Appendix E About Async Server
Async Server, also known as terminal server, remote access server and
communication server, is a multi-protocol server providing connection through
TCP/IP for serial ports. The CN2100 Async Server is a new generation of multi-
serial solution that provides a common connectivity platform to connect up to 16
serial ports to existing LAN. This solution allows async terminals, printers,
modems, remote hosts and any other serial equipment to attach to the LAN.
The CN2100 provides a wide spectrum of network protocols including TCP/IP,
PPP, SLIP, CSLIP, Telnet, Rlogin, SNMP and DNS. To be able to handle the bulky
data traffic, the CN2100 is equipped with high speed RISC (i960) microprocessor
to make perfect performance. High speed UART and LAN controller are also
incorporated to boost the overall throughput. The result is all 16 ports can be
operated at 230.4Kbps simultaneously.
The CN2100 is an ideal solution for sites requiring office automation, data
acquisition and other applications that need multi-serial connectivity onto the
LAN. The CN2100 is perfectly used as terminal server, printer server and async
device server. In addition, the CN2100 features extensive Security and Accounting
Services (RADIUS protocol) which make it a best Internet Server as well.
NPort Server can be used as an Async Server if you follow the configuration
procedure of Async Server. If you do need to run NPort Server as terminal server
or communication server other than serial control through Windows NT, you may
