    • Protocol Stack Dynamic Link Library with X.21bis physical layer support, LAPB link layer support and X.25 packet layer support.
    • API Dynamic Link Library for C, C++, Visual Basic, Java, C#, Perl.

All the LayGO software components are bundled with Alactel's Base Station Controller software.

Custom 3612-A02 card

We frequently receive support calls from Alcatel customers who have bought the Sealevel ACB-PCMCIA card directly from Sealevel or their distributors, only to find that the WinBSC application does not work.

Please keep in mind that the card used by the LayGO® software is a customized version of the Sealevel PC-ACB-MP and that the standard card will not work. The toolkit that includes the proper card must be purchased directly from Advanced Relay (p/n SXBX-WA-ACC-2) or from Alcatel.

The following pictures show the back and the front of current Sealevel PCMCIA cards that work properly with Alcatel Win BSC software. They are either labeled Advanced Relay p/n A02-ACC-1 or Sealevel p/n 3612-A02.
