Bisync Application
The Express 5200 can be used to connect IBM 3780/2780 (see IBM
manual number GA27-3004-2) bisync controllers and a host across
a frame relay network. Point-to-point and multi-point configura-
tions are supported at speeds up to 19.2 kbps. The LLC protocol
(mode 2) is used to provide a reliable transport layer across the
frame relay network. In a multi-point configuration, the
Express 5200 performs local spoofing, minimizing traffic across the
frame relay network. Sample network illustrations for both
point-to-point and multi-point are shown in Figure 4-3 and Figure
4-4.
See Table 4-3 for an example configuration of the multi-point
application.
