Distribution Panels for Asynchronous Connectivity
Distribution panels (DDPs, ADP/MDPs) can be used to expand the
connectivity between serial interface card and peripheral device. Data
communications and terminal controllers (DTCs) provide additional
serial connectivity for local or remote devices directly to the LAN. These
mechanisms are illustrated in Figure 3-2, “Serial Connectivity via
Distribution Panels or DTC.”

a. Specifying mux0 causes cio_ca0, sio, pfail, and pa to be included in
the kernel.
b. The two ports can be used for console and remote console only; card also
includes access port (AP).
c. Specifying mux4 causes lanmux0, lantty0, sio, pfail, and pa to be
included in the kernel.
d. Card also includes console and access port (AP)
e. Specifying mux2 causes sio, pfail, and pa to be included in the kernel.
f. Peripheral devices must be local (up to 15m distance); does not support
modem signals.
g. up to 1200m.
h. Peripherals may be connected locally (up to 15m) using data and modem
signals, or remotely using asynchronous modems.
i. Personality card also includes AP, SCSI, LAN. The two ports of this card
can be used for console and remote console only.
j. Personality card also includes AP, SCSI, parallel.
