Gateway Series Overview

JBM Electronics has specialized in interface and protocol conversion since 1975. Our product lineup provides features and functionality specifically designed for the networking needs of the financial and Point of Sale (POS) industry. The JBM Gateways are low-cost, Linux-based routers with many features not found in other networking products. All of the Gateways share a common processor architecture and operating system. The only difference between the units is the form factors, port type and port density.

OVERVIEW

All of the Gateways share the same core functions. The only difference between models is the size of the unit and number and types of ports. The Gateways are Linux-based routers with a range of security and application features, including:

    • Security (VPN, IPSec, 3DES and SSL transport and a full Stateful packet inspection Firewall)
    • Protocol Conversion (Convert any protocol to TCP/IP)
    • RAS Server for concentration of many async dial devices
    • Text Insertion of Transaction Data for Security DVRs
    • Industry-specific applications (for example - ATMs)
    • Enhanced Network Management
    • Optional Software capabilites
 NOTE:

If you have a question on the best Gateway for your installation, review the Protocol Selection Guide or contact us to discuss your application in detail.

Major Functions
Standalone
Async to Ethernet conversion for RS-232C and dial-only ATMs and POS terminals. An optional modem can be added to some of the models for fall back. Other models support bisync and SNA devices.
Rack-mount
Multiport Routers
Standalone
Converts async, sync and SNA devices to TCP/IP. Available in One, Three and Five port versions with full edge conversion of the Legacy protocols.
Frame Relay Routers
Standalone

Converts async, sync and SNA devices to TCP/IP for transmission over a Frame Relay networks. There are three models of these Gateways, one with support for internal or external DSUs.

Data Center Routers
Standalone
Rack-mount

Designed for data centers, transaction processors, and financial institutions. The G1000 is an open chassis system that supports both JBM-designed cards as well as industry standard cards. The G1000 provides circuit concentration, interface conversion, protocol conversion, IP and data-sensitive routing, RAS server capabilities, and statistical analysis of transaction data.
