Describe an access server that is designed for small to mid-sized applications.

What will be an ideal response?


Access servers for small to medium size businesses have one Ethernet NIC to connect to the network. They also have a combination of synchronous and asynchronous communication ports, for terminal, modem, public telephone, DSL, and frame relay connectivity. Smaller access servers typically have 8 or 16 asynchronous ports and one or two synchronous ports. Larger access servers are modular with slots (perhaps 10 to 20) for communications cards.
