Product Information


The FarLinX X25 Gateway is the answer for handling all your X.25 to TCP/IP migration requirements. Featuring routing between TCP and X.25, TCP and XOT, X.25 and XOT, data conversion,, a Triple-X PAD, Host PAD, an extension for special POS protocols and even an X.25 switch all at a very affordable cost, the FarLinX X25 Gateway fits the bill for TCP/IP to X.25 interconnection


The FarLinX X25 Gateway product range is the third generation of X.25 Gateway products, providing a very flexible powerful gateway for your X.25 migration needs at a very affordable cost.  It incorporates all the popular features of the previous product ranges with an improved browser interface and new comprehensive set of online statistics, connection logging, active session display and status change alert functions to put you in control.

 

Features

  • TCP to X.25 data translation with a very wide variety of modes including: RFC1006, Cisco RBP, header stripping and parity conversion and many others
  • TCP <-> X.25 and TCP <-> XOT routing including: fixed routes, dynamic routing and PAD routing
  • Optional software upgrade to support the POS protocols APACS, ISO 8583, HGEPOS and CTL (Card Tech Ltd)
  • Routing of calls between XOT (X.25 over TCP/IP) and multiple X.25 lines
  • X.25 to X.25 switching
  • XOT to TCP/IP Data Routing
  • X.28 PAD option supporting Telnet access and up to 17 async lines
  • X.25 Host PAD emulation support
  • Supports routing of FTAM, X.400 and other protocols requiring ISO Transport
  • 6 Models, equipped with XOT and between 1 to 8 X.25 lines with X.25 line speeds up to 2 Mbits/s
  • Choice of X.25 Network interface connections E1, RS232C (V.24), V.35, RS530 (RS422) or X.21
  • Optional support for end to end authentication and data security over TCP/IP ensured by use of IPSEC encryption
  • High performance, non stop operation - over 3000 messages per second and over 2,000 SVC and PVC simultaneous connections
  • Dual Gateways with a shared IP address providing automatic switch over and backup for resilience
  • Easy and intuitive Graphical Configuration from your Browser
  • Current session activity display
  • Critical event SNMP alerts
  • Local or remote activity logs with a configurable level of connection and data tracing
  • Local or remote Line Monitor application or use Wireshark to view X.25 traffic for easy network problem diagnosis
  • Real time statistics of line performance, errors, connections and much more
  • Low power consumption, 1U high rack mountable all metal design
  • Gateway Firmware upgradeable in situ


The condition of the Gateway can be monitored from a browser with current line status, real time line and data statistics and real time active session activity available. There are also daily activity logs with a selectable level of detail, automatically archived on a daily basis or routed to a remote server using syslog. The SNMP support provides alerts for a number of different conditions including critical events such as line down and line up.

Dual Gateway support is available such that 2 Gateways can share a common IP address to provide automatic switch over support for a range of conditions including X.25 line down and Gateway failure. Any such failures and switchover events will generate SNMP alerts so the network operator can instantly know what's happened.

The product support protocols where the X.25 Host system treats the incoming X.25 data as a character stream. It can also convert the data when a header is used to describe the message payload within the TCP connections and remove this header on the X.25 virtual circuits. Data types supported include: RFC1006, Cisco RBP and special character delimiting. Dynamic routing is supported where the Client TCP application determines the X.25 address and call parameters used at the time the connection is established. XOT is supported so that the X.25 network can run over the top of an IP network. The Gateway can provide connectivity to several different Host systems at the same time with each having different data conversion configurations.
