FULL DUPLEX
All AS/400 software from Curbstone's Curbstone Sockets is full duplex. Don't talk like on a CB radio! Talk like real telephones, Full-Duplex. Either side can send to the other at any time. No mode switching or polling to slow you down and eat up CPU. Uses 0.0% CPU of the iSeries AS/400 when idle. You won't even notice it is running!

CONNECTIBLE
Connect your iSeries AS/400 via Ethernet, OR connect to any RS232 (EIA232d), RS-422, or RS-485 serial port with the optional Ethernet to Serial converter box. Real-time control of systems anywhere on your network, across buildings, streets, states, and countries. Especially handy for materials handling system control direct from your iSeries AS/400.


SCALABLE
Scalability provides stellar performance measured in tens of milliseconds for one or a hundred connections. Protocols are available to talk to any device. One middleware installation on your iSeries AS/400 can talk to an unlimited number of systems and devices.

EASY
Your application uses OS/400 standard data queues for lightening performance and the easiest integrations.

Fully supports any OS/400 language, including CL, RPG, COBOL, PL1, JAVA, 'C', or anywhere beyond. OPM or ILE programs can use Curbstone Sockets.


DEPENDABLE
Full diagnostic logging and the availability of the OS/400 Communication Trace insures easy confirmation of proper operation.

SUPPORTED
Curbstone's legendary 24/7/365 support helps you get going quickly and keep you running for those industrial-strength, mission-critical operations.


FLEXIBLE
Configures your iSeries AS/400 for client or server mode, TCP or UDP. You edit the configuration file right on the AS/400 using familiar SEU. EVERYTHING is user-configurable.

AFFORDBLE
One single license per CPU allows unlimited connections. Economical Ethernet to Serial adapters can be added at any time, anywhere on your TCP/IP backbone.
