6149 16/4 Mbps Token-Ring Ioa; 6180/#9280 Twinaxial Workstation Ioa - IBM i series Handbook

I/O Adapters and Controllers
The #2629 LAN/WAN/Workstation IOP is a prerequisite for the #2699. The #2699 takes up
one of the three slots on the #2629.
The #9699 is supported for migration only.

#6149 16/4 Mbps Token-Ring IOA

This feature provides a single attachment to either a 16 Mbps or a 4 Mbps IBM Token-Ring
Network. The feature consists of an adapter card, internal code (supplies IEEE 802.5 Media
Access Control (MAC) and IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) functions), and an
8 ft/2.44m Token-Ring cable. The 16/4 Mbps Token-Ring IOA is capable of operating in half or
full duplex mode.
The #6149/#9249 comes standard with an 2.44 meter token-ring cable. Alternatively, the
customer can attach a separately purchased twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 connection on
the IOA.
The #2629 LAN/WAN/Workstation IOP is a prerequisite for the #6149. It uses one IOA slot
and no I/O card slots.

#6180/#9280 Twinaxial Workstation IOA

The #6180/#9280 is an 8-port twinaxial workstation IOA with a 20-foot attachment cable for
attaching up to 40 5250-type displays and printers. Each port supports seven attached
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 for the initial order of the system.
