(8000-ROUTER-PPP-HS)
The IPR*4 card provides a PPP or HDLC backbone for customers to extend their
communications, command and control capability in an IMACS network. This card extends
the capability of the IMACS shelf to expand the range of control in the customers private
network.
The IPR*4 card introduces to the IMACS platform a synchronous standard implementation of
PPP, RFC 1661. It also provides replacement technology for the MCC card, by the support of
HDLC links to the remote shelves.
In order to provide the Ethernet to PPP or HDLC inter-working capability, the IPR*4
10/100BT card has four modular RJ45 interface ports on the faceplate.
The software release level in the card determines the cards capabilities. The following
