DataFire SYNC Family

As a complete hardware and software

solution, the Digi DataFire SYNC

WAN adapter family delivers tightly

integrated, synchronous remote

connectivity for major operating

system environments, including

Novell NetWare, Microsoft

Windows NT, SCO UnixWare,

Linux and Sun Solaris x86. The

DataFire SYNC adapters provide

remote LAN, WAN and SNA connec-

tivity for PCI, CompactPCI or ISA

servers, which make them ideal for

branch offices or central sites

where

two to 16 ports are required.

The WAN media options supported

by the DataFire SYNC Family of WAN

adapters include T1, fractional T1 and

E1; Digital Data Services (DDS);

switched

56/64; X.25; and Frame

Relay.

T1, fractional T1 and E1

services are

dedicated, high-speed, point-to-point

connections. T1 service provides 24

channels with 64 Kbps per channel

for a total bandwidth of 1.544 Mbps.

E1 provides 30 channels with 64 Kbps

for a total bandwidth of 2.048 Mbps.

Digital data services provide dedicated,

point-to-point communications over leased lines.

Like T1, fractional T1 and E1, DDS users are

charged a

flat monthly rate based on bandwidth

and distance.

Switched 56/64 are digital, dial-up, circuit-

switched services that provide 56 Kbps and

64 Kbps of bandwidth. They offer the flexibility

to connect to more than one site without having

to have a dedicated line installed between each

site. Once your site is connected, you can

connect to any other site that subscribes to the

same service. Users are charged a variable rate

based on distance and usage.

X.25 is a proven, packet switched technology

that has been around for many years. X.25

provides 100 percent error correction and

network-managed flow control. It guarantees

that every packet will arrive at its

destination without any errors. This

is a slow, deliberate process that

involves a great deal of

overhead, and is widely

used internationally where

leased lines are not

readily available.
