6805-8203 - IBM Power6 E4A PCI 2-Line WAN IOA No IOP

The IBM Power6 8203-E4A (#6805) PCI 2-Line WAN IOA No IOP

Feature Code #6805 is a 2 RVX port WAN IOA that supports multiple protocols on Asynchronous and Synchronous Mode connections

On the IBM i Operating system, the #6805 may be used either with or without an IOP.

When under an IOP, #6805 supports PPP (Point to Point Protocol), ASC (Async), and Fax protocols on an Asynchronous Connection, and PPP, BSC (Bisync), SDLC , X.25, and FR (Frame Relay) protocols on a Synchronous Connection

When the #6805 is IOPless, it supports PPP, ASC, and Fax protocols on an Asynchronous Connection, but only supports Synchronous PPP, and BSC (Bisync) protocols on a Synchronous Connection.
