CONVERTERS AND CONNECTIVITY
The FPS-8 is a Frame Relay/X.25 switch suitable
for headquarters and central sites requiring high
throughput. Each port can be configured to one
of several protocols: Frame Relay, X.25, RIP,
RIP-2, PPP, MLPPP, HDLC, SLIP, or async.
The FPS-8 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. It can also encapsulate
various protocols over Frame Relay and X.25.
Legacy data over IP
The FPS-8 can also offer a unique solution for
transmitting legacy data over high speed IP
networks by encapsulating the data into IP
packets.
Each of the eight sync ports operates at data
rates up to 2 Mbps. The FPS provides
throughput of more than 3,000 pps in Frame
Relay.
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 a result of an alarm event.
SNMP management support via RADview
The SNMP agent enables management by the
RADview graphical user interface on a PC or
HP OpenView UNIX station, allowing 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, or
Ethernet. Each interface is switch-selectable for
DCE or DTE. Both the protocol and the interface
can be independently selected on any port.
The FPS-8 offers optional support for ISDN BRI
interface.
