IP-MPA Multiple Protocol Access (Rel. Notes)
Contents
1. The IPMPA is initially configured by attaching the unit to a serial console via an adapter that uses the secondary interface on the DB25 connector This adapter is removed before the IPMPA is attached to the Network Element As a minimum the IP parameters require configuration to allow subsequent use of the telnet console Gr Comp 02 1 1 08 y Reseamh 8 Development Corp IP MPA Release 2 2 1 INTRODUCTION The IPMPA is designed for those situations where only one or a few ports are needed It provides an inexpensive manner to provide protocol mediation and diversity The units may be direct powered or via the 10BaseT LAN interface using 802 3af Power over Ethernet For detailed information on this product reference the User s Manual 2 PRODUCT FEATURES The IPMPA is a Multiple Protocol Inter Networking device with enhanced vertical services The IPMPA is a single port device The port may be synchronous or asynchronous with rates up to 115 2 kbps Popular protocols such as asynchronous HDLC SDLC X 25 and BX 25 are all supported interchangeably on a per port basis In addition vertical services for X 25 typically found on Embedded Network Processors have been incorporated This allows the IPMPA to directly mediate X 25 to individual circuits over TCP IP connections Consult the User s manual for a complete enumeration of the features 02 1 1 08 y Reseamh 8 Development Corp IP MPA Release 2 22.
