The hardware that makes up a TN Interface is categorised as follows:

• PC Chassis
• Connectivity Cards

PC Chassis

The PC chassis is the physical hardware that sits between the source(s) and destination(s) that a TN Interface provides connectivity, data conversion and data processing for.

If any FunAsset connectivity cards are required to provide a physical connection, FunAsset must supply the PC chassis. If not, a PC that conforms to the required minimum system requirements can be used.

FunAsset PC Chassis'

There are three FunAsset PC chassis', each characterised by the number of source and destinations they can connect, the PC specification, operating system and software supplied:

• TN3000
• TN6000
• TN8000

TN3000
For connecting a single source to a single destination within an MS-DOS operating environment.

NOTE: Multiple source and destinations can be handled but the Tasks for each combination must be operated independently.

TN6000
For connecting a single source to a single destination within a Windows NT, 2000, 2003 or XP operating environment.

NOTE: Multiple source and destinations can be handled but the Tasks for each combination must be operated independently.

TN8000

NOTE: SpoolQ is also installed in order to provide output management and distribution.

Connectivity Cards

In order to provide a physical connection between a source and a TN Interface and a TN Interface and a destination, connectivity cards are installed within the PC chassis. Depending upon the type of connection, these cards will be custom ISA cards designed by FunAsset and/or standard "off the shelf" PCI network cards.

For an indication of whether a particular source or destination connection requires a FunAsset or standard card, please refer to the supported connections page.
