FRAD/X.25 PAD

• Eight-channel async FRAD/PAD with a single synchronous Frame Relay or X.25 link
• IP encapsulation over Frame Relay (RFC 1490) or X.25 (RFC 1356) networks
• Integrated ISDN terminal adapter
• SNMP management via the RADview application on a PC or HP OpenView station
• Synchronous link data rate up to 2 Mbps
• Async channel data rate up to 115.2 kbps
• Synchronous link interfaces: V.24/RS-232, V.35, X.21, RS-530 and V.36
• Can operate as terminal server

• Allows construction of high performance, private X.25/Frame Relay networks or efficient extensions of public X.25/Frame Relay networks
• Support for IP over X.25/Frame Relay networks

Async data over X.25/FR networks and IP PAD facilities

The APD-8 is a FRAD/X.25 PAD that connects up to eight async channels to Frame Relay or X.25 networks.

All channels are configured and monitored by the management agent of the APD-8. All async channels operate according to X.3, X.28 and X.29 profiles or SLIP protocol. Async traffic can be packetized directly over a Frame Relay network, or packetized via X.25 protocol and encapsulated over a Frame Relay network.

The built-in management agent enables system configuration and compilation of statistics, status reports and diagnostics. The units incorporate an SNMP agent, enabling management by RADview on a PC or HP OpenView station.

The APD-8 is available as a standalone unit, measuring 1U in height. Two units can be mounted side-by-side in a 19" rack.
