Asynchronous and Universal I/O Cards
Introduction Two types of I/O cards are:
• Asynchronous I/O (AIO)
• Universal I/O (UIO)
AIO Card You can use an AIO card with all 6500 PLUS processor cards. It provides six
asynchronous ports that can be configured as PAD ports. This card supports PAD
port speeds from 50 to 19200 bps and split speed operation (75 bps inbound and
1200 bps outbound) on all ports.
UIO Card You can use a UIO card with 6507 PLUS and 6525 PLUS cards. The UIO card provides
six asynchronous or synchronous ports. You can configure ports as X.25, MUX, or
PAD ports. Optionally, you can configure them to operate with synchronous access
protocols (SDLC, BSC3270, BSC2780/3780, and so on). This card supports PAD
port speeds from 50 to 19200 bps, and synchronous speeds from 1200 bps to 80
kbps.
Note
You can use UIO cards with 6505 PLUS processors if you configure them only for
PAD ports.
