CONVERTERS AND CONNECTIVITY
The SPS-3S, SPS-6 and SPS-12 are high
performance Frame Relay/X.25 multiprotocol
switches. Each port can be configured to one of
several protocols: Frame Relay, X.25, ISDN, RIP,
RIP-2, PPP, MLPPP, SDLC, HDLC, SLIP, async, or
Ethernet.
The products support an aggregate data rate on
three links of up to 2 Mbps. In addition, the
products feature a wide range of interfaces,
including CSU/DSU and Ethernet.
The SPS-3S, SPS-6 and SPS-12 can perform
packet switching between different applications,
such as X.25 to X.25; X.25 to Frame Relay;
Frame Relay to Frame Relay; and SLIP to SLIP.
They can also encapsulate various protocols
over Frame Relay and X.25.
Legacy data over IP
In addition, the SPS products offer a unique
solution for transmitting legacy data over high
speed IP networks by encapsulating the data
into IP packets.
The units perform dynamic bandwidth allocation
and data prioritization for optimal network
results.
Management capabilities
The built-in management agent enables
configuration, compilation of statistics and status
reports, and diagnostics. The management agent
can be accessed from any location in the
network. It can be programmed to transmit this
information as the result of an alarm event.
The SNMP agent enables management by the
RADview graphical user interface on a PC or
HP OpenView UNIX station, permitting the
products to be configured and controlled via the
X.25/Frame Relay network.
Link interfaces are modular and can be ordered
for RS-232/V.24, V.35, RS-530, X.21, V.36, as
well as ISDN S and U interfaces. Each interface
is switch-selectable for DCE or DTE. Both the
protocol and the interface can be independently
selected on any port.
SPS-3S, SPS-6 and SPS-12 are 1U high,
standalone units. The SPS-3S is half 19-inch
and SPS-6 and SPS-12 are 19-inch units.
