Our CS/3000 and CS/3100 products set the standard for top-performance multiprotocol terminal servers. Their high port density and extensive multiprotocol support provide the ideal solution if you’re looking for an economical way to connect a large number of devices to diverse hosts. In fact, the CS/3000 and CS/3100 offer a lower price per port than any other 3Com terminal server. Both servers support TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), LAT, TN3270, and OSI (Open Systems Interconnect) standards. And both are supported by 3Com’s Transcend® Remote Boot and Configuration Services Version 2.1 software, which provides a powerful, standards-based environment for central booting and configuration. By enabling you to boot and configure multiple devices from one location, Transcend Remote Boot and Configuration Services software saves you time and effort when managing large or complex terminal server networks. In sum, the CS/3000 and CS/3100 provide a rich set of features that add up to savings in connection costs, as well as time spent on administration and use.

• Multiprotocol connections for up to 48 ports let you link an extensive array of RS-232 asynchronous devices, with partial modem support

• Support for up to eight concurrent sessions per port (subject to total system limitations) provides easy access to multiple hosts

• RS-423 signal support allows terminal connections at distances up to 1000 feet (305 meters), facilitating connectivity throughout your campus

• Robust implementation of TN3270 supports Ethernet TCP/IP network connections to IBM SNA hosts

• Support for the Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) and the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) enables dial-up access to TCP/IP resources
