3Com's CS terminal server family provides a wide spectrum of multi protocol connections for terminals, PCs, printers, and other network devices. CS terminal servers support TCP/IP, DEC® LAT, OSI (implementing
the International Standard Virtual Terminal Protocol, IS VTP), and TN3270 for links to IBM and other hosts connected to 3270-type terminals. These protocols operate concurrently, making it easier for users to access applications and data on a variety of host systems.
Key Benefits
- Network connections for up to 48 devices, with 10-port models for smaller networks.
- Concurrent access to multiple hosts running different protocols, from IBM® mainframes to VAX® and UNIX®-based minicomputers.
- Up to 8 simultaneous sessions per port, using TCP/IP, LAT, OSI, and/or TN3270 (subject to total system limitations).
- Support for Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), allowing dial-up
access to TCP/IP resources.
- Choice of transceiver modules for UTP and fiber media, or an AUI module requiring an external transceiver.
- Quick installation of hardware and software.
- Easy-to-customize management and user interfaces, plus a choice of menus or command lines.
