Remote access powerhorse - the PowerRack Communications server with 921.6Kbps serial rate capability.ROSWELL, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 1996--Computone Corp. (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 it is shipping the new IntelliServer PowerRack, a high-performance communications server for remote access solutions. The PowerRack combines the functionality of a traditional terminal server with the extended communications capabilities of a remote access server and Internet access device with the convenience of a rack mount/table top enclosure. 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 (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 , 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. "We have confidence that PowerRack will exceed the expectations of our customers and will expand our large following with Internet Service Providers and corporate connectivity administrators. The performance of the PowerRack is unmatched in the remote access industry," 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 most demanding throughput requirements of analog modems and/or ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. links. The PowerRack is the only communications server available today that can meet the high-performance 460Kbps throughput requirements of new ISDN adapters. The IntelliServer PowerRack is equipped with 16 serial ports and is expandable with up to 3 additional 16-port serial modules, for a total of 64 serial ports. All serial lines may be configured as remote access PPP links. All connections, except for the power cable, are conveniently located on the front panel. The IntelliServer product family, which now includes both the SlimLine and PowerRack versions, will extend your corporate network to remote users worldwide. Network users can now work anywhere, and gain access to the corporate network for remote client access, multi-user host access, and remote office access. IntelliServer products provide the perfect remote access solution: high performance, scalability from 16 to 64 serial lines, full protocol and feature support, and an easy-to-use design. The PowerRack is powered by a MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. R3000-compatible 32-bit 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. for maximum performance. FLASH memory allows standalone boot capability and non-volatile network update of internal configuration data. Four (4) MB of RAM is available for the most demanding installations. AUI and Thinnet Ethernet connections are provided. Diagnostic and status LEDs are on the front panel for quick status indication. 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.
