򐂰 Supports half duplex operations over 10BASE2 networks via the BNC
connector
򐂰
Supports both full and half duplex operation over 10BASE-T networks via the
RJ-45 connector
Feature components
This feature order provides the following:
򐂰 Adapter card
򐂰 RJ-45 and BNC diagnostic wrap plugs
򐂰 Installation instructions
Customer supplied components
You must supply the following components for this feature:
򐂰
Network equipment such as a hub or switch required to attach to 10BASE-T
Ethernet LANs.
򐂰
All Ethernet cables.
For 10BASE-T connections, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Category 3, 4,
or 5 cabling is required. UTP Category 5 cabling is strongly suggested to
facilitate upgrades to 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN without cabling changes.
8.2.24 ATM 155 MMF adapter (F/C 2988)
The TURBOWAYS 155 ATM adapter (F/C 2988) enables TCP/IP applications to
work in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) environment. This adapter
provides dedicated 155 MB per second, full-duplex connection to ATM networks
using either Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC) or ATM Forum compliant Switched
Virtual Circuits (SVC) UNI 3.1 signalling. The adapter supports AAL-5 adaptation
layer interface and communication with devices located on an ATM network,
bridged token ring, Ethernet, or other LAN. LAN Emulation (LANE) is provided by
the AIX operating system.
Feature characteristics
This feature has the following characteristics and requirements:
򐂰
