Features
AI232 is a high-performance asynchronous network interface card used in an
AIswitch. AI232 includes the following features:
Break Propagation
AI232 supports break handling from one end of a connection to another end
regardless of the protocols used for data transport. Refer to
for details about available types of break handling.
DCD/DSR/RTS/DTR Signal Lead Control
AI232 supports user selectable disconnect on DCD low, DCD high-to-low transition,
DSR low, and DSR high-to-low transition. Additionally, AI232 allows for user
selectable connection control of DTR/RTS.
Dynamic Port Configuration
AI232 allows for configuration changes on a per port basis without resetting the card.
IRB Connectivity
AI232 communicates with other cards in the same chassis over an internal repeater
bus. It cannot communicate over the backplane with line cards that do not use the
IRB.
LAN/WAN Connectivity
AI232 supports communications with other TCP/IP devices in a LAN/WAN
environment.
Modem Control
AI232 provides full modem control and is configurable for auto-answer or dial-modem
modes.
Performance Monitoring, Maintenance, Troubleshooting
Shell and winslc commands let users handle performance monitoring, maintenance,
and troubleshooting for AI232.
SNMP Manageability
AI232 supports configuration using SNMP as well as monitoring. SNMP traps are
generated by AI232 and are sent to all the management stations that exist in the trap
table.
