Plus Network Control Unit through either twinax or SDLC interface ports. Up to 28 twinax terminals or up to 64 SDLC terminals are supported through a Symbol Network Control Unit using RS-232, V.35 or twinax interfaces.
Users can easily access the host through terminal emulation software.
The toolkit provides software driver support to allow the Symbol Network Control Adapter to be easily configured into micro channel or industry-standard bus computers. The kit includes network management and terminal applications development software. Transmission of data between base stations and the network control unit is at 1 Mbps. The system can be managed through the host, the network control unit or remotely through the built-in modem. Host development software, the Symbol Enabler, allows users to easily link host applications to Spectrum One and move between different hosts without rewriting the interface.
