SiGnet RB1000 Remote Bridge
- Interconnects remote Ethernet Segments into one LAN
- Transparent Filtering and Forwarding
- Protocol Independent
- TCP/IP, DECnet, Novell IPX
- Self-Learning of Ethernet Addresses
- Plug & Play Installation and Operation
- Low Cost / High Performance Solution
Ei SiGraf's SiGnet RB1000 Remote Ethernet Bridge provides an affordable low cost / high performance
solution for interconnecting remote LAN segments to form a single transparent network environment,
based on Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standards. The SiGnet RB1000 interconnects Ethernet segment over
slip, or proprietary SiGp (HDLC like).
The Bridge operates at the data link layer, filtering and forwarding traffic according to Ethernet
addresses. The operation of the Bridge is transparent to all higher level protocols such as TCP/IP or
Novell IPX , DECnet or ISO.
The Bridge uses an automatic self-learning algorithm to build LAN tables of local and remote nodes.
There is no need to preconfigure or load the Bridge's address tables with the specific Ethernet nodes
connected to the LANs. Configuration and operation of the Bridge is totally automatic and does not require
the involvement of an operator or system manager.
The SiGnet RB1000 is a low cost, highly reliable, high performance Remote Ethernet bridge. Its
performance is limited only by the speed of the communications link.
The SiGnet RB1000 is a plug and play device. Network configuration is automatic, enabling simple
installation, and operation without operator intervention. No special traning is needed. Once the SiGnet
RB1000 is installed, it begins operating automatically.
On its front panel SiGnet RB1000 has a LED indication for providing continuous display of LAN activity,
system status and link activity.
