Packet switches

PS200 tactical packet switch

The PS200 is a multi-protocol access unit designed for use with the CPX200 tactical switch (line switches). The PS200 provides packet switched data services for end user equipment such as Local Area Networks, X.25 DTEs or computers with asynchronous or synchronous serial ports. The unit supports a wide selection of data rates and offers interfaces compliant with standards such as EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-422, V.24/V.28, V.11/X.21, X.25 and ISO 8802.3.

This 19" rack mountable unit has Ethernet and Serial port interfaces easily accessible at the front.

Protocol support includes X.25, X.75, Frame Relay as well as the TCP/IP protocol suite.
