A version of the popular FarSync X.25 range of products for Linux supports very high numbers of virtual circuits (VCs).
Up to a huge 4095 X.25 VCs can be supported per line - the maximum that the X.25 standard permits.
This means, for example, 8190 VCs on the two-port FarSync X25 T2U, where the standard version supports 254.
Linux is increasingly being viewed as a reliable, cost-effective platform for wan hubs and this has led to demand for high-VC-count high-density X.25 products.
The FarSync X25 High Capacity Pack for Linux provides an excellent solution for this requirement as it can be used with multiple FarSync X.25 cards.
One-, two- and four-port cards are available.
As part of the release, the maximum line speed has been increased to 8.448Mbit/s.
As well as text file configuration a new Java and XML-based GUI configuration application is available.
Customer applications using the standard X.25 sockets api are 100% compatible with the FarSync X25 High Capacity Pack for Linux.
The FarSync X25 High Capacity Pack for Linux is supported on the FarSync X25 T1U, T2U and T4U adapters.
