Remote Access ISDN 2PRI/24IV.90 Modems - Product Overview

Applicable to: World-Wide

• Product Publications page.

The IBM ISDN Primary Rate Adapter is a dual-port adapter with integrated modem support for remote access servers. The ISDN Primary Rate card provides a scalable modem based on the daughter card design. The ability to scale number of modems installed is a requirement from the European market which has less dependency on analog remote access due to the predominance of ISDN. The ISDN Primary service is the predominant method used by Internet service providers and corporations installing remote access equipment. The integrated modems are a shared resource between the two primary ISDN ports creating a virtual modem pool. The North American version comes fully populated with 24 integrated modems giving a total of 48 channels of ISDN access to share the total access. The ISDN Primary Rate card allows customers to implement a remote access concentrator with industry standard modem technology and innovative IBM technology.

Features include:

• High-performance interface maximizes Netfinity CPU power for application usage.
• V.90 modem digital termination
• ISDN up to 128 Kbps
• Implements remote access servers using non-proprietary hardware and software
• Provides broad range of connection options for extending customer's LAN networks to the remote access users
• Single supplier for platform and network interface attachment
• Increases eNetwork functionality
• Provides single service capability for both analog and digital call termination
• Supports 96 simultaneous users under Microsoft NT Remote Access Server
