#2723/#9723 PCI Ethernet IOA (10 Mbps)
The #9723 is a base LAN option on the Model 250.
This feature provides a single attachment to one Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision
Detect Local Area Network. It consists of an adapter card and internal code, which supplies
Ethernet Version 2 and IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) plus 802.2 Logical Link
Control (LLC) functions. The Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 IOA is capable of operating in half or full
duplex mode.
The #2723/#9723 has an RJ45 connector and a 15-pin D-shell connector for attachment of
customer-supplied cabling. A vendor AUI Ethernet cable or RJ45 twisted-pair cable must be
ordered separately. RJ45 cabling for 10 Mbps must be CAT-3 or CAT-5, if CAT 5 is used,
because then it meets or exceeds Industry Standard EIA/TIA T568A or T568B. It occupies one
PCI card slot.
If #2723/#9723 Ethernet IOA is selected to be run on an #2866 Integrated Netfinity Server,
one Specify #0221 (Ethernet on Integrated Netfinity Server) is required for each #2723/#9723
ordered.
The #9723 is mutually exclusive with #9724 and #9738 as a base LAN controller.
#2815 PCI 155 Mbps Unshielded Twisted Pair ATM IOA
This feature allows the AS/400 system to be attached to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM) network using the Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP-5) interface. This interface is intended
for connection to both local area switches and direct connection to service provider
equipment. The #2815 is typically used where 155 Mbps speeds are required over distances
of less than 100 meters. It uses one high-speed slot, but cannot be placed in the Base
System Unit. It attaches in slot E08 and slot E03 (where #2824 is a prerequisite) of the
System Expansion Unit (#7102). Technical specifications and industry standards supported are
available at the ATM Forum Web site:

The maximum is two.
#2816 PCI 155 Mbps Multi-Mode Fiber OC3 ATM IOA
This feature allows the AS/400 system to be attached to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM) network using the Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) 62.5 micron interface. This interface is
intended for connection to both local area switches and direct connection to service provider
equipment. The #2816 is typically used where 155 Mbps speeds are required over distances
of less than 2 km. It uses one high-speed slot but cannot be placed in the Base System Unit.
It attaches in slot E08 and E03 (where #2824 is a prerequisite) of the System Expansion Unit
(#7102). Technical specifications and industry standards supported are available at the ATM
Forum Web site:

The maximum is two.
