Miniature Multiprotocol Packet Switch

RAD's SPS-3 miniature multiprotocol packet switch enables small remote branch offices easy connectivity to Frame Relay and X.25 networks. Typical applications include encapsulation of IP/SLIP over Frame Relay, transport of HDLC over Frame Relay or X.25 to Frame Relay conversion. The SPS-3 supports a data rate of up to 64 kbps per multiprotocol link.

• Supports for multiple protocols in one compact device saves on equipment costs and simplifies network management

• Cost-effective method of maintaining investment in legacy equipment

The SPS-3 is a miniature protocol converter and multiprotocol packet switch, offering users Frame Relay or X.25 connectivity. The three-port miniature packet switch is a converter for Frame Relay, X.25, HDLC, SLIP, and async.

The SPS-3 features X.25 multicasting and automatic backup.

Typical applications include:

• Encapsulating IP/SLIP over a Frame Relay network using standard encapsulation RFC 1490 or RFC 1356

• Transparent encapsulation of HDLC over a Frame Relay or X.25 network • Encapsulation of X.25 to X.25 over Frame Relay The SPS-3 miniature unit requires an external power supply.
