6805-8204 - IBM i Model E8A PCI 2-Line WAN IOA No IOP
IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#6805) PCI 2-Line WAN IOA No IOP
(Refurbished Condition Only as of November 27, 2009)
Feature Code #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.
