LANwise for TCP/IP

LANwise for TCP/IP provides connectivity between the Clearpath/A Series and a TCP/IP network. TCP/IP is the protocol of choice in multi-vendor networks today. Until now, A Series customers had to install CP2000s, BNAv2 and a gateway implementation of TCP/IP if they wanted support for TCP/IP. With LANwise for TCP/IP, the A Series can now support multi-vendor networks without BNAv2 or CP2000s. Upstanding is the only company to offer a native implementation of the TCP/IP for the A Series. Besides eliminating the need for BNA v2 and CP2000s, a native implementation offers the user scalability and ease-of-use. The throughput of the networking is still as simple as possible. There is little that must be configured, and that is done through easy-to-use menus.

There is no need to contend with BNA OI commands, NCF, NAU translation libraries, and so on. It is not even necessary to define the hosts that require access to the A Series. For those users accustomed to other TCP/IP implementations, configuration and network diagnostics are even easier. LANwise for TCP/IP allows you to use the existing host configuration file form your Unix or PC host; there's no need to create another file. PING is included to test your network connections.

By having a consistent architecture, the LANwise products allow an A Series, with the same ASAP, and the same LAN, to support multiple protocols. With LANwise for NetWare, Upstanding allows the A Series to communicate with all the other computers in your enterprise. In addition to the basic TCP/IP transports, Upstanding offers the standard TCP/IP applications:

FTP for file transfer, Telnet for terminal connections, and LPR/LPD for network printing. An XTI-compatible API plus an A Series station to sockets mapping feature are also available for the development of client/server applications.

LANwise for NetWare

LANwise for NetWare provides connectivity between the A Series and  nodes on a NetWare LAN. LANwise for NetWare is the only native implementation of NetWare  protocols for the A Series. It is the easiest, most cost-effective means of connecting PCs to A Series. It is fully compatible with NetWare in both  local-area and enterprise-wide situations. In particular, NetBIOS is not  required. Because no front-end processor or proprietary protocol is required, LANwise for NetWare does not have a restriction on the number of sessions that can be supported.
