1 About the Access X.25/TCP Gateway
1.1 Overview
The Access X.25/TCP Gateway provides conversion of X.25 to TCP/IP and TCP/IP to X.25. X.25
logical channels are mapped to TCP/IP sockets using a comprehensive routing table that allows for full
control of call setup and recognition. Several message encapsulation methods are supported for
preservation of messages to suit a variety of applications.
Connections can be made from one X.25 port to another (X.25 switching).
Serial asynchronous and synchronous connections to TCP are also supported.
An easy to use, intuitive, web-based server is built in, requiring only a standard Internet browser for
configuration and monitoring. Context-sensitive help is available.

The first step that should be taken is to ensure that you have received all the equipment ordered and
that it has not been damaged in transit. If there are any external signs of damage, note them in writing
and contact the transport company to make a claim.
