Frame Relay Software Designed and Tuned to Perform
Overview
The Adax Frame Relay/PPP product suite provides simple
to sophisticated Frame Relay solutions enabling prototyping on a
workstation, field trials on servers and deployment on small to
large scale cPCI racks with no re-engineering or re-design. With
the FR/PPP suite and the Adax HDC, ATM and ACT products for direct
connect network access, developers can build low-cost, off the shelf,
connectivity solutions spanning the range of networking needs, from
simple access to sophisticated switching and routing for telecom
infrastructure.
Performance is in the Details
Three versions of the product are available:
- Host/Node for LAN/WAN gateway access; Multi-Port
Switching for switching applications and redundant or multiple network
access; and Multi-Port/Multi-Protocol Switching for multi-purpose
access and each version comes with a standard API that is consistent
across all modules.
- The Host/Node access module provides a
simple and efficient means to access the Frame Relay or PPP network.
In conjunction with an Ethernet card the FR/PPP functions as a wide-area
gateway for users on the LAN. The Multi-Port module offers a cost-effective
way to connect TCP/IP to the Frame Relay or PPP network on more
than one physical port. This Multi-Port feature provides redundant
links to one network or independent access to multiple networks.
This is especially useful for public access web sites co-located
with private corporate Intranet access on one server.
- The Multi-Port/Multi-Protocol module offers
the most economical Frame Relay or PPP network switching and routing
access available today. With this PPP module and the Adax ANC and
APC products for direct connect network access, developers can build
a low-cost, off-the-shelf, connectivity solution for sophisticated
switching and routing requirements. Automatic address discovery
(INARP) means no IP address tables to enter for Frame Relay or PPP.
Adaptive routing is available with standard RIP, GGP, BGP, EGP and
OSPF. Encapsulation of SNA, X.25 or LAPB/D is ideal for consolidating
all WAN traffic into a single FR/PPP port for cost-effective network
access. This is truly the solution for low-cost switching and routing
for high end telecom infrastructure.

Operating System Support and Adax
Protocol Controllers
All Adax products are available for PCI, cPCI and PMC architectures,
supporting Linux and Solaris Operating Systems. VxWorks, HP-UX and
IBM AIX are also supported for certain products. The FR/PPP software
operates with the following Adax products: HDC High Density Channelized
Controller for Multiple Protocols ATM Controller for Real Time Voice
and Video over AAL2; signaling and IP over AAL5; ACT Channelized
Controller for HDLC, LAPB/D and Frame Relay
Adax Software
Adax Protocol Software (APS) is a suite of products designed to
get the most out of each Adax hardware product and is supplied with
a set of common APIs enabling simple integration of the upper layers.
Adax HDLC, SS7, SCTP, X.25, Frame Relay, LAPB, LAPD and LAPV5 provide
a well-balanced, high performance, low overhead direct connection
to the network.
Fastest Time to Market
Adax provides extremely fast time to market through simplicity of
design and a modular product range. This common software interface
ensures a simple migration path and provides a flexible and portable
solution. The API’s between products remain the same preserving
the investment in the higher layer software and applications. This
compatibility enables quick upgrades to next generation requirements
and easy field upgrades to expand the capabilities of installed
systems.
