Serial Communication

Serial Communication
Each MPS server has two onboard serial ports. Serial port A is the Console port
and serial port B is connected by a null-modem cable to serial port A on the mate
MPS server. The lower ELAP or EPAP server is configured with an additional 8
serial ports in a multiport PCI serial port card.
Table C-6 depicts the Serial Port assignments for MPS Servers A and B

Modems

Dial-in Capability
MPS Server B is configured for a modem on port a001 on the 8-Port Connector
Box and supports PPP (TCP/IP). With this capability, multiple networked
applications can run across the PPP link simultaneously. PPP also requires two IP
addresses to be registered, one to the serial port on the server, and one to be
assigned to the client dialing into the server. These IP addresses are allocated on
the synchronization network.
The remote dial-in serial port will be configured as follows:
• Hardware flow control (RTS/CTS)
• 38400 bps port speed
• 8-bit data
• No parity
