Wincor (Wincor Nixdorf GmbH & Co. KG ) : ATM-Access

155 Mbit/s ATM adapter

For physically linking RM200, RM300, RM400, RM600-xxx and PRIMERGY systems into ATM high-speed networks, controllers delivering speeds of 155 Mbit/s via multimode fiber optics and for RM300, RM400 and PRIMERGY 155 Mbit/s via twisted copper lines (UTP Cat. 5) are on offer. Further, 25.6 Mbit/s via twisted copper lines (UTP Cat. 3/5) is supported for all systems except for RM600-xxx. The driver and signaling software ATM-ACCESS is necessary for RM systems running Reliant UNIX or SINIX. The software licence (right to use) for ATM ACCESS is acquired by buying an ATM controller.

• LAN emulation (client) in accordance with ATM Forum LANE V1.0 for transparent interoperation with existing Ethernet and Fast Ethernet infrastructures
• Support of all ATM-relevant MIBs (Management Information Base) for full integration into central SNMP management
• Simultaneous connection to several IP subnetworks via a single ATM link
• Support for up to 2 ATM controllers per system
