CServers(TM) enable the local and remote management of servers, network equipment and other serial devices. Scalable and highly cost-effective, CServers(TM) are available in 16 and 32-port models that fit in 1U of rack space. CServers(TM) offer secure serial device access and management, decreasing network maintenance costs while increasing efficiency and productivity. CServer(TM) Product Features: -- Windows(R) 2003 Server EMS support -- Secure In-band and Out-of-band Network Management -- Linux Inside! -- 1U form factor -- Management from anywhere -- PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, San Jose, CA, www.pcmcia.org) An international standards body and trade association that was founded in 1989 to establish a standard for connecting peripherals to portable computers. PCMCIA created the PC Card. See PC Card. support Compass(TM) 2324 and 4004 edge workgroups are ultra-fast, high-performance, standards-based, switches offering a combination of architectures and abilities for maximum flexibility, while being one of the lowest prices in the market. The Compass(TM) 4004 offers 4 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports and 4 slots for media expansion. The Compass(TM) 2324 has 24 10/100Mbps RJ-45 ports and 2 slots for media expansion. The expansion slots A receptacle inside a computer or other electronic system that accepts a printed circuit board. The number of slots determines future expansion. See PC data buses. (hardware) expansion slot - A connector in a computer into which an expansion card can be plugged. support optional 1000Base-T, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX, and 100Base-FX modules that provide great flexibility in enterprise applications. Designed as a Layer 2 switch with Layer 3 routing software functions and RIP 1/2 support, the Compass(TM) 2324 and 4004 can easily integrate into existing network configurations. Compass(TM) Product Features: -- Software Routing with RIP/RIP2, DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Software that automatically assigns temporary IP addresses to client stations logging into an IP network. It eliminates having to manually assign permanent "static" IP addresses. DHCP software runs in servers and routers. relay, Proxy ARP (networking) proxy ARP - The technique in which one host, usually a router, answers Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests intended for another machine. By "faking" its identity, the router accepts responsibility for routing packets to the "real" destination. support -- Stacks up to 8 units -- Maximum distance between 2 stacked switches is 10km -- Wire-speed filtering and forwarding -- Port Mirroring for network traffic analysis and connection integrity -- Port trunking See port aggregation. : up to 4-port trunks per switch About Digital Networks Digital Networks designs and develops products, offering solutions that enable businesses of all sizes to share Internet access See how to access the Internet. , peripherals and applications among multiple computer and Internet-enabled devices. Digital Networks' roadmap for the future includes new products aimed at meeting the business requirements in the area of Device Server, LAN Switching
