MOXA CN2500 Async Server, with 4/8/16 RS-232 serial ports,
provides powerful and reliable solutions to connect async
devices, such as terminals, modems, data switches, mainframe
computers, and POS devices, to hosts running on a 10/100 Mbps
TCP/IP Ethernet. If your application environment requires
either UNIX-based workstations or Windows NT-based PC servers,
Async Server offers the best of both worlds.
Integrated Terminal Server, Remote Access Server, Async
Device Server, and
Printer Server
MOXA Async Server is successfully installed as a terminal
server in banking and travel reservation systems, as a remote
access server in medium-sized enterprise networks connecting
modems, as an async device server in telecom companies
connecting async-interface equipment, and as a printer server
in stock exchanges. Each of Async Servers 4/8/16 serial ports
is individually configurable, with multi-functionality
achieved by configuring each port according to your
application needs.
Proven Workstation Solution with Convenient TCP/IP
Programming Tool
CN2500 Async Server is the perfect solution to connect
async devices among different computer platforms, such as PC
servers and IBM/HP/SUN workstations, that use any of the major
operating systems, including Windows NT, SCO Unix, and Linux,
as long as data is transmitted with TCP/IP sockets. To
facilitate async device control over TCP/IP networks, MOXA
ASPP (Async Server Proprietary Protocol) programmable protocol
enables network hosts using simple TCP/IP socket programming
to control async devices connected to Async Server as if they
were locally attached.
Windows NT Real COM Port Driver
Windows NT users can take advantage of the fact that Async
Server transforms ASPP into Windows NT Real COM port driver,
compatible with Windows NT's standard COM port driver and
RS-232 signal control. The extended COM ports supplied by
Async Server can be used seamlessly by applications such as
modem pooling, fax pooling, data acquisition, thin-client, and
Windows NT RAS.
UNIX Fixed tty Program
MOXA Async Server supports UNIX fixed tty on SCO Unix,
HP-Unix, IBM AIX, and Sun Solaris platforms. It enables Unix
hosts to keep track of terminal login history by assigning a
fixed tty name to each terminal. Unix fixed tty is frequently
applied in security critical terminal access applications such
as banking, as well as in other financial services.
Independent Remote Access Server
Remote access or intranet dial up service is another
popular application suitable for Async Server. Mobile users
and telecommuters, using modems and public phone lines, can
access Intranet databases at any time. Moxa Async Server
provides multiple levels of security to protect your vital
business information. Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)
and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) enable
the username and password to be encrypted against
eavesdroppers.
Supports RADIUS for both Windows NT and UNIX
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service), for
both Windows NT and UNIX systems, is supported to extend
security control over large user profile databases. And the
Dial-Back feature strengthens account authentication by
dialing back to the authorized telephone number. Async Server
can also be password-protected to avoid unauthorized
configuration. Choose one or combine several security measures
to make your network safer.
Enhanced Routing Solution
Low cost routing functionality is also a popular
application for the one-central-to-many-small office
environment. With MOXA SD1000 Internet Sharer installed in
remote small offices as a simple async router, Async Server
can be used in the central office as a professional multiport
serial router with embedded RIP-1/2 protocol.
CN2500 Async Server is manufactured to achieve exceptional
performance and stability, and installation and management are
easily implemented by both novice and experienced users.
