New intelligent “Internet Service Appliance” has Linux inside
Jan 29, 2001 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — viewsFilanet Corporation has announced its latest Internet Service Appliance, the InterJak 200. The device is basically a compact, integrated, and cost-effective system (with Linux inside) that makes it easy for small and remote offices to share Internet access, files and printers, and LAN/WAN network services. It provides a variety of “big company network” features — including a wide range of shared Internet access options as well as standard and optional network services.
The system, which contains a Filanet-designed custom system-on-chip processor running a Filanet-developed embedded Linux operating system, functions as a full-featured LAN networking device that supports IP routing, network address and port translation, DHCP client and server capabilities, and file and print sharing.
Highly flexible external expansion is via the combination of dual USB ports and dual IEEE 1394A (FireWire) ports. “Plug and play” support is provided for a long list of printers and hard drives, along with a growing variety of other external devices. A wide range of WAN options from V.90 and cable modems to ADSL, SDSL, and ISDN are supported. Additionally, the system includes a pair 10/100 Ethernet ports which can be used for internal Ethernet LAN, optional WAN connectivity, and DMZ support. A version of the system is also offered with integrated WAN connectivity.
The InterJak 200 will be available for customer shipments in February at a list price of $645.
