WAN

CCP-WAN-LINK supplies the communications protocols for connecting PRIMEPOWER systems to public and private WANs

• CCP-WAN-LINK makes it possible to communicate with different partners using multiple protocols over a single network interface on a communications controller.
  
• CCP-WAN-LINK supports the TCP/IP, SNA and X.25 native protocols. Multiple protocol support is especially useful for X.25, allowing different partners over one X.25 network interface.
  
• PRIMEPOWER systems make good communications servers since up to four WAN controllers can be supported in a system, each controller supporting up to four network interfaces.
  
• A user-friendly interface is available for configuring and operating the software. Comprehensive statistics and diagnostic and trace information are easy to generate, which helps reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO).

• CCP-WAN-LINK can be implemented practically anywhere in the world since the majority of countries support packet-switched data networks with good geographic coverage.
  
• The alternate routing facility can greatly improve system network reliability.

• Frame relay networks are offered by many different network providers. CCP-WAN-LINK supports the frame relay protocols and can thus be implemented in any such network.
  
• CCP-WAN-LINK offers a significant improvement in performance with frame relay in comparison to X.25 because there is much less protocol overhead to be transported.

• For these connections the product CCP-OSI/NEA is necessary.
