AccessBuilder 500 Features

The AccessBuilder 500 is a remote local area network (LAN) ISDN access
router, which allows geographically separate LAN workgroups and
single small office users, to connect to central computing facilities
through either, a dial-up on demand connection over the integrated
services digital network (ISDN), or a permanently connected leased line.
The AccessBuilder 500 is designed to connect a LAN (Local Area Network)
at one location with a number of other LANs at remote locations. The LAN
could comprise any number of PCs, servers or other computing equipment,
which in an office or small business environment are typically linked
together using a centrally located Ethernet hub. In order to interconnect
the LANs in different locations, the AccessBuilder 500 unit transmits
information over a WAN (Wide Area Network) service provided by
telephone carrier organizations.
