DEC MicroServer Configuration Guidelines
The number of DEC MicroServer ports available for use depends on the
maximum data speed you want to run on any line. However, if you have the
DEC MicroServer-SP, you have only one port to use. The following sections
contain guidelines for using the synchronous ports.
E.1 Allocation of the Synchronous Ports
The line interface that connects the DEC MicroServer-SP to the IBM SNA
network has one port for one synchronous communication link. The DEC
MicroServer-SP can support data communications speeds up to 19.2K bits
per second. Table E–1 shows the only configuration available with the DEC
MicroServer-SP.

The DEC MicroServer can support data communication speeds up to 256K
bps. The range of speeds is split into three bands. In each band specific
synchronous ports are available for use.
Table E–2 shows the three speed bands and the number of ports available in
each band and specifies which port to use.
