IPR Card
5.1 Introduction
This chapter provides installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information for the IP
Router (IPR) Card. This card is labeled as the IPR 10B2 (883060) and IPR 10BT (883160)
card on their faceplate ejector.
5.2 IPR Card Descriptions
5.2.1 IPR 10B2 and 10BT Cards Description (883060/883160)
Note: 883060 has been discontinued but is presented here as a legacy product for
convenience.
The IPR 10B2 and IPR 10BT cards are functionality the same card except the IPR 10B2 has
an Ethernet interface port and uses a coax jack for a 10Base-2 connection and the IPR 10BT
card has an Ethernet interface port and uses a modular jack for a 10Base-T connection (RJ48).
The IPR 10B2 and 10BT Cards are IPR routers that route packets based on IP destination
address. IPR routes IP datagrams between Ethernet and Frame Relay PVCs. Frame Relay
PVCs can be associated with any of the three Frame Relay ports. IPR also has provisions to
automatically forward IP packets to and from the host (CPU) IP node of the Integrated Access
System that IPR resides in. It automatically takes care of all the IP fragmentation to and from
the host (CPU) IP node.
IPRs can also be optionally connected to FRS server card (on the same Integrated Access
System), giving the option of concentrating Ethernet traffic in addition to other ports of
concentration on the FRS card. The maximum number of bytes that an IPR can handle in a
single packet is 1520 bytes regardless whether a packet arrives from Ethernet or Frame Relay
interface.
