Datakit Migration

 

DT 7000
IP-CommKitTM Host Network Interface
Do you want to retire your remaining BNS/Datakit II VCS nodes but are afraid to do so because of connected hosts running legacy applications using CommKit or IP-CommKit? Is there support or source code for your legacy applications? The solution to all these problems is here today: the DT-7000 from Datatek Applications.

THE DT-7000 SOLUTION

The DT-7000 replaces BNS node functionality and allows the completion of the migration process from a BNS network to an all- IP network. The transition is transparent to the resident legacy application(s) on hosts running CommKit or IP-CommKit and to other endpoints. 		       


WHAT IS A DT-7000?

The DT-7000 is an evolutionary design. It replaces the following BNS nodal functions:

Communication with an
IP-CommKit connected host
The node backplane
The node controller
A node’s interface to
non-CommKit/non-IP
CommKit IP endpoints

The DT-7000 enables host communication on an IP network with up to sixty-four other IP-CommKit hosts, each connected to its own DT-7000 via an IP network and with over five hundred IP endpoints. IP endpoints may include a BNS network and its associated endpoints.
       
MIGRATION STRATEGY

In order to use a DT-7000, any copy of CommKit currently in use on the host must be replaced with IP-CommKit. No changes to host application software are required, so the conversion to IP-CommKit is transparent. The host is then connected via IP to a DT-7000. The DT-7000 communicates with other endpoints in an IP network without being connected to a BNS network, with the application functionality remaining unchanged.

Key Features

Replacement of BNS Node functions
for one IP-CommKit Host.

Communication with over 500 IP
endpoints and 64 other IP-CommKit
Hosts connected to DT-7000’s.
(Endpoints can be resident on
a BNS network)

Closed User Group security for
protection of sensitive network
endpoints

Peer-to-Peer communications using
secure encryption

Extensive measurement reporting
and diagnostic capabilities

SNMP management

10/100BaseT LAN Interface

Power Over Ethernet (POE)

Redundant Power Option

  

High Availability Redundant
Failover Option

No changes required in Host application
software, operations tables, or procedures

Locate the Host and DT-7000 anywhere
in an IP network.

Host and DT-7000 do not have to be
co-located.

Easy configuration

Remotely administered via telnet
console, or locally via serial console.

Allows staged elimination of BNS nodes

Small size – frees valuable floor space.

Rack-mount in a standard 19” or 23”
frame or standalone on a shelf or table.

Requires no special cooling

No internal fans to break down
