Description

The FarSync XOT Runtime has been developed to provide high performance and very reliable XOT connectivity for Linux. The FarSync XOT Runtime inter-operates with the FarLinX X25 Gateway and other XOT devices, this can allow a complete X.25 network to be replaced except for the final connection to the host. The diagram above illustrates this. There are 2 main APIs, a Sockets based interface and a Java API. There is also an APIs to the ISO Transport layers (ISO 8073 - connection oriented). A comprehensive Developers Toolkit is included with the product. The API as compatible with the FarSync X.25 APIs. FarSync XOT Runtime is supported on Linux kernel versions 2.6, including the leading distributions supplied by Redhat, SuSE, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu, Slackware, Fedora and others. Multi-processor, 32 and 64 bit systems are supported. FarSite is committed to supporting the FarSync XOT products on new versions of Linux as they are released. The source code for the driver and the libraries for the API are supplied with the product. The FarSync XOT Runtime inter-operates with the FarLinX X25 Gateway and other XOT devices, this can allow a complete X.25 network to be replaced except for the final connection to the host.

The XOT extension allows applications using the same API to transmit data over XOT (X.25 over TCP/IP). TCP/IP is normally routed over Ethernet on PCs and Servers. The XOT support is compatible with FarSite's FarLinX X25 Gateway and also other manufactures XOT products. The XOT and X.25 interfaces can be used simultaneously. The FarSync XOT Extension for Linux is available under product code FS9508, it should be ordered at the same time that the FarSync X25 card is purchased, although a retrofit is possible.
