The SuperStack
Advantage
3Com's SuperStack system gives you
a simple, cost-effective connectivity
solution for local, wide area, and SNA
networks. With SuperStack, you can
combine diverse technologies and net-
work services in one stacked system,
strengthen it with redundant power
and resilience, and manage it all with
Transcend management software.
A single SuperStack system provides
connections for a range of LAN envi-
ronments: Ethernet, 100BASE-T Fast
Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and ATM.
Depending on your needs, you can build
SuperStack systems for virtually any net-
work environment. Capabilities include:
• Flexible, cost-effective connectivity
for Ethernet or Fast Ethernet work-
groups with SNMP management
• Industry-leading physical layer sup-
port and RMON management for
Token Ring networks
Hubs
Switches
Routers

WAN/SNA Host
• Support for the multiple functions
and technologies needed in diverse
floor distribution environments
• Ethernet, FDDI, and ATM switching
that boosts performance in high-
speed client/server LANs
• Full multiprotocol network access for
users calling in from personal offices
or other off-site locations
• Routing between central site and
branch offices using innovative
Boundary Routing ® architecture or
conventional routing software for mul-
tiple WAN choices, including ISDN
• SNA-to-LAN conversion linking local
and remote offices to an SNA host
system
As an important part of 3Com's High-
Performance Scalable Networking archi-
tecture, SuperStack is designed to meet
the demands of growth and technological
change— allowing you to future-proof
your network investment as you go.
