Hardware in the FRX6000 includes:
Three types of card: RLP (RISC-based line processor) (plus attached Line
Interface Cards), Ethernet LAN adapter, and Token Ring LAN adapter. An
FRX6000 supports up to 8 RLPS, or 7 RLPs and 1 LAN card, or 6 RLPs and 2
LAN cards.
I/O cables. (One V.35 DTE interface cable is included with the base model.)
Cabling for a local or remote Auxiliary Console (ASCII terminal).
A 19" rackmount chassis.
The FRX600 RLP, an i960 RISC-based line processor, provides serial interfaces, con-
necting various synchronous and asynchronous user devices to public or private net-
works. Each RLP supports up to seven protocols and up to 1024 simultaneous logical
terminations. (A link into one physical/logical port on an RLP and out another port
counts as two terminations.)
Each RLP supports up to two serial Line Interface Cards (LICs). The base model of
FRX6000 contains two RLPs with one LIC. (The RLP without LICs is provided to
maximize the number of protocols that can be loaded in the node; some protocols are
loaded onto one RLP but shared by all others in a node.) Other available models
include up to four LICs.
The FRX6000 supports LAN (local-area network) interfaces via one or two of these
adapters:
Ethernet (802.3) – 10baseT (RJ45/twisted pair), 10base2 (BNC/coax), or AUI
(DB15/coax)
Token Ring (802.5) – RJ45 (twisted pair) or DB9
Depending on the number of RLPs, an FRX6000 can contain one or two LAN cards
(in any combination). Each LAN card supports one LAN interface.
The 19-inch rackmount chassis includes:
1.2GB hard disk
3.5" high-density diskette drive
Two COM ports
Parallel port
VGA port
Keyboard port
