The In-Reach series of standalone terminal servers from MRV Communications provides comprehensive serial-based connectivity for a wide range of applications. The InReach allows seamless access from local or remote locations for a variety of devices, from terminals and PCs to bar code readers and data acquisition devices. These terminal/access servers are ideal for remote and Internet access, as well as client/server or business automation applications. They are available in AC-and DC- powered versions. With models ranging from 4 to 40 ports, the InReach series offers multiprotocol support, easy-to-use management options, extensive security features, accounting and remote access capabilities.

EXTENSIVE SOFTWARE FEATURES

The In-Reach offer a cost-effective, high-performance solution designed to accommodate growth and change in a network. For example, users whose terminal servers are configured for more traditional terminal serving applications can migrate easily to newer client/server applications using remote access features. With upgradable memory and flexible, robust software features, the In-Reach series makes migrations to new applications easy and trouble-free.

Software can be loaded from a host network, or the unit can self-load using a flash memory card supplied by MRV Communications. All In-Reach can also act as a network load server for other MRV Communications terminal/access servers on the network.

REMOTE ACCESS & AUTOMATION

Because of its high-performance processor, the InReach's serial ports can reach a top speed of 115.2 kbps. This makes it ideal for remote access and business automation applications where speed of connections is essential. The IR's memory can be upgraded using industry-standard SIMMs, allowing broader use of more memory-intensive protocols, as well as support for greater numbers of users or devices.

MRV Communications terminal / access servers support earlier protocols such as SLIP and CSLIP, in addition to PPP. Security options include SecurID, Kerberos and RADIUS. RADIUS standard or RADIUS accounting information may also be transmitted to the customer's accounting database for access accounting and billing.

For customers with Apple computers, MRV Communications supports ARAP V1.0, which can be used with the Apple Remote Client V1.0 and V2.0 and Apple's CCL facility. AppleTalk zones, databases and printers on the local network are available to the remote user as if they were directly attached to the local LAN.

TERMINAL SERVER APPLICATIONS

Full terminal support for legacy applications is also provided. Ports on the standalone terminal/access servers supporting remote access applications can also be configured to operate with optional terminal server features such as TN3270, XRemote, and Telnet. This dual capability greatly simplifies the migration from host-based to client/server applications. MRV Communications terminal/access servers also allow users to share printing resources in a widely distributed heterogeneous environment that includes VAX hosts, UNIX hosts, and Novell and NT servers that support BOOTP.

The InReach series offers a rich array of local and remote management features that are accessible via full in-band SNMP or Telnet, or via Telnet to an out-of-band management port. MRV Communications has implemented support not only for standard SNMP MIBs, such as MIB I and II and the extended Character MIB for asynchronous devices, but also for a full set of MIB extensions. This allows all terminal/access server parameters to be observed and changed via any SNMP-based management system, including MRV Communications's MegaVision network management software. All MIBs can be obtained from the Internet MIB repository and compiled via standard MIB compilers for use with SNMP-based network management packages.

For UNIX users, APGEN maintains terminal/access server parameter files, converting the Local Parameter File generated on an MRV Communications server to an ASCII script file and storing the converted file on a UNIX host.
