Ringdale's IP Router is a device designed to ensure greater control and smoother operation of a network. Once installed, the IP Router will not stop TCP/IP running if the file server should crash.

The IP Router is a local two port Ethernet IP Router. It is simple to install and can be configured and remotely managed using the PeripheralVision software provided.

Ringdale's IP Router enables IP packets to be sent from one Network/Subnet to another on a Local or Wide Area Network - even across the Internet if required. The IP Router is configured using PeripheralVision, Ringdale's network management software tool, to create a routing table that directs received IP packets straight to the required address, giving greater control over the operation of the network and aiding the rapid transmission of data.

Internet installation would require a suitable Internet connection. A combination of Ringdale ISDN Routers and Ringdale Hubs will provide Internet connection.

PeripheralVision software comes licenced for 30 days, after which time a full licence can be purchased to continue access to all facilities of the program. This does not affect the ability to use PeripheralVision to configure the IP Router. This facility remains operational whether the software is licenced or not.
