Chapter 4. Applications
Bisync Application
The FSU can be used to connect IBM 3780/2780 (see IBM manual number GA27-3004-2) bisync controllers and a host across a frame relay network. Point-to-point and multi-point configura- tions are supported at speeds up to 19200 bps. The LLC protocol (mode 2) is used to provide a reliable transport layer across the frame relay network. In a multi-point configuration the FSU performs local spoofing, minimizing traffic across the frame relay network. Sample network illustrations for both point-to- point and multi-point are shown in Figures 4-3 and 4-4.
See Table 4-C for an example configuration for the point-to-point application.
