FARSITE'S NEW FEATURE-RICH FARSYNC X.25 SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS

The latest version of FarSync X.25 software for Windows XP, 2000 and NT offers more reasons than ever to choose the FarSync range for PC based X.25 communications. In addition to the proven, worldwide tested X.25 protocol implementation at the heart of the product, there are now more ways than ever to interface to the software and some new tools that bring immediate benefits during development, deployment and ongoing support.

While the existing established, feature-rich API is still available, there is now also a com port based interface that simplifies implementation, particularly from languages such as Visual Basic. There is also IP over X.25 support included as standard for Windows 2000 and XP.

One feature that stands out in the new release is a built-in multi-port line monitor that allows all X.25 lines to be monitored in real-time. The monitor includes X.25 decode and data capture for later analysis. These features are normally only found in high-end hardware based line monitors costing more than 10 times the price of a PC based server. The assistance given by the monitor is useful during development, but can prove absolutely invaluable during deployment and end-customer support, greatly reducing the future cost of system support to systems integrators.

The new release is shipping as standard with all new cards and is also available for download at no charge to existing customers. To download the software click download here.
