Overview
JBM Electronics' Gateways are low-cost
routers designed for users who need to
interface Legacy protocol devices to a
Frame Relay network. The Gateway 900
(G900) provides one serial port, a
10/100BaseT port and a WAN port with
an integrated T1/E1 DSU
The Gateways convert Legacy protocols
to TCP/IP or UDP for connection to a
Frame Relay network. The Gateways
can also interface IP-only devices to a
Legacy protocol network. Terminal
emulation for the IP device is available,
providing a unique migration path for a
network. This capability allows an IP
device to coexist with an older protocol
network.
Applications
The Gateways offer several advantages
in customer networks, including:
Converts data from Legacy protocol
devices to TCP for connection to a
WAN network, providing a migration
path to an IP-based network.
Allows TCP/IP devices to access a
Legacy protocol network.
Provides host and terminal emulation
for all polled protocols, which allows
up to 100 physical devices to be
Converts data from a TCP/IP device
to UDP for Ethernet networks.
Provide secure communications with
optional Firewall, SSL, IPSec
encryption and VPN tunneling
software.
Offers RIP, OSPF and BPG routing
for IP data.
Provides full Frame Relay support
and complete control over the frame
network interface, including Priority
and CIR allocation.
Provides special support software for
ATMs and POS devices to enhance
error reporting and recovery.
Concentrates multiple Legacy
protocol applications from one
location without replacing existing
devices. Existing applications are
supported with protocol conversion;
data format manipulation, text
manipulation, custom data translation,
unique network addressing, or
specialized host or terminal
messaging.
Offers custom modifications to handle
unique user requirements, such as
text or data manipulation, special login commands, host application
messages, or data translations.
connected to one serial port.

Benefits
The Gateway simplifies network design by eliminating the need for network changes to
handle Legacy protocols. The conversion eliminates the need for a separate network for the
legacy protocol and protects the investment in Legacy devices when moving to an IP
network. The Gateway can help protect the investment in Legacy devices when moving to a
new network.
The Gateway’s security software can be used to protect attached devices from unauthorized
access or establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect separate locations into a
secure network using Internet connections.
Protocol Support
The Gateways support many standard LAN, WAN and serial protocols, including:
The Gateway’s protocol support includes local polling (spoofing) of attached devices and
Client and Server support for the IP protocols.

Diagnostics
The Gateways can be configured through Application Commands entered via Telnet
interface. The Telnet connection provides command and control of the Gateway. SNMP
Traps provide notification of major events in the Gateway. All of the protocol-specific
diagnostics, such as LUSTATS, Notify, and Status and Sense Bytes are supported.
Extensions to the Telnet or SNMP commands are available as a special order.
Network Diagram
This drawing illustrates a configuration using a G900. All of the Gateways provide the same
IP connectivity; the only difference is the number of serial and Ethernet devices that can be
attached.

The Gateways can be ordered with Frame Relay connections using an internal or external
DSU. The Gateway 700 provides the same port configuration as the G900 but uses an
external DSU. The Gateway 800 provides an integrated 56/64/72 KB DSU. With the frame
connection, the Gateways provide a complete router replacement with full protocol
conversion.
Frame Relay Support
The Gateway provides full support for Frame Relay networks, including:
Supports up to 100 Logical Channels (DLCIs).
Both CPE and Access Node configurations.
ANSI T1.617 Annex D, Q.933 or LMI Local Signaling.
Frame Size to 4096 Bytes.
Flow control using individual Committed Information Rate (CIR) for each DLCI.
Our Frame Relay support is certified to ISO and ITU standards by major network
laboratories. The X.25 support is certified to European NET2 standards by the ROLAND
Laboratory.
