Computone demonstrates remote access solutions with "IntelliServer" product.ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 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), a leading U.S. designer and manufacturer of 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. multi-port subsystems and remote access hardware and software solutions, will provide a hands-on remote access demonstration at UniForum with the Computone IntelliServer, an asynchronous communications server See ACS. for TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. and Internet/remote access. Due to new enhanced features, such as RADIUS, RIP, rotary support and overall increased interest in the IntelliServer, Computone will offer a remote access demonstration and a Q&A session during the show. Also featured will be the new IntelliServer "Power Rack." This high-performance product, scheduled to ship Spring `96, is an enhanced rack mount version of the existing IntelliServer (SlimLine) product. The Power Rack, which is capable of speeds up to 230.4 Kbps on all serial channels, is expandable up to 64 serial ports and can support 64 simultaneous 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 sessions, which is optimum for Internet Service Providers and high-end remote applications. Topics covered during the demonstration will include: server setup; typical applications (dial-in users, Internet/remote access - PPP, SLIP & CSLIP connections, iservd applications, direct connections to any host server and dial out); MUX replacements; typical devices (terminals, printers, faxes), ethernet, TCP/IP overview and ISDN modem integration. Both IntelliServer products can be connected to a TCP/IP 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. , or can be booted independently and operated as a standalone remote unit. When installed on a LAN, the IntelliServer requires no special operating system device drivers, simplifying upgrades and TCP/IP host cross-platform connectivity. Installation of the IntelliServer is menu-driven and can be completed in a few minutes. To maintain high throughput for up to 64 physical devices, the IntelliServer integrates surface mount technology with ASIC circuitry, a high-performance RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. , up to 4MB RAM, 512KB ROM and 32KB Flash PROM for non-volatile storage of configuration parameters. Built-in connectors for ethernet are BNC (thin-net) and AUI (thick-net, twisted pair, fiber optic). IntelliServer's standard feature list includes full PPP, SLIP and CSLIP support, permitting IP devices to be connected over RS232 or RS422 serial ports at up to 200Kbps (230.4Kbps with the new IntelliServer "Power Rack"). This offers an ideal solution for sites that wish to implement cost-effective remote access, Internet access and LAN-to-LAN interconnectivity. While at UniForum `96, stop by Computone's Booth No. 862 and see the remote access IntelliServer in action! 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 third consecutive year. Computone is located at 1100 Northmeadow Pkwy., Roswell, GA 30076.
