2772 And #2773 Two Line Wan Adapters - IBM i series Handbook

satisfaction. Carefully consider the performance implications of sharing resources in this
environment, because the sharing may introduce more variable performance. For critical
workloads, dedicated direct attach DASD resource can ensure more predictable
performance. Feature #2766, PCI Fibre Channel Disk Controller, for attachment into Storage
Area Networks for DASD is offered as an optional feature, when ordered with RPQ 847126.
Important note
The #6501 is withdrawn from marketing as of 31 July 2001. A #2766 Fibre Channel
Adapter supported on the iSeries with OS/400 V5R1, can be used to attach the Enterprise
Storage Server (ESS).

#2772 and #2773 two line WAN adapters

The #2772 and #2773 are basically the same interface. The #2772 is the non-CIM (Complex
Impedance Matching) version of this card. Both are 2-line WAN adapters, with two ports
(RJ11) supporting V.90 56K Async PPP and FAX applications at data rates up to 14.4K via
internal modems. Connection to the V.90 ports is via a telephone cable. Both of these
features do not support remote power on. The new cards can be used for the purpose of
Multilink. These cards need country-specific telephone cables (a minimum of one and a
maximum of two per card). Feature #2773, the Complex Impedance Matching version, is
intended for Australia and New Zealand only. Compared with the existing #4761, with eight
analog modem ports, the #2772/#2773 and #4761 both have fax capabilities, but the #4761 is
more robust in this area. This is because the #4761 handles the fax process in the card,
where the #2772/#2773 passes it off to the system. The #2772/#2773 is a good option for
those wanting to add some additional ports, but not wanting to add eight and if you do not
need V.34 synchronous support that is provided by the #4761. All cable features must be the
same on the same iSeries server.
Cable features supported with the #2772 are:
• #1010 Modem Cable-Austria
• #1011 Modem Cable-Belgium
• #1012 Modem Cable-Africa
• #1013 Modem Cable-Israel
• #1014 Modem Cable-Italy
• #1015 Modem Cable-France
• #1016 Modem Cable-Germany
• #1017 Modem Cable-UK
• #1018 Modem Cable-Iceland/Sweden
• #1020 Modem Cable-Hong Kong and New Zealand
• #1021 Modem Cable-Fin/Nor
• #1022 Modem Cable-Netherlands
• #1023 Modem Cable-Swiss
