5.1.5 ATM Adapters
In this section, information on the available ATM adapters is provided.
5.1.5.1 PCI TURBOWAYS 155 UTP ATM Adapter (# 2963)
The TURBOWAYS 155 PCI UTP ATM Adapter provides dedicated, 155 Mbps
full-duplex connection to ATM networks over either permanent virtual circuits
(PVC) or switched virtual circuits (SVC). This adapter enables TCP/IP to run
over an ATM network with Category-5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP). It also
supports communication with devices located on an ATM network or bridged
to a token-ring, Ethernet, or other LAN.
5.1.5.2 PCI TURBOWAYS 155 MMF ATM Adapter (# 2988)
The TURBOWAYS 155 PCI MMF ATM Adapter provides direct access to ATM
networks. The TURBOWAYS 155 PCI MMF ATM Adapter provides dedicated
155 Mbps full-duplex connection using PVCs or SVCs and enables TCP/IP to
run over an ATM network. The adapter also supports communication with
The AIX Device Driver diskette is shipped with the adapter.
Limitation: A configuration using more than one SysKonnect FDDI adapter
(# 2741, # 2742, or # 2743), where any one of them is feature # 2743
(SysKonnect SK-NET FDDI-UP SAS PCI), constitutes a Class A system.
NIM is supported on this system using FDDI on AIX Version 4.2.1 and later.
