Machine Type Model 7036-P16 LAN attached remote Asynchronous node (RAN) (FC xxxx) 

The 7036-P16 is a 16-Port EIA-232 LAN Attached Remote Asynchronous Node (RAN) for use with IBM

®

 eServer™ p5 servers 

andIBM Systems. The RAN provides connectivity to asynchronous EIA-232 devices, such as modems, TTY terminals, printers, etc. 
The RAN, when used with RealPort® software from Digi-Data Corporation, will convert the serial data stream to and from attached 
asynchronous EIA-232 devices into Ethernet TCP/IP traffic. Once the data is on the TCP/IP network, a host system attached to the 
same network can treat the attached devices as if the devices were connected directly to the host system.
