Product Description: Features
1-2
Features
The AI296 16-port high speed multi-protocol line card provides 16 physical ports for
asynchronous or X.25 connections between NEs and OSSs in a carrier’s network.
AI296 includes the following features:
Break Propagation
AI296 supports break propagation on X.25, asynchronous, or TCP protocols. Refer to
Chapter 8: Alias and Call Routing Configuration
for details about available types of
break handling.
BX.25 Compatibility
AI296 is BX.25 compatible and supports passive links.
DCD/DSR/RTS/DTR Signal Lead Control
AI296 supports user selectable disconnect on DCD low, DCD high-to-low transition,
DSR low, and DSR high-to-low transition. Additionally, AI296 allows for user
selectable connection control of DTR/RTS.
Dynamic Port Configuration
Any X.25 or asynchronous parameter can be changed and individual links can be
reconfigured without resetting AI296. X.25 and asynchronous parameters take effect
after disabling and then re-enabling the affected link.
EIA Lead Signaling
AI296 can program the disconnected and connected states of EIA signals and toggle
the leads. The system can use EIA signaling to simulate modem style access to host
computers. These signaling options provide a secure and flexible connection to any
asynchronous host or modem port. Refer to command staeia on page 9-89
for more
details.
IRB Connectivity
AI296 communicates with other cards in the same chassis over an internal repeater
bus. It cannot communicate over the backplane with line cards that do not use the
IRB.
Line Monitoring Diagnostics
X.25 line monitoring diagnostics are available from the shell connection. Refer to
command diag-line on page 9-46
for more details.
