Remote Token Ring Connectivity
Connecting remote users to a Token Ring network can be expensive. The cost of bridges can be justified if you are connecting large numbers of remote workstations, but this expense becomes prohibitive when only a limited number of remote workstations are being connectedóespecially if they are in a number of different locations instead of just one or two. For about the same cost as one Token Ring remote bridge, you can purchase a Token Ring Remote Access Server for your central-site Token Ring LAN. This unit offers dial-up access for up to 250 remote users via 8 async modem links. At the remote locations, you can use just async Remote PC Access Software to connect IBM-compatible PCs. This is ideal for the employee who works at home but still needs connectivity to the network at the main office. The Remote PC Access Software uses true ìremote nodeî technology, so network applications run on the remote PC as if it were directly connected. No dedicated workstation is required back at the central-site LAN. In fact, you donít even need a Token Ring adapter in the remote PC. A pair of Multi-Station Remote Extenders is equally suited for connecting small branch offices with Token Ring networks of up to 80 users over economical ISDN service. Because these Token Ring remote access products work with standard Token Ring products and donít require any special cabling, theyíre easy to install and simple to operate.
