6500PLUS Asynchronous and Universal I/O Cards

Introduction

Two types of I/O cards are:

Asynchronous I/O (AIO)

Universal I/O (UIO)

AIO Card

You can use an AIO card with all 6500PLUS processor cards. It provides six

 

asynchronous ports that can be configured as PAD ports. This card supports PAD

 

port speeds from 50 to 19200 bps and split speed operation (75 bps inbound and

 

1200 bps outbound) on all ports.

 

 

 

UIO Card

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can use a UIO card with 6507PLUS and 6525PLUS cards. The UIO card provides

 

six asynchronous or synchronous ports. You can configure ports as X.25, MUX, or

 

PAD ports. Optionally, you can configure them to operate with synchronous access

 

protocols (SDLC, BSC3270, BSC2780/3780, and so on). This card supports PAD

 

port speeds from 50 to 19200 bps, and synchronous speeds from 1200 bps to 80

 

kbps.

You can use UIO cards with 6505PLUS processors if you configure them only for

 

 

 

PAD ports.
