MultiModemISI Hybrid Series, ISIHP-2S/2U/4S/4U/4SD 9
Communication Protocols for ISIHP Ports
Ports on the ISIHP card can be associated with different protocols, as
follows:
Auto-Protocol. Modem or terminal adapter automatically negotiates
with host to operate using the hosts current protocol.
Central Site Modem. Common designation for analog modems built
into the ISIHP card. These are V.90 modems. For the ISIHP-2S/2U,
the last four modems should be designated as Central-Site modems;
for the ISIHP-4S/4U, the last eight modems should be designated as
Central-Site modems. (See Port/Device table on previous page.)
MultiLink PPP async. This protocol allows the functional bundling
together of three WAN ports so they function as a single high-
bandwidth data pipeline using only one IP address. Bundling occurs
on demand when the needed bandwidth exceeds that available on a
single circuit.
PPP async. (Point-to Point Protocol, asynchronous) Protocol
allowing computers a dial-up connection to the Internet. PPP includes
error detection, data compression and other improvements over Serial
Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) connections.
V.120. Terminal rate adaptation protocols. These apply to ISDN B-
channels when using a V interface. This protocol includes V.110.
X.75. An international standard that allows X.25 packet-switched
networks to communicate with each other. X.75 is a gateway protocol
for interconnection of X.25 public networks.
