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.
