Auto LANstreamer Token-Ring PCI Adapter (feature #2979)

It is designed to allow a PCI-based RS/6000 server to attach to 4 Mbps or 16 Mbp

s token-ring local area networks. The adapter automatically selects the correct

token-ring speed (4-16 Mbps). It is compatible with all IBM PS/2 Token-Ring

adapters; no new cables or network components are required.

The adapter has one connector, RJ-45. The RJ-45 connector is used to attach to

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. A 10-inch conversion cable is included

with the adapter to attach to Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling.

The following are the main characteristics of this adapter:

 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps speed (automatically set)

 Compatible with IEEE 802.5 specifications

 Full Duplex enabled

 Occupies one PCI slot

 Maximum number of adapters: 6

PCI Ethernet Adapters

Two types of PCI Ethernet adapters are supported depending on the different kind

of connections you need for your Local Area Network.

 PCI ETHERNET BNC/RJ-45 ADAPTER (FEATURE #2985)

It supports connections to 10Base2 networks via BNC connectors and to

10BaseT networks via RJ-45 connectors.

 PCI ETHERNET AUI/RJ-45 ADAPTER (FEATURE #2987)

It contains a 15-pin DIX Ethernet connector, and it supports 10BaseT networks

via RJ-45 connectors.

Both adapters provide 10 Mbps Ethernet connectivity. They adhere to the PCI

Revision 2.0 and IEEE 802.3 standards. They feature low-cost, high performance

32-bit cards. Each adapter includes three LEDs to provide status to the card's

operation and each includes auto-sense of the media connection. The controller

chip on the card contains integrated DMA buffer management for CPU and bus

utilization and look-ahead packet processing which allows protocol analysis to begin

before the end of the frame is received. It requires one PCI slot, and a maximum

of six adapters can be installed on the Model E20.

ISA X.25 Adapter (feature #2961)

The X.25 Interface Co-Processor Adapter ISA bus provides for the attachment to

synchronous data networks at speeds up to 64 Kbps.

It is important to remember that the IBM AIXLINK/X.25 LPP for AIX is a software

requirement to provide connection to X.25 packet-switched networks. This adapter

provides a single port connection to X.25 networks that will accommodate one of

the three selectable features:

 EIA-232D/V.24 interface up to 19.2 Kbps

 V.35 interface up to 56/64 Kbps
