Asynchronous Routing Services
Routing services enable the multiport router to route packets over LANs and WANs using
the asynchronous interfaces. A key benefit of asynchronous routing is that it provides
low-cost operation by using dialup telephone networks only when needed. Figure 1-7
shows an example network.

Protocol Translation Services
Protocol translation allows terminal services running over one protocol to be translated to
terminal services running over another protocol such as an X.25 packet PAD to Telnet
(using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol [TCP/IP]). Protocol translation on
the multiport router supports Telnet, TN3270, LAT, and X.25 PAD. Figure 1-8 shows an
example network.
