Gateway 500, 530 and 550 Converters
JBM Electronics'
Gateway 500 (G500), 530 (G530) and 550 (G550) are designed for users
who need to support Legacy protocol devices in an Ethernet network.
The G500 converts Legacy protocols to TCP/IP or UDP for connection to
a 10/100BaseT network or device. The G530 provides three serial ports
for protocol conversion and the G550 provides five serial ports.
The Gateways can
also interface IP-only devices to a Legacy protocol network. The Gateways
can provide terminal emulation for the IP device, providing a unique
migration path for a remote location. This capability allows an IP device
to coexist with an older protocol network.

Gateway Specifications
The Gateways
offer several advantages in customer networks, including:
 |
Converts data
from Legacy protocol devices to Ethernet, providing a migration
path to an IP-based network.
|
|
Allows
TCP/IP devices to access a Legacy protocol network.
|
|
Provides
host and terminal emulation for all polled protocols, which
allows up to 100 physical devices to be connected to one serial
port.
|
|
Offers
RIP, OSPF and BGP routing for IP data.
|
|
Converts
data from a TCP/IP device to UDP for Ethernet networks.
|
|
Provide
secure communications with optional Firewall, IPSec encryption
and VPN tunneling software.
|
|
Supports
several different types of Legacy Protocol data streams in a single
unit, with ability to route data between different serial ports
within the Gateway.
|
|
Concentrates
multiple Legacy protocol applications from one location without
replacing existing devices. Existing applications are supported
with 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 application 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 Gateways
support many standard LAN and serial protocols and ships with the following:
The Gateway's protocol
support includes local polling (spoofing) of attached devices and Client
and Server support for the IP protocols.
The Gateways can
be configured through CLI commands entered via Telnet interface. The
Telnet connection provides command and control of the Gateways. SNMP
Traps provide notification of major events in the Gateways. All of the
protocol-specific diagnostics, such as LUSTATS, Notify and Status and
Sense Bytes are supported. Extensions to the Telnet or SNMP commands
are available as a special order.
The Gateways simplify
network design by eliminating the need for network changes to handle
Legacy protocols. This can save money by using Ethernet ports on the
network device instead of serial ports. The conversion also eliminates
the need for a separate network for the legacy protocol. The configuration
management provides enhancement support for the Legacy devices. The
Gateways can help protect the investment in Legacy devices when moving
to an IP network.
The Gateway's security software
can be used to protect attached devices from unauthorized access or establish a
Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect separate locations into a secure network
using Internet connections.
