F-FS4440 FarSync T4U PCI/PCI-X Synchronous Communications Network Adapter 4 Port

The FarSync T4U card and software is designed to provide high performance hardware communications solutions for business, government and the military who need a Universal PCI synchronous communications card. The product includes a low level driver that allows access to the communications features available in the hardware. The card can optionally use the host's standard TCP/IP protocol stack to allow access to IP based networks such as the Internet. The FarSync SDK provides a Developers Toolkit for the product. The card will support a synchronous line at speeds of up to 10Mbits/s continuous. The highly flexible universal network connector supports RS232C, X.21, RS530 (RS422 signaling), RS449 and V.35 network interfaces.

Linux: The low level API is based on the raw socket interface and supports bit synchronous (HDLC) framed and transparent bitstream data. The T4U card can also use the TCP/IP stack to allow access to IP based networks such as the Internet. The T4U card installs seamlessly as a plug and play device under the popular Linux 32 and 64 bit distributions. The cards supports Linux kernel version 2.4 and 2.6 in 32 and 64 bit formats, including the leading distributions supplied by Redhat, SuSE, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Slackware and more. Multi-processor systems are supported. FarSite is committed to supporting the FarSync T4U on new versions of Linux and Linux kernels as they are released. The source code for the driver is supplied with the product allowing rebuilding by the end user for use with almost any of the current or future Linux variants. Windows: The products include support for the Microsoft standard Windows SDCI API, providing applications with direct access to the card's communications port/s for bit synchronous (HDLC) framing and also transparent bitstream operation for video and voice type applications. The FarSync T4U+Async supports soft selectable asynchronous access as well. The card installs seamlessly under Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Vista and Windows Server 2008 on both 32 and 64 bit, single and multi-core systems. The FarSync drivers are signed by Microsoft for easy installation. The low level API is based on an extended SDCI interface and supports bit synchronous (HDLC) framed and transparent bit stream data. The FarSync T4U can also be installed to appear as a NDIS (LAN) interface so it can simply use the TCP/IP stack to allow access to IP based networks such as the Internet.
