Product Description
The IBM 576C is a specialized adapter card that provides two Wide Area Network (WAN) lines through a single PCI Express slot. This adapter is equipped with an integrated modem, which is essential for establishing communication over traditional telephone lines or other WAN circuits. The dual-line capability allows for increased bandwidth or redundancy in WAN connections, depending on the configuration and the type of service utilized. Designed for installation in servers or high-end workstations, the 576C card enables the system to connect to remote networks or the internet via leased lines, ISDN, or dial-up modem connections. The PCI Express interface ensures high-speed communication between the adapter and the host system's motherboard, which is crucial for efficient data transfer over WAN links. The integrated modem simplifies the hardware requirements by combining the serial communication interface and the modem functionality into one unit. This type of adapter is typically used in environments where reliable and dedicated WAN connectivity is required, such as for branch office connections, remote data access, or specialized communication applications. The IBM 576C offers a robust solution for adding multi-line WAN capabilities to a system, leveraging the performance benefits of the PCIe bus.
