Multi-Networking Protocol Capabilities

With the multi-protocol architecture of the MPS, standard and custom protocols supplied by

Performance Technologies can coexist on the same server with protocols you develop yourself.

A single MPS server provides the unique combination of WAN and LAN protocols you need,

giving you an integrated networking solution.

Product Features

The MPS1000 comes in three versions: four port, eight port, or sixteen port. The four-port

version can be upgraded by the user to become an eight-port version. The eight-port version

can be upgraded by the user to become a 16-port version. Photographs of the 4-port MPS1000
