkwy, Roswell, GA 30076.
