IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#6805) PCI 2-Line WAN IOA No IOP</p><p>(Refurbished Condition Only as of November 27, 2009)</p><p>Feature Code #6805 is a 2 RVX port WAN IOA that supports multiple protocols on Asynchronous and Synchronous Mode connections</p><p>On the IBM i Operating system, the #6805 may be used either with or without an IOP.</p><p>When under an IOP, #6805 supports PPP (Point to Point Protocol), ASC (Async), and Fax protocols on an Asynchronous Connection, and PPP, BSC (Bisync), SDLC , X.25, and FR (Frame Relay) protocols on a Synchronous Connection</p><p>When the #6805 is IOPless, it supports PPP, ASC, and Fax protocols on an Asynchronous Connection, but only supports Synchronous PPP, and BSC (Bisync) protocols on a Synchronous Connection.</p><p> Connection | With an IOP | IOPless |</p><p> -----------------------------|---------------|-----------|</p><p> Asynchronous Connection: | | |</p><p> PPP (Point to Point Protocol)| Yes | Yes |</p><p> ASC (Async) | Yes | Yes |</p><p> FAX | Yes | Yes |</p><p> | | |</p><p> Synchronous Connection: | | |</p><p> Sync PPP | Yes | Yes |</p><p> BSC (Bisync) | Yes | Yes |</p><p> SDLC | Yes | No |</p><p> X.25 | Yes | No |</p><p> FR (Frame Relay) | Yes | No |</p><p> </p><p></p><p>The #6805 supports SNA only if configured with an IOP. If SNA is required in an IOPless environment, IBM i Enterprise Extender supports SNA over a LAN Connection and encapsulates the SNA frame within a TCP/IP frame.</p><p>The following self-configuring cables provide the physical connections to #6805:</p><p>#0348 - V.24/EIA232 20-Ft PCI Cable</p><p>#0349 - V.24/EIA232 50-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)</p><p>#0353 - V.35 20-Ft PCI Cable</p><p>#0354 - V.35 50-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)</p><p>#0356 - V.36 20-Ft PCI Cable</p><p>#0358 - V.36 80-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)</p><p>#0359 - X.21 20-Ft PCI Cable</p><p>#0360 - X.21 50-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)</p><p>#0365 - V.24/EIA232 80-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)</p><p>#0367 - Operations Console PCI Cable</p><p>Note: The #0367 cable ships with a 25 pin to 9 pin adapter. Multiple #0367 cables may be ordered (but only one per #6805) to serve as consoles for secondary partitions when Logical Partitioning is utilized.</p><p>When #6805 is selected to support ECS, one of following cables must be specified:</p><p>#0348 V.24/EIA232 20-Ft PCI Cable</p><p>#0349 V.24/EIA232 50-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)</p><p>#0365 V.24/EIA232 80-Ft PCI Cable (support only, not orderable)</p><p>#6805 does not support remote power-on.</p><p>Attributes provided: two RVX comm ports</p><p>Attributes required: one 3V PCI/PCI-X slot</p><p>For 8204-E8A: IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#6805)</p><p>Minimum required: 0</p><p>Maximum allowed: 81 (Initial order maximum: 81)</p><p>OS level required: IBM i V5R4 with V5R4M5 Machine Code, or later.</p><p>Initial Order/MES/Both/Supported: Both</p><p>CSU: Yes</p><p>Return parts MES: No</p><p>Note: Maximum of 2 supported in CEC under IBM i.
