Due to component availability and no future support for the DataFire SYNC/570i family, these products are not intended for new customers. Please contact a sales team member if you have any questions.
The Digi DataFire SYNC/570i family of synchronous WAN communication adapters is a cost-effective line of products for LAN-to-LAN, client-to-LAN and client-to-IBM host connectivity. It is ideal for branch office and enterprise solutions where two to 16 ports per server are required. As a complete hardware and software solution, the DataFire SYNC/570i provides tightly integrated remote LAN connectivity for major operating system environments including Windows NT® 4.0, Windows® 2000 and Windows XP. Additional support for other operating systems is offered by our software partners.

The DataFire SYNC/570i delivers tightly integrated synchronous remote connectivity. This WAN adapter is a cost-effective solution for LAN-to-LAN, client-to-LAN and client-to-IBM host connectivity. It is ideal for branch office and enterprise solutions where two to 16 ports per server are required.
Designed on the Hitachi HD64570 Serial Communications Adapter (SCA) chip, this high-performing synchronous adapter features Direct Memory Access (DMA)-to-shared memory architecture. The on-board 256K memory is directly addressable by the system and the DMA of the SCA.
The DataFire SYNC/570i is a complete hardware and software solution, supporting all the major operating systems. A Universal Interface Bus (UIB) enables a different interface on each port, without using jumpers or switches. Each port can report the status of modem signals and attached cables. Each interface can measure and report the speed of modems and CSU/DSUs.
DDKs for Quick and Easy Porting
Digi provides DataFire development tools to access and control protocols supported by Digi’s WAN interface adapters for platform-independent software development. All of the necessary product information to develop a program with SNA emulation, X.25 or Frame Relay can be found in the DDK.
