tate data transfer to and from Freeway using a standard
interface across protocols.
Freeway Freeway refers to the entire server in terms of hardware and
software. The hardware includes items such as the server pro-
cessor board and the ICPs. The software includes functions
such as server management, LAN and protocol services, and
protocol software executing on the ICPs. For a specific product
configuration, the Freeway model numbers are used (for exam-
ple: Freeway 3112, Freeway 3212, Freeway 3412, and Freeway
3612).
FTP The file transfer protocol, described in RFC-783, is used during
the boot process.
ICP Protogate’s intelligent communications processor (ICP) board
that supports serial protocols. An ICP is also referred to as a
“WAN interface processor.” The most recent ICP models are
the ICP2432B (PCIx-bus) and ICP2432e (PCIe-bus). When the
term “ICP2432” is used in current documentation, it almost
always refers to the ICP2432B model. The ICP2432 (PCI-bus)
model formerly manufactured by Simpact is obsolete. Proto-
gate often refers to this particular ICP model as the “ICP2432A”
board. Other obsolete ICP models include the ICP2424 (ISA-
bus) and the ICP6000 (VME-bus).
ICP_IP A virtual device which appears to the rest of the Freeway (and
to all client applications) just like a physical ICP board except
that it transmits and receives data via an IP network rather than
via a serial line.
