System overview

Channel interface board and channel cable connector box—channel- attached systems only

The channel interface board, connected to the channel cable connector box, handles all IPDS communications and handshaking with PSF on the host when the NPS/IPS is receiving data over a channel. (It is not used when the NPS/IPS is printing data using TCP/IP.)
