Optional UIP Upgrade Packages

Several optional packages can be added to the Altos System 5000 User Interface Processor (UIP). These packages are installed at the customer's location.

Serial Port Upgrade Package for the UIP

The AT&T Intelligent Ports Card Model 1600 (IPC-1600) provides the UIP with 16 extra serial ports to connect to basic-feature workstations or external devices. These ports are housed in an external cable assembly device that connected to the IPC-1600 card. If the customer has a large network, this package may be a necessity.

This package is optional for a UIP connected to an Altos 5000 host. An IPC-1600 must be installed on the first UIP which is connected to an Altos 15000. This installation is performed at the customer site.

Token Ring Package

The Token Ring package provides support for customers with sites where there is an existing Token Ring Local Area Network. The Token Ring package replaces the standard Ethernet transport layer and supports SNMP trap importation and cut-through to X11 R4 applications. No preinstallation actions are needed for the Token Ring Network Interface Card, but you must install the driver software and run the EISA Configuration Utility.
