6805-8205 - IBM i Series E4B, PCI 2-Line WAN IOA No IOP

IBM i Series 8205-E6B (#6805) - PCI 2-Line WAN IOA No IOP

Feature #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.

Connection | With an IOP | IOPless |

-----------------------------|---------------|-----------|

Asynchronous Connection: | | |

PPP (Point to Point Protocol)| Yes | Yes |

ASC (Async) | Yes | Yes |

FAX | Yes | Yes |

| | |

Synchronous Connection: | | |

Sync PPP | Yes | Yes |

BSC (Bisync) | Yes | Yes |

SDLC | Yes | No |

X.25 | Yes | No |

FR (Frame Relay) | Yes | No |

The #6805 supports SNA only if configured with an IOP. If SNA is required in an IOPless environment, IBM i Enterprise Extender supports SNA over a LAN Connection and encapsulates the SNA frame within a TCP/IP frame.

The following self-configuring cables provide the physical connections to #6805:

#0348 - V.24/EIA232 20-Ft PCI Cable

#0349 - V.24/EIA232 50-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)

#0353 - V.35 20-Ft PCI Cable

#0354 - V.35 50-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)

#0356 - V.36 20-Ft PCI Cable

#0358 - V.36 80-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)

#0359 - X.21 20-Ft PCI Cable

#0360 - X.21 50-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)

#0365 - V.24/EIA232 80-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)

#0367 - Operations Console PCI Cable

Note: The #0367 cable ships with a 25 pin to 9 pin adapter. Multiple #0367 cables may be ordered (but only one per #6805) to serve as consoles for secondary partitions when Logical Partitioning is utilized.

When #6805 is selected to support ECS, one of following cables must be specified:

#0348 V.24/EIA232 20-Ft PCI Cable

#0349 V.24/EIA232 50-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)

#0365 V.24/EIA232 80-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)

#6805 does not support remote power-on.

IOPs are not supported on POWER7 systems.
