I/O Adapter
270 AS/400e System Handbook
addresses allowing for up to 56 attached addresses, of which only 40 can be active. When
the attached display supports address sharing, a maximum of 120 shared sessions are
supported. The #6180 requires a #2629 LAN/WAN/Workstation SPD IOP as a prerequisite.
One #6180/#9280 is allowed in slot C of the #5038 MFIOP unless the system console is
ASCII. All other twinaxial workstation IOAs must be placed in a #2629 LAN/WAN/Workstation
IOP. One IOA slot is required to support #6180/#9280.
The following table shows the feature requirements at the initial order stage.
#6181/#9381 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 IOA (10 Mbps)
The #6181/#9381 feature provides a single attachment to one Carrier Sense Multiple
Access/Collision Detect Local Area Network. It consists of an adapter card and internal code,
which supplies Ethernet Version 2 and IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC), plus IEEE
802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) functions. The #6181/#9381 is capable of operating in half
or full duplex mode at a speed of 10 Mbps.
This #6181/#9381 has an RJ45 connector and a 15 pin D-shell connector for attachment of
customer supplied cabling. An AUI Ethernet cable or RJ45 twisted pair cable must be ordered
separately. Cabling must meet or exceed Industry Standard EIA/TIA T568B.
