The FarSync WAN TE1 intelligent card provides versatile high
performance E1 G.703 and fractional E1 G.704 connectivity to the Internet,
satellite connections or to corporate networks over leased
lines
The intelligent FarSync WAN TE1 card brings comprehensive E1 support
to Linux and Windows. Full bandwidth on unstructured E1 G.703 lines (2.048 Mbits/s) and fractional E1 G.704
(64 Kbits/s to 1.984 Mbits/s) are supported with easy software
configuration.
Both the modern RJ-48C (RJ-45) connectors and the traditional twin coax
are available on the card so if you are not sure what connector type is
being used you won't go wrong using the FarSync WAN TE1.
Whether you are connecting to the Internet, satellite links, private
networks using TCP/IP or interconnecting sites using leased lines a
FarSync adapter provides the connectivity solution, replacing standalone
routers and firewalls with an integrated solution on a PC/Server.
Linux:
The card installs seamlessly under Linux kernel series 2.2, 2.4 and
2.6 on both single and multiprocessor systems. The drivers are
included as standard in the kernel. Distributions by Redhat, SuSE,
Slackware, Mandrake, Debian, Fedora and many more are supported.
The link level protocol can be PPP, Cisco HDLC or Frame Relay.
The serial port provides a standard point-to-point network interface
controllable with all the standard Linux networking tools.
Windows:
The card installs seamlessly as a plug & play device under Windows2000,
XP or Server2003 on both single and multiprocessor systems. The
interface to the card is presented as an NDIS LAN driver with TCP/IP
running over PPP with optional authentication by CHAP or PAP (RFC 1334).
The FarSync WAN TE1 card is suitable for connection to TCP/IP
networks on windows and Frame Relay networks on Linux. Typical applications include:
-
High speed Internet Access
-
Internet access over Frame Relay
-
Remote office access over leased lines
-
Server-based network hub (Routers & Firewalls)
-
Integration with embedded Linux based Products
-
Satellite multicasting
-
Video Teleconferencing
The FarSync WAN TE1 is designed for high performance
and flexibility. The adapter is driven by a 50 MHz AMD Am186 CC
processor with 1Mbyte of on board zero wait state SRAM. The PCI Bus
mastering DMA interface provides a very high performance interface to
the adapter whilst minimising PCI and Server CPU loads.
Multiple FarSync cards can be installed and the FarSync
WAN TE1, T1U, T2U and T4U can be freely intermixed.
The FarSync WAN TE1 is PCI version 2.2 compliant and PCI-X compatible,
this Universal PCI card can operate in PCs using either 3.3 volt or 5 volt
signaling. The card is suitable for PCs with both 32 bit bus and 64 bit
bus configurations including Single processor Systems with a basic 32 bit
PCI bus, Multiprocessor / Hyperthreading Systems and Systems equiped with
a PCI-X bus. The power for the card is derived from the 3.3 volt supply
rail.
Linux:
A simple installation procedure will make the device driver available
via the standard kernel configuration mechanism. The driver may be either
permanently linked to the kernel or used as a dynamically loadable
module.
A configuration tool is provided to set line speed, interface and the
protocol, after which the ports may be configured with standard networking
tools. Examples and default configurations are provided with the on-line
documentation.
Windows:
The Farsync WAN TE1 is very quick and easy to install. The product is
supplied with an NDIS interface that allows the connection to appear to
the system as a LAN card. This means, that all the configuration
complexities are hidden, making for a very quick installation.
Microsoft´s Dial-Up networking and RAS are not required to be used at
all. A configuration application is available to configure the E1
parameters if required.
A daemon is included that allows the signals on the port to be
automatically monitored. The network interface associated with the
specific port can then be brought up or down to reflect the line
state. This allows routing tables to be dynamically recalculated to
reflect destinations actually available.
The product includes the communications card, RJ-48C (RJ-45) 2 metre
cable, driver software (with source), utilities and documentation supplied
on CD-ROM.
