Gateway 1000 Converter
JBM Electronics' Gateway 1000 (G1000) is a stand-alone or rack-mount
unit which provides protocol and interface conversion for dissimilar
networks in remote locations or at the central site. The G1000 provides
a wide range of Legacy protocol support for LAN and WAN networks
and supports the protocol and text manipulation for each device
or user.
The G1000 offers a single cost-effective, unified solution to integrate
currently installed Legacy protocol devices into new hybrid LAN/WAN
network configurations. The Gateway can eliminate multiple circuits
and improve the control of the devices in the network. The Gateway's
flexible architecture allows an installation to intermix many types
of protocols and connections in a single unit. The data from these
protocols can be transferred to any other port connections through
internal routing functions.
The G1000 supports protocol conversion and data format manipulation
on a device or port basis. Special logic determines the association
between each logical device and the physical port. The processing
options, protocol conversion and port routing are assigned to an
individual address or port through simple setup menus.
JBM can provide custom modifications to the protocols supported
by the Gateway. We can provide text manipulation, custom data translations,
unique network address mapping or specialized host application messages.
These custom modifications can eliminate the requirement for changes
in host application programs or network topologies; therefore, allowing
you quick installation and ability to run production applications
immediately.
The following
are examples of typical customer applications for the Gateway 1000:
 |
Enable Ethernet or Token Ring LAN(s) and a diverse
combination of terminals, PCs, workstations and controllers
to connect to public and/or private network services such
as Frame Relay, X.25, T1, or ISDN at both remote and host
sites.
|
|
Mix SNA serial
and LAN devices with stand-alone units like PCs or ATMs (i.e.
Branch Bank) connected to a Frame Relay Network.
|
|
Eliminate
need for remote router, or connect existing installed router for
enhanced Legacy protocol(s) support and routing to a Frame Relay
Network.
|
|
Concentrate
multiple Legacy protocol applications from one location, without
replacing existing devices. Support existing applications, perform
protocol conversion, data format manipulation, text manipulation,
custom data translation, unique network addressing, or specialized
host or terminal messaging. The port routing features can enhance
current applications support.
|
|
Custom
modifications in JBM software code will handle unique user requirements,
such as text or data manipulation, special log-in commands, host
application messages, or data translations. |
The G1000 is part of the JBM Electronics' Gateway family of scaleable
data communications products that have been designed to meet the needs
of customers' applications. From a remote office to a corporate campus
environment, you now truly have a gateway into the future!
Cost Reductions
Users
will be able to reduce current operating costs through potential elimination
of multiple or duplicate network circuits. In most cases, converting
to Frame Relay or ISDN services will increase cost savings over analog
or digital services in place today.
Software Support
In supporting
a diverse set of Legacy protocols from either a host or terminal basis,
users need not make any changes to existing or planned application(s)
software. Text manipulation, unique character translation, local polling
sequences, or special log-on sequences can all be handled.
Existing Devices
Except for
selected Network connection devices, users do not need to replace current
terminals, control units, or host level controllers. The G1000 allows
for their continued use, and in selected cases may increase their utilization
across the network.
Control/Diagnostics
With the
dynamic support offered through Telnet, SNMP and Console interfaces,
users can maintain control and integrate command, control, and diagnostics
using existing Network Management Systems.
The G1000 supports
many standard LAN, WAN and serial protocols and ships with the following:
The Gateway's protocol
support includes local polling (spoofing) of attached devices with full
Host and terminal emulation for all protocols.
JBM Electronics Company
offers a variety of field-proven software protocols
that support the vendor-defined standards. We can modify our software
to meet unique customer requirements. Examples would be text or data
manipulation, site-specific log-in commands, specialized host application
messages, or custom data translations. We will assist you in adapting
our standard protocol support to your particular needs on a custom basis.
Many different software suites are
available for the Gateways to support the legacy protocols. For more information
on these suites, click here
The G1000 can be configured through the integrated Console Port or
Telnet commands. The Console Port provides an async connection for a
terminal or PC. SNMP Traps provide notification of major events in the
Gateway.
The G1000 offers several different types of maintenance and diagnostics
features. All of the protocol-specific diagnostics are supported, such as
LUSTATS, Notify and Status and Sense Bytes. The Console Port allows for
alternate access by a remote technician so that problems can be diagnosed
and quickly addressed.
There are eight Gateway 1000 models available. The major difference
between these models is the number of expansion slots and processor
type. All of the expansion cards are compatible with the different
models (except as noted).

The G1000 uses
a distributed architecture with the processing intelligence
residing at the port. The individual port provides all of the
protocol processing and device emulation for the connection.
Once the data has been successfully received from the remote
device, the mainline processor performs the routing and switching
of the data packets. Depending on the mix of applications and
processes, different models may best fit the application. Contact
JBM if there is a question on which system to select. |
|
The G1000 application program is available for separate purchase. The
program (G1000 System) and our expansion cards can be installed in
a customer-supplied Linux system. The G1000 System allows you to standardize on the same
computer system for the entire data center. |
The G1000's distributed
architecture provides several advantages over traditional approaches:
|
The ability to intermix dissimilar
applications in a single unit.
|
|
Improved performance by distributing
data packet processing.
|
|
The ability
to minimize the impact of hardware upgrades/changes.
|
|
The flexibility
to add new technologies.

The maximum
number of cards that can be installed in a G1000 is dependent on
the number of open slots, slot type (ISA or PCI) and the way the
cards are configured in the G1000. The G1000-SPC, G1000-Quad and
the G1000-WAN4 do not use interrupts and can be used in any open
ISA slot. The other cards use interrupts and are limited to a maximum
of eight cards (in any combination) per unit. |
