Buffer boxes connect directly to your telephone system to capture call data as it occurs. Although these are primarily used in Remote Polling versions they can also be used locally where backup of call data is critical or where the computer is switched off for periods of time. A buffer box (such as the MicroBuffer) will prevent you from losing any call records should your computer need to be restarted, planned or unplanned. The NetBuffer can be used to transport serial data across your corporate LAN or WAN, eliminating the need for direct connections to data ports on your telephone switch and serial ports on your computer.

Genesis currently offers three buffer boxes designed by Scannex. One of these three buffer boxes should be able to accommodate your application's physical connection and data storage requirements.

Scannex Buffer Boxes:

MicroBuffer - The MicroBuffer is a compact, ultra-low power, RS232 buffer that automatically detects the pin out and communications format of the data source, eliminating the need for null modem cables and adapters and knowledge of baud rates or protocols. The MicroBuffer buffer box provides 1MB (12,500 records) of non-volatile flash storage. The MicroBuffer is line powered and requires no external power supplies. It can even get enough power from the serial port it is buffering.

ModemBuffer - The ModemBuffer provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for remote data collection over a telephone line using industry standard TCP/IP protocols. Collected data is buffered in a large 16MB (200,000 call records) flash memory. The ModemBuffer offers a wide range of data delivery options such as raw TCP/IP, email attachment, or via FTP. The ModemBuffer has a built in 33Kbps modem and auto pin and baud rate detection features.

NetBuffer - The NetBuffer provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for remote data collection across an intranet or the internet. Collected data is buffered in a large 16MB (200,000 records) flash memory. The NetBuffer offers a wide range of data delivery options such as raw TCP/IP, email attachment, or via FTP. The NetBuffer is capable of alerting the user of problems and also includes auto pin and baud rate detection features. During installation a standard web-browser can be used to configure the buffer box and even view NetBuffer status information (such as available storage space, etc).

Scannex is in the process of designing new configurable buffer boxes which can support up to 4 ports and 128MB of storage space.
