MPTS Gives "Thin - Clients" Access To Modem Pools

Converging Technologies® Modem Pooling for Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition (MPTS) is an add-on software product for the Microsoft multi-user environment. MPTS gives "thin-clients" access to modem pools defined on the Terminal Server, saving both time and money by eliminating the need to reconfigure the communication application before each session

Traditionally, when a "thin-client" uses a communication application on the server to make an outbound call, the user is faced with two challenges:

  First, the user must know the physical location of an available modem

  Second, the user must reconfigure the application to use the right modem

With MPTS, those worries are a thing of the past. MPTS allows the communication application to use a "virtual" modem (for TAPI aware apps) or a "virtual" COM port (for other non TAPI applications). When the modem or COM port is referenced, MPTS allocates the first available modem in the administrator’s defined modem pool.

For example, several users can simultaneously use COM1 (the "virtual" COM port) on the Terminal Server, and MPTS will connect each user’s application to a different available modem.

MPTS also supports other Terminal Server type applications. Please call pre sales support at 1-800-846-9726 for specific information.
