3.2. AIXLink X.25 Software
Under AIX, using the X.25 communication controller requires the AIXLink X.25 software.
The software supports TCP/IP as well as IBM specific API and applications such as X.25 API and
SNA Server. It includes an SNMP proxy agent and MIB support for X.25 and LAP-B statistics of the
X.25 Communication Controller. It also includes an X.3, X.28 and X.29 PAD function for attachment
of asynchronous terminal and devices.
This software is dedicated to support the X.25 protocol on the 2-Port Multiprotocol PCI Adapter for
the PL220T, PL400T, T610 and PL600T.
3.3. 4-Port Multi-protocol Serial I/O Adapter (DCCG098)
The
4-Port Multi-protocol Serial I/O Adapter
is a high end SDLC and X.25 adapter which provides
a very powerful SDLC and X.25 offer at a moderate pricing. It consists of a card that supports 4 ports
with either V.24 or V.35 or V.11/X.21 physical interface. Each port can run either SDLC or X.25 and
its physical interface type is software selectable.
The
4-Port Multi-protocol Serial I/O Adapter
is fully integrated in the Bull communication offer:
•
TCP/IP, XTI, XX25
and
OSI
applications run and have access to X.25 networks through this
adapter. This board can support up to 1024 virtual circuits per port according to stacks capabilities
(Escala E & T only).
•
SNA/20
applications can run and have access to SDLC network through this adapter (Escala E & T
only).
The adapter can support up to 2500 frames/sec (with frame size = 128 Bytes) according to stacks
capabilities.
