Optional UIP Upgrade Packages
Several optional packages can be added to the Altos System 5000 User Interface Processor (UIP).
These packages are installed at the customer’s location.
Serial Port Upgrade Package for the UIP
The AT&T Intelligent Ports Card Model 1600 (IPC-1600) provides the UIP with 16 extra
serial ports to connect to basic-feature workstations or external devices. These ports are
housed in an external cable assembly device that connected to the IPC-1600 card. If the
customer has a large network, this package may be a necessity.
This package is optional for a UIP connected to an Altos 5000 host. An IPC-1600 must be
installed on the first UIP which is connected to an Altos 15000. This installation is
performed at the customer site.
Token Ring Package
The Token Ring package provides support for customers with sites where there is an
existing Token Ring Local Area Network. The Token Ring package replaces the standard
Ethernet transport layer and supports SNMP trap importation and cut-through to X11 R4
applications. No preinstallation actions are needed for the Token Ring Network Interface
Card, but you must install the driver software and run the EISA Configuration Utility.
