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.
In addition, the SPS products can offer a unique solution for transmitting legacy data over high speed IP networks by encapsulating the data into IP packets.
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 switchselectable 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" and SPS-6 and SPS-12 are 19" units.
