A '''network access server''' ('''NAS''') is a single point of access to a remote resource.
 
==Overview==
A NAS concentrates dial-in and dial-out user communications. An access server may have a mixture of analog and digital interfaces and support hundreds of simultaneous users. A NAS consists of a [[communications processor]] that connects asynchronous devices to a [[LAN]] or [[Wide area network|WAN]] through network and [[terminal emulation]] software. It performs both synchronous and asynchronous routing of supported protocols.
