CYGNUS 1121

Networking Terminal Server (NeTS)

FEATURES

Single box solution for connecting dumb terminals and ethernet
compatible devices such as Thin Clients, ATVMs, PCs at a remote
station to central PRS/UTS servers over a TCP/IP WAN.

Built-in features to aid in PRS-UTS integration

WAN ports
 4 WAN ports with support for standard routing protocols
 Standard WAN interface: V.35/RS232. Optionally, on up to 2
ports: E1 or ISDN-S (in lieu of V.35/RS232) for direct connection
to telecom circuits

Asynchronous terminal ports:
 8 or 16 terminal ports, supporting TELNET and RLOGIN
 Ability to open multiple simultaneous sessions. This allows and
operator to open sessions with both PRS and UTS applications,
and to switch between them without terminating any of them,
thus facilitating PRS-UTS integration
 "Implicit" connection facility allows terminal ports to be automati-
cally connected to specific applications at power on
 Separate answer back codes for each session enhance security

Eight 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX ethernet ports, with built-in programmable
switch and VLAN support

User friendly menu based supervisor for easy configuration and quick
deployment.

Diagnostic and monitoring facilities include port level diagnostics,
statistics and status reports, and a comprehensive set of indicators.

Support for centralised management through SNMP/Telnet.

19 inch rack mountable.
CYGNUS 1121 Networking Terminal Server (NeTS) is the ideal remote
station connectivity solution for Railways PRS and UTS networks. User
equipment such as RS232 terminals, chart printers, PCs, Thin Clients,
automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVMs), etc., at remote stations
can easily and conveniently be connected to central PRS and UTS
servers using NeTS. With features that facilitate integration of PRS and
UTS, this standards compliant box is a cost effective alternative to
solutions which require a terminal server, LAN switch, router and
modems at the remote site to provide connectivity.
RS232 terminals and serial printers can be connected to the NeTS'
Terminal Ports. PCs, ATVMs and Thin Clients can be connected to its
10 Base-T/100 Base-TX compatible ethernet ports. WAN ports of the
NeTS can inter-work with standard TCP/IP routers. When deployed
with built-in telecom line interfaces on its WAN ports no external
modems are required, and the CYGNUS 1121 is in fact the only
communication equipment required at the remote site.
Using NeTS, you can get a new remote site up and running quickly
and simply. You avoid the interconnecting cables between separate
boxes and need only one power cable and power outlet. Operations
staff need to learn to monitor, diagnose and troubleshoot only one box.
A single box solution is more reliable, saves housing space and
tremendously simplifies management of spares inventory. Deployment
of CYGNUS 1121 therefore saves not only upfront costs, but also
reduces the cost of life cycle ownership.
NeTS can be used in point-to-point or networked topologies. By
connecting its multiple WAN ports to links from one or more telecom
providers you can set up fault tolerant path redundant topologies.
