DESCRIPTION

Compact desktop design, suitable for office or

computer room environments

Provides full interface to four independent net-

works over Ethernet

nections

Independent diagnostics and test port simpli-

LED activity indicators for each connection

The IMS B300 TCPlink box is a self-contained unit

providing four links and associated system ser-

vices for connection to target subsystems. The

four links are accessed over an Ethernet network

by host development computers running SGS–

THOMSON Toolsets in conjunction with the TCP/

IP protocol suite. The unit supports the develop-

ment of programs in a network environment.

Diagnostic and monitoring facilities are provided

via a serial port on the IMS B300. This may be con-

nected to an ANSI compatible video terminal to

give interactive information displays on the unit’s

operation.
