Vanguard Managed Solutions 6500 PLUS 6525PLUS Network, Concentrator, Port, Configurations

Hardware

6525PLUS Network		A 6525PLUS is a multifunction/multiprotocol packet assembler/disassembler (PAD)
Concentrator		and X.25 switch. If your node is based on the 6525, you can:
			• Have up to nine 6525PLUS processor cards in a node.
			• Have a maximum number of 54 ports per node (combination of processor
			cards, AIO, or UIO cards).
			• Have a maximum number of 54 network ports per node.
			• Have a maximum number of 53 DTE ports per node.
			• Configure any or all ports as X.25, MUX, or PAD ports because the 6525PLUS
			allows switching on all six ports. Optionally, you can configure ports to
			operate with synchronous protocols (SDLC, BSC2780/3270, and so on).
Port
		A 6500PLUS node contains only one type of processor card. For example, a single
Configurations		node may include up to nine 6525PLUS processor cards, but it cannot contain a mix of
		6525PLUS and 6507PLUS processor cards. The following table shows the port
		configurations available for the different processor cards.
	Card		Maximum Processor	Port	Port Speed	Port
			Cards Per Node	Type		Number
	6505PLUS		1	PAD	50 bps to 38.4 kbps	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
				MUX	1200 bps to 80 kbps	1, 2
				X.25	1200 bps to 80 kbps	1, 2
	6507PLUS		2	PAD	50 bps to 38.4 kbps	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
				MUX	1200 bps to 80 kbps	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
				X.25	1200 bps to 128 kbps,	1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
					optionally to 384 kbps	6*
	6525PLUS		9	PAD	50 bps to 38.4 kbps	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
				MUX	1200 bps to 80 kbps	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
				X.25	1200 bps to 128 kbps,	1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
					optionally to 384 kbps	6*
	*On 6507PLUS and 6525PLUS cards, Ports 3, 4, 5, and 6 have a maximum port speed of 80 kbps
	if configured as X.25 ports.
