device. The “S/T” interface is a 4 wire interface which is used to connect a “NT”
device to a Terminal Endpoint (TE) device. In this type of configuration, the user
can connect up to 8 TE device on one S/T bus. This type of configuration is more
common in Europe where the network normally provides the “NT” device.
Multiprotocol
Support
There is direct support for IP (Internet Protocol), IPX (Internet Packet eXchange),
Netbeui, and AppleTalk routing protocols in their native form. They do not require
workarounds and special settings (such as Netbeui over IP) to be used. Logical Link
Control (LLC) bridging is supported for use in IBM Mainframe and Midrange
environments.
Multiple Dial In
Client Support
Included with the 833IS are the Perle Remote Dial-In Clients for DOS and Windows
3.1. Microsoft Dial Up Networking Clients are supported for Windows 95, 98, 2000
and Windows NT. For the Macintosh user, the 833IS is compatible with Apple
Remote Access.
In addition to these standard clients, many other third party clients can be used with
the 833IS.
Advanced User
Security
The 833IS supports access protection by individual User ID and passwords.
Optionally, an external RADIUS or Novell server can be used for centralized access
management. Token authentication access systems such as Security Dynamics
SecurID and Axent can work with the 833IS to meet high security requirements.
The internal database of the 833IS supports up to 500 users, each with their own
password.
Fixed Callback and Roaming Callback are supported to meet both security
requirements and toll management.
Grouping
The 833IS's powerful grouping functions lets you:
■
Allocate connections for specific departments or have a connection always
available for the MIS (Management Information System) department.
■
Set up a group of modems that are compatible with older Dial-In modems that
require special settings.
■
Split connections into Dial-In only and Dial-Out only lines.
■
Set one group of users with a maximum Dial-In time of one hour, and another
with unlimited access time.
