Freeway User Guide
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 terms Freeway 1100, Freeway 1150, Freeway
2000, Freeway 4000, and Freeway 8800 are used.
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. Freeway 1100 and Freeway 1150
support Protogate’s ICP2424 and ICP2432 processors. Freeway
2000, Freeway 4000, and Freeway 8800 support Protogate’s
ICP6000 processors. An ICP is also referred to as a “WAN inter-
face processor.”
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.
ICP-resident
software
Protogate-supplied communication protocol software or user-
customized software that runs on the ICP to process the data
stream between the ICP and the WAN devices. Refer to the
Freeway Protocol Software Toolkit Programmer’s Guide for cus-
tomized software.
