Chapter 1 About the 6500PLUS Overview Introduction About the 6500PLUS The 6500PLUS is a family of networking devices that can operate in private networks or over public data networks. A 6500PLUS node can have from 6 to 54 ports, with terminal port speeds of up to 38.4 kbps and network port speeds of up to 384 kbps.
Software Features Software Features Introduction You can configure, administer, and troubleshoot a 6500PLUS node from a local or remote terminal acting as a control terminal. The terminal calls into the node's Control Terminal Port (CTP), a software module that acts as the logical control terminal port. In addition, configurations can be saved and restored when a PC (with Kermit protocol) is used as the local or remote control terminal.
Hardware Hardware Introduction A 6500PLUS node consists of at least one processor card, one or more optional support cards, and, optionally, a TRIM card. A node can be contained in a standalone enclosure, which can support only a processor card, or in a Modulus nest enclosure, which can support one or more processor cards and several support cards.
Hardware Enclosures and Backplanes Introduction The two types of enclosures for the 6500PLUS are: • Standalone • Modulus Standalone Enclosure A standalone enclosure (Figure 1-1) holds just one card, which must be a processor card. A standalone unit supports up to six X.25 or terminal ports depending on the type of processor card installed. Figure 1-1.
Hardware Supports Other VanguardMS Products A Modulus enclosure contains plug-in card versions of VanguardMS products, including Network Access Products, providing common housing and power to multiple products. A single Modulus enclosure can include, for example, 35xx DSU/ CSUs, 326x dial modems, or 33xx leased-line modems in addition to 65xx nodes. Types of Modulus Enclosures There are four types of Modulus enclosures.
Hardware 6500PLUS Processor Cards Introduction The 6500PLUS processor card provides the main processing power in a 6500PLUS node. There are three types of processor cards: • 6505PLUS Asynchronous Access Server • 6507PLUS Multifunctional Access Server • 6525PLUS Network Concentrator Description 6500PLUS processor cards are shipped with Single Inline Memory Modules (SIMMs) in sockets U79 and U80. The processor card cannot operate without SIMMs. Each processor card has six ports.
Hardware 6525PLUS Network Concentrator A 6525PLUS is a multifunction/multiprotocol packet assembler/disassembler (PAD) and X.25 switch. If your node is based on the 6525, you can: • Have up to nine 6525PLUS processor cards in a node. • Have a maximum number of 54 ports per node (combination of processor cards, AIO, or UIO cards). • Have a maximum number of 54 network ports per node. • Have a maximum number of 53 DTE ports per node. • Configure any or all ports as X.

From the front panel, you can reset the card, test the lights, and monitor data transmissions by observing the lights. Physically, the processor cards are identical. The ID Module of each processor card (located in socket U40) is unique and provides the functions specific to each type of processor card.
Hardware Optional FLASH Module Optionally, a FLASH memory module can be attached to a processor card to provide software distribution and software download capabilities. This optional daughtercard contains up to 3 Mbytes of nonvolatile FLASH memory and is used for remote software distribution and software download.
Hardware 6500PLUS Auxiliary Processor Cards Introduction 6500PLUS auxiliary processor cards increase throughput for 6507PLUS and 6525PLUS nodes. They provide additional processing power, as well as six additional ports. Description A 6500PLUS auxiliary processor card is a 6507PLUS or 6525PLUS processor card without a FLASH module, meaning that the card lacks software storage capabilities. Optionally, you can purchase a FLASH module for a 6500PLUS auxiliary processor card for downloading software.
Hardware 6500PLUS Asynchronous and Universal I/O Cards Introduction Two types of I/O cards are: • Asynchronous I/O (AIO) • Universal I/O (UIO) AIO Card You can use an AIO card with all 6500PLUS processor cards. It provides six asynchronous ports that can be configured as PAD ports. This card supports PAD port speeds from 50 to 19200 bps and split speed operation (75 bps inbound and 1200 bps outbound) on all ports. UIO Card You can use a UIO card with 6507PLUS and 6525PLUS cards.
