Broadband Routers

Many industries use serial and dialup devices to pass transaction data or for monitoring & control of remote devices. With many companies and government agencies moving towards a total IP infrastructure, the need to convert serial interfaces and protocols is a must. Because of this, JBM Electronics has developed two series of units to handle any size installation:

The C110 Series with up to three ports.
and
The C3000 Series with up to eleven ports.

Why JBM Electronics?

JBM Electronics’ IP Gateways are truly unlike any other networking equipment, since we use the power of Linux as an operating system. This industry standard operating system offers many advantages, giving our customers flexibility and functionality not found in any other product. A full set of Linux security features is incorporated in the Gateway. Furthermore, the Gateways provide all of the processing capabilities that you need to interface terminal devices to the host system, including custom headers, data manipulation and special routing. The Gateways’ fallback and management capabilities allow the units to be quickly integrated into existing networks and management systems.

JBM Electronics has been supplying communications devices since 1980. Our units have helped many large networks adapt to changing requirements with advanced, cost-effective solutions. The IP Gateways are the newest product, which build on our library of protocols and management tools.

The C112 also supports Legacy sync protocols such as bisync or SNA/SDLC.

Security
All of the JBM Gateways have a full range of Linux security features including SSL client/server, IPSEC VPN client/server, Manual or Dynamic Keys, 3DES encryption, Network Address Translation (NAT), transparent bridging mode, IP and Port filtering, and intrusion protection with an integrated Stateful Inspection Firewall.

Router Functionality
The Gateways offers full IP routing functionality supporting Static, RIP, OSPF, and BGP routing. The Gateways support DHCP, DHCP client, PPP, and PPPoE for broadband users.

Compatibility
Compatibility is never an issue with the Gateways since JBM uses all standards based protocols. Interoperability between JBM and other router/VPN vendors is fully supported.

Fallback Routing
One of the Gateway's key features is the ability to perform fallback routing. Fallback routing enables a user to configure alternate paths to the host or to several hosts for disaster recovery. The fallback path can be to a different IP server or with a properly equipped Gateway, through a different connection such as a cell or dial modem.

Management
The JBM Gateways can be configured through a GUI from a web browser or a CLI Command entered via console port or Telnet or SSH. Both connections provide command, control, and monitoring of the Gateways. SNMP is supported with SNMP Traps providing notification of major events in the Gateways. SSH is also supported for security of the management connection. Extensions to the Telnet or SNMP commands are available as a special order.

Dial-Tone Support
The Dial-Tone circuitry provides a dial tone for dial-only async devices. This dial tone simulator and associated modem allows for a simple, non-disruptive connection to a dial only device. The Gateway can route the data based upon the data or phone number dialed (DTMF recognition). This connection supports both legacy async protocols and async PPP.

IP Header Manipulation
Unlike many competitors, the Gateways support Data and Header manipulation allowing seamless access into many host systems. This important, customizable feature allows the customer to change the content or format of the IP headers. This capability gives the customer the flexibility to connect to any transaction processor or host system.

Data and Phone Number Routing
In addition to the header manipulation, the Gateways can perform routing based upon the dial phone number or specific data fields. The routed message, built with the processor-specific header, can be sent to the remote destination. This capability allows the Gateway to support many unique processors with all of the conversion occurring at the network's edge.

Protocol Conversion
All of the JBM Gateway products support protocol conversion, and when it comes to protocol conversion, JBM is the industry leader with over 50 different protocols in our software library. Protocol conversion is necessary when converting a host to IP or introducing a new Transaction Switching System. Our Gateway products provide our customers with a seamless and non-intrusive migration to IP. The IP Connector Series routers support conversion of most financial async protocols.

The C112 supports many sync protocol devices, including bisync and SNA/SDLC in both host and terminal modes.
