6500PLUS Processor Cards
Introduction | The 6500PLUS processor card provides the main processing power in a 6500PLUS | ||
| node. There are three types of processor cards: | ||
|
|
| • 6505PLUS Asynchronous Access Server |
|
|
| • 6507PLUS Multifunctional Access Server |
|
|
| • 6525PLUS Network Concentrator |
Description |
|
|
|
6500PLUS processor cards are shipped with Single Inline Memory Modules (SIMMs) | |||
| in sockets U79 and U80. The processor card cannot operate without SIMMs. | ||
| Each processor card has six ports. You can password protect all ports on the | ||
| 6505PLUSand 6507PLUS cards and all asynchronous ports on the 6525PLUS . You can | ||
| also configure processor cards from a locally or remotely connected terminal. | ||

|
The 6505PLUS is an asynchronous packet assembler/disassembler (PAD). If your node | |||
Asynchronous | is based on the 6505PLUS processor card, you can: | ||
Access Server |
|
| • Use only one 6505PLUS processor card in each node. |
|
|
| • Increase the maximum number of ports to 24 by adding up to three |
|
|
| asynchronous I/O (AIO) cards. |
|
|
| • Have only two network ports per node; these must be Ports 1 and 2 of the |
|
|
| processor card. |
|
|
| • Have a maximum number of 23 DTE ports per node. |

6507PLUS
Multifunctional
Access Server
You can use UIO cards in 6505PLUS nodes if the UIO is configured only for PAD ports.
The 6507PLUS is a multifunction/multiprotocol packet assembler/disassembler (PAD). If your node is based on the 6507PLUS processor card, you can:
•Have up to two 6507PLUS processor cards in each node.
•Have a maximum number of 24 ports per node (combination of processor cards, AIO, or UIO cards).
•Have a maximum number of 4 network ports per node.
•Have a maximum number of 23 DTE ports per node.
•Optionally, configure ports to operate with network protocols (Frame Relay, MX.25, XDLC), or with synchronous protocols (BSC 3270, BSC 2780, SDLC). Any port can be configured as an asynchronous PAD port or to operate with optional synchronous protocols.
