An interface is provided to attach a vendor-supplied UPS which provides the ability to tolerate a large range of power quality problems. Significant reduction in power requirements on the 9404 makes a UPS more cost effective.

Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS)

Problem determination is accomplished through devices and features that, wherever possible, detect, isolate and report their own errors. For cases when automatic recovery or isolation is not possible, a process known as Problem Analysis and Resolution (PAR) is provided which includes extended diagnostics for isolating the failure to a part or list of parts. The failing unit may then be ordered and replaced on-site. The Analyze Problem command will allow the customer to define perceived problems not reported by the system.

When the failure has been analyzed and isolated to a single part or parts, the communications facilities of the electronic customer support can enable a direct link to IBM Service. This results in a service representative being dispatched with the appropriate part to resolve the problem.

The 3494 Tape Library Dataserver Models L12 and L14 offer the high reliability and high availability features of the Model L10 with the added support of the 3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem Model B1A. This allows customers to automate tape data handling with the latest technology. The ability to support the 3490E and 3590 technology in the same library offers customers a fast and convenient way to manage these tape medias.

Using Backup Recovery and Media Services/400 (5763-BR1) Version 3 Release 1 or later, the 3494 provides automated system backup and recovery. Use of this product along with an IBM Services Offering is optional, but recommended.

3494 Highlights:

The 3490E-CXA and 3590-B1A tape drives within the library attach to the AS/400 in the same way as the 3490E-CXX and 3490 B1A tape drives. On the AS/400, one EIA 232/V.24 Line Adapter or a LAN attachment is required for each 3494 Tape Library.

Maximums: See AS/400 Model Summary tables.

3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem

The 3590 is a new automated tape subsystem for the AS/400, reaching higher levels of reliability, capacity and performance. The drive rate of 9 MB per second is three times faster than previous IBM 3480, 3490 or 3490E tape drives, allowing tape applications to read and write data more quickly. Using the built-in data compression capability, the 3590 has a potential maximum throughput of 20 MB per second. Actual throughput is a function of end-to-end system capabilities including processor, DASD, bus, IOP, OS/400 blocking and data compaction.

The 3590 uses new read/write and media technology for vastly increased capacity and reliability. The new cartridge has an uncompacted data capacity of 10 GB, or typically over 30 GB assuming a 3:1 compaction ratio. The capacity of an individual drive has further been increased by the addition of the Automatic Cartridge Facility (ACF), which allows an operator to mount ten cartridges at a time via a magazine. Thus an individual drive can provide storage for 100 to 300 GB of data. The 3590 cannot read or write 3490E tape cartridges.

The 3590 is available in two models. The Model B11 is rack mounted and includes a 10-cartridge Automatic Cartridge Facility (ACF) that can be used in random access mode as a mini-library. The Model B1A does not include the ACF and is designed to fit into the 3494 Tape Library Dataserver, increasing total library capacity to over 90 terabytes.

The 3590 attaches to all AS/400 DXX and later models, except the X02 and P03 models, using AS/400 Feature #6501 (Magnetic Media Subsystem Controller). Each feature #6501 can support up to two tape drives. The 3490 has two SCSI ports and can be shared between two systems.

Backup Recovery and Media Services/400 (BRMS/400) is recommended to support automation in tape handling, media management, fast search, and automatic migration of data between tape and DASD based on user defined policies. For developing unique applications, OS/400 provides a command interface.

7208 8-mm External Tape Drives

The 7208 is an 8-mm helical scan, medium performance, high capacity, streaming tape drive with models supporting media capacity of up to 7.0GB per cartridge. The Model 2 (Withdrawn from marketing) provides 2.3GB capacity. When hardware data compression (HDC) on the IOP is enabled, it typically provides 1.5 times improvement in capacity and transfer rate. The 7208 Model 12 provides 5GB capacity and the Model 222 provides 7GB. Both Models 12 and 222 support an implementation of IBM's Improved Data Recording Capability (IDRC) that typically provides a two times improvement in capacity and transfer rate.

Both 7208 models are stand-alone, table-top devices, and can be used for save/restore, alternate IPL, program interchange and 8mm cartridge tape interchange with other AS/400 systems. Kits for rack-mounting are available via RPQ 841997 for the Model 2 and RPQ 841998 for the Model 12. The 7208 attaches to the AS/400 via Removable Media Device Attachment Feature (#2621). This feature supports up to two tape devices.

Full interchange of data is supported between Models 002, 012 and 222, the 9427 and the AS/400 Advanced Series internal 7GB 8mm tape units, using the proper tape density and 7208-002/012/222 tape media. All models use the same media and cleaning cartridges. The Models 002, 012 and 222 do NOT support data interchange with the 7208 Model 1 or Model 11 attached to RS/6000 systems.

The Model 2 has an instantaneous data transfer rate of 245KBps second. When HDC is enabled the unattended save rate would typically be 1GB/Hr with 3.5GB of data stored per cartridge. The Model 12 has an instantaneous data transfer rate of 500KBps. When IDRC is enabled the unattended save rate would typically be 3GB/Hr with 10GB of data stored per cartridge. The Model 222 has a sustained data transfer rate of 500KBps. Using IDRC, maximum effective data transfer rate is up to 1MBps, and capacity is up to 14GB of data stored per cartridge, depending on the type of data.

Attaches to all AS/400 Advanced Series models. Model 222 requires the support of OS/400 Version 3 Release 1. Maximums: See System Unit Summary table.

9348 Model 2 Magnetic Tape Unit

The 9348 Model 2 is a free standing table top, streaming 1/2-inch reel-to-reel tape drive. It is provided for save/restore, program distribution and 1/2-inch reel tape interchange. The 9348 Model 2 can be used for alternate IPL when attached to 9404 Models D25, E10, E20, E25, F10, F20, and F25.

The 9348 is a dual density 1,600/6250 bpi drive with an instantaneous data rate of 200KB per second at 1,600 bpi and 781KB per second at 6,250 bpi.

9427 8mm Tape Cartridge Library Models 210 and 211

The 9427 Models 210 and 211 are automated tape libraries supported on all AS/400 D, E and F models (except Models D02 and E02), and on all AS/400 Advanced Series models. The 9427-210 is a stand-alone unit, and the 9427-211 is a rack-mounted unit that requires 14 EIA units and 1/2 of the horizontal rack space. Two Model 211 units can be placed in a rack, side-by-side. Each 9427 supports one or two 7GB 8mm tape drives. Up to twenty tape cartridges are supported. Optional features to support dual host channels, tape mirroring for fault tolerance, off-line host independent functions (tape copy and compare), and a label printer port will be available. Device performance is 1.5MB/sec. The 9427 is available in black or white.

Tape cartridge capacity is 7GB and sustained data transfer rate is 500KBps. Using Improved Data Recording Capability (IDRC), maximum tape cartridge capacity is up to 14GB, and effective data transfer rate is up to 1MBps, depending on the type of data. Total 9427 capacity is up to 280GB.

The 9427 can be used for save/restore, alternate IPL (except on Models D04, D06, D10 and D20), program distribution, migration, data interchange, automatic migration of data between DASD and tape, and mass storage for data archive. Full interchange of data is supported with the 7208-002, 7208-012 and 7208-232 tape drives, and the AS/400 Advanced Series internal 7GB 8mm tape units, using the proper tape density and 7208-002/012 tape media.

Media is handled in two, ten-cartridge magazines, which can easily be added to or removed from the tape library. Each library has a bar-code reader used to inventory the library contents, and a display on the front panel that is used for status and error codes. Keys located next to the display are used for selecting operating options. The 9427 has a front door of clear plastic so that the robotics, drives and cartridge tapes can be seen while in operation. The door has a key-lock for security.

Neither the 7GB 8mm Cartridge Tape unit located in the AS/400 system unit, nor the 7208-222, can be migrated to a 9427.

The 9427 is attached to the AS/400 via the Removable Media Device Attachment (#2621), with a maximum of one 9427 per #2621. The Removable Media Device Attachment (#2621) has two SCSI ports. The 9427 can attach to the #2621 using one or two ports (two ports are required for maximum performance of the 9427). If the 9427 is attached using only one SCSI port, then the other SCSI port can be used to attach other devices. A feature is available to support attachment to two systems with random access to cartridges, tape mirroring, offline tape copy and compare, and a label printer port.

Support for the 9427 is provided by OS/400 Version 3 Release 1. Backup, Recovery and Media Services/400 (5763-BR1) is recommended to support automation in tape handling, media management, and automatic migration of data between tape and DASD based on user defined policies. For those developing unique library applications, OS/400 provides a library command interface.

5251 Model 12

The 5251 Model 12 may be used to attach remote workstations. It is a workstation controller and communications unit for remote attachment of multiple display stations and printers. PC Support access by Personal Computers and Personal System/2s attached to the 5251 Model 12 will not be supported.

Note: Remote workstation controllers attach to the AS/400 via the communications subsystem features. The 5294 or the 5394 running in 5294 emulation mode, will not give IBM Personal Computers or Personal System/2s access to IBM PC Support/400.

5294

The 5294 Remote Control Unit can be used to attach up to eight 5250 type displays, printers, IBM Personal Computers and Personal System/2s, and Personal System/55 (AP only), to an AS/400 via a communications link. The function provided will be equivalent to that available on the System/36 and System/38 with the exception that PC Support access by Personal Computers and Personal System/2s attached to the 5294 will not be supported.

5394

The 5394 Remote Control Unit attaches up to sixteen 5250 type displays, printers, IBM Personal Computers and Personal System/2s, and Personal System/55 (AP only) to an AS/400 via a communications link. The function provided will be similar to that provided to the local workstations via the #6140 or #6040 local twinaxial workstation controllers.

5494 Remote Control Unit

The 5494 Remote Control Unit manages the operation of workstations and workstation communications to the AS/400. The IBM 5494-EXT replaces the IBM 5494-001 and the IBM 5494-002. The 5494 now has only one model, to which features are added customizing the 5494 for operational needs.

The 5494-EXT supports the attachment of up to 28 twinaxial devices. With the 5494 Twinaxial Expansion Kit installed, up to 56 twinaxial devices can communicate to the AS/400 through a Type 2.1 connection.

By installing the 5494 Token-Ring Adapter, the 5494-EXT has all the functional capabilities of the withdrawn 5494-002. It can communicate with an AS/400 system over a Token-Ring network while supporting up to 28 twinaxial devices, or can support Token-Ring attached devices while communicating with an AS/400 over an SDLC, X.21, or X.25 connection. In this configuration, the 5494 supports up to 80 devices of which up to 28 could be twinaxial attached and the rest Token-Ring attached.

The Ethernet Adapter supports IEEE 802.2 logical link control and IEEE 802.3 or DIX Version 2.0 frame format using a 10BASE2 (BNC), a 10BASE5 (15-pin D-SUB), or a 10BASE-T (RJ-45) connector. The 5494 Ethernet AUI Cable allows the attachment to an Ethernet Network using thick coaxial (10BASE5) cabling. Ethernet support allows the 5494 to be used as a gateway to an Ethernet LAN or attach to an AS/400 System via an Ethernet Network.

The 5494 Utility Program allows the selection of Concurrent Diagnostics, configuration information, or to reset and restart the 5494 Remote Control Unit from a remote Programmable Workstation (PWS). The PWS no longer needs to be directly attached to a 5494 to provide access to remote 5494's from a central site.

The IBM 5494 Release 3.0 microcode supports all the functions of the IBM 5494 Release 2.0 microcode and the following enhancements:

The media used is that required for the device specified as the system alternate IPL device. The licensed internal code may also be preloaded on disk storage.

The program size of the IBM AS/400 Licensed Internal Code for the 9404 is 76.5MB.

The system console may be any supported display or IBM Personal Computer emulating a supported display or Personal System/55 (AP only) attached to the Twinaxial Workstation Controller or 5209 Link Protocol Converter or a 3151, 316X, or equivalent attached to the ASCII Workstation Controller or the 5208 Link Protocol Converter. An Apple Macintosh computer workstation may be utilized as the system console when attached to a 9404 MFIOP via the Workstation Adapter (for LocalTalk) feature. The console (display) should be located within 6 meters (20 ft.) of the operator's panel and the operator's panel must be viewable from this display. Although required, the system console is not a component of the base system unit.

Although a printer is not required for service, IBM's ability to diagnose the system and perform upgrades is greatly enhanced when a printer is available.

An IBM 5858, 7855, or equivalent modem is required for electronic customer support but is not a component of the base system unit.

Software Requirements

The 9404 B Model System Units are supported by all releases of the AS/400 Operating System/400 (OS/400).

It is recommended that all B, C, and D model systems be at Version 2 Release 1 or subsequent release and that the current level cumulative PTF package be applied in conjunction with the installed release. When performing a system upgrade, it is suggested that the IBM service support system and the Preventative Service Package are checked to ensure that required PTFs are available for installation.

OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 and later includes programming that provides for the detection of processor model changes on the 9404, via the use of a 16-character system password. The purpose of the system password is to identify all model changes to help maintain the quality and integrity of the system and to insure the protection of IBM's intellectual property, including IBM Licensed Internal Code and Licensed Programs. After the installation of OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 or later, the system will require a single entry of the system password when a system model change is performed.

There are also rare service conditions that may require re-entry of the system password. If the password must be entered and it is not known, the customer or service representative can select to operate in system password bypass mode. This will allow time to contact the marketing representative, who must obtain the correct system password by placing an RPQ order. If the correct system password is not available and the bypass period expires, the system will not complete the next IPL until the correct system password is provided. In an emergency (system down situation), IBM service can obtain the system password by contacting the ABS Product Support Center.

For more details on the system password, see the "System Operator's Guide," SC41-8082.

The multilingual features provide only those parts of the licensed program that are translated. The non-translated materials (programs, for example) are provided only with the basic machine-readable materials which must also be installed in order to enable the multilingual support to work.

9404 installation, model conversion, and optional feature installation will be done by an IBM service representative.

Electronic Customer Support

The modem used for electronic customer support must conform to the following technical specifications:

The following electronic customer support connectivity is supported using the IBM 7855 9600bps modem in locations where the IBM Information Network (IIN) and the following facilities are available:

The electronic customer support modem presently shipped with the system in European, Mid-East, and African countries is a 5858, CDS or a PTT mandated modem. Also, the use of the 7855 in these countries is dependent upon PTT homologation.

Special Feature Codes -- Chargeable

Optional Non-Communication Features

The following optional features may be added to the 9404 models. All are available when initially ordered and as field upgrades except as noted. The IBM service representative is responsible for installing all upgrades and optional features. Four card slots are available in the 9404 System Unit. Five additional card slots are available in either the #7100, #7110 or #7120 Expansion Units.

When ordering features, it is necessary to consider the number of card slots required by the feature and the number of card slots available in each model. The main storage slots are fixed. Any of the four card slots can be used for I/O expansion. The number of I/O cards that can be attached to each model is listed in the description of the feature.

When an on-line configurator is available for ordering a 9404 System Unit, the configurator will automatically handle the card slot count considerations for initial orders. If the order is to be placed without the use of this type of configurator, then the guidance provided in the feature descriptions should be used to configure a system.

(#2620) Cryptographic Processor:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 31, 1999)

The Cryptographic Processor feature performs cryptographic functions based on a hardware implementation of the ANSI standard Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the RSA Public Key Algorithm (PKA). (The RSA algorithm was defined by R. Rivest, A. Shamir and L. Adleman.) Cryptographic applications are a cost-effective way of providing confidentiality and/or authentication and integrity assurance for many forms of valuable data. This protection is especially important in networks, which may be vulnerable to unauthorized access to data and resources. Application areas include banking, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and protection of proprietary information such as engineering drawings, customer lists, product plans, and personnel records.

Functions provided include encryption and decryption of data, authentication and verification of messages and data, creation and management of financial personal identification numbers (PINs) and management of cryptographic keys. The Public Key Algorithm supports the generation and verification of digital signatures for applications requiring positive electronic authentication of the identity of the sender of a message. The PKA function also provides efficient distribution of encrypted DES cryptographic keys.

Control of the tamper-resistant cryptographic hardware is provided through the supporting PRPQs listed below and optionally, through IBM Personal Security Cards using the IBM 4754-001 Security Interface Unit. The cryptographic functions provided conform to the IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture, are compatible with the IBM Transaction Security System, and interoperate with most DES based cryptographic products including IBM cryptographic products on MVS, RS/6000 (WT only), OS/2 and DOS and the IBM Cryptographic Support/400 licensed program (5728-CR1, 5738-CR1, 5763-CR1). Through its extensive use of industry standards, the cryptographic processor also interoperates with most other DES based cryptographic products.

This feature consists of an I/O processor card with a cable to attach a 4754-001, and a cable wrap connector (1 per system). The 4754-001, if desired, must be ordered separately.

Export authorization from the U.S. Government is required to ship this feature to countries outside the U.S. and Canada. Other countries may also regulate the export of this feature. Export licenses for feature #2620 will generally be approved for shipment to financial institutions and subsidiaries of U.S. companies. Export of feature #2628 may be approved in other cases. Check with your local export regulation coordinator for specific country requirements.

Communication over public or private Frame Relay or X.25 Networks or over point-to- point non-switched SDLC lines is possible. Feature #2666 consists of a card, a wrap connector and Licensed Internal Code. Three physical interface types are offered for connection to external Data Communications Equipment (DCE) such as Data Service Units (DSU), Channel Service Units (CSU) or multiplexers, which in turn provide connection to the communication facilities.

The physical interfaces are:

The cable type plugged into the adapter and OS/400 configuration parameters determine which of the three interfaces will be used. One of the following cables must be specified when ordering feature #2666:

Note 1: Use of this 24.4 meter (80 foot) V.35 cable restricts the maximum line speed to 64Kbps.

Note 2: Use of these longer cables requires that the attaching Data Communications Equipment (DCE) support the V.36 transmitter signal element timing Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) source signal.

If, after initial installation a change of interface type or cable length is desired, a separate cable may be ordered.

The High Speed Communications Adapter supports Frame Relay, X.25 or SDLC protocols. The specific protocol to be used is selected by OS/400 configuration commands. The Frame Relay, X.25 or SDLC code is then loaded into the adapter when the line is enabled.

The Frame Relay code load supports up to 256 permanent virtual circuits on the 9406, through one physical port. The virtual circuits can be individually configured for the following types of connections:

Logical Link Control (LLC) IEEE 802.2/ISO 8802.2 Type I (connectionless) and Type II (connection-oriented) services, provided by the Frame Relay code, allow TCP/IP and SNA sessions over these connections. Source Route Bridging function allows products on a remote Token-Ring, FDDI or SDDI LAN to communicate with the AS/400 through a remote bridge. Transparent Bridging is employed for the remote Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 LAN connections. AS/400 feature #2666 interoperates with IBM RouteXpander/2 and the IBM 6611 Network Processor for bridged connections to remote Token-Ring LANs. Interoperation with the IBM 6611 also provides a bridged connection to remote IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet Version 2 LANs. TCP/IP Forum RFC 1490 (Request For Comment - Multiprotocol Connect over Frame Relay) defines the industry standard formats used to facilitate this bridged interoperation. Support of these formats allows the High Speed Communications Adapter to also interoperate with other industry standard bridges.

(#2664) Integrated Fax Adapter:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 31, 1999)

This feature provides the AS/400 with two ports capable of transmission and receipt of facsimile data to or from a Group 3 capable fax machine, another AS/400 with an Integrated Fax Adapter, or PCs with appropriately programmed fax adapters. Feature #2664 consists of a card, a wrap cable (one per machine), two country-unique attachment couplers, telephone cables and Licensed Internal Code.

The Integrated Fax Adapter is supported by the Facsimile Support/400* licensed program offering that, until now, supported only the PS/2 LAN-based facsimile product. This program provides configuration parameters for the Integrated Fax Adapter, schedules fax transmissions between multiple adapters, and manages sending and receiving faxes to and from the adapter.

The Integrated Fax Adapter can simultaneously support two send, two receive, or one send and one receive operation. To the AS/400 system, the Integrated Fax Adapter appears as an IPDS* (Intelligent Printer Data Stream) printer for outbound faxes. Most output, including text, image, graphics and bar codes that can be printed on an AS/400 IPDS printer can be faxed via the Integrated Fax Adapter. Double Byte Character Sets (DBCS) are supported for in-bound faxes, but not for out-bound faxes.

The Integrated Fax Adapter is designed to be directly attached to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Attachment to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) may give unsatisfactory results.

Feature #2664 supports the facsimile protocols defined in CCITT Blue Book Volume VII, Fasicle VII.3 Recommendations T.4 and T.30.

Documents transmitted from the AS/400 through the Integrated Fax Adapter are limited to a maximum of approximately 30 text pages per port, per phone call. If only a single port is configured for sending Fax documents, then the limit is raised to approximately 60 text pages. Resident cover pages are counted against this limit. Feature #2664 supports the following compression algorithms in fax mode:

Feature #2664 supports the following modem standards:

Initial country support includes: USA, Canada, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Japan and Sweden. Country support is subject to approval by that country.

(#2668) AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter provides wireless connectivity from AS/400 systems to workstations or other systems connected to a wireless LAN network. With a wireless LAN connection, end-users can have roaming, portable access to the information they need, wherever they are, within the area of local wireless radio coverage. In addition, the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter may be the preferred solution in situations where wiring is expensive or impossible or where computing resource and device layouts change periodically. Support is provided for portable and stationary PCs, for specialized hand-held devices used for data collection, and for connections between AS/400 systems.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter uses an advanced technology, direct sequence, spread-spectrum radio operating in the 2.4 to 2.4835GHz band. The operating band may be narrower in some countries to meet country regulations. Spread spectrum provides excellent resistance to interference from other radio frequency (RF) sources.

Availability of this feature in any particular country is dependent on current country radio frequency regulations and certification for use by the country.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter comes with an antenna and a cable for connecting the antenna to the adapter. The area of coverage may be extended beyond the coverage provided by the antenna attached to the adapter by adding AS/400 Wireless LAN Access Points to the network via an unshielded twisted-pair wired backbone. In addition, access points may be connected without wires, acting as wireless repeaters. Each adapter or access point generates one cell of coverage area. Networks are designed to create overlapping cells to ensure consistent coverage of the area desired. The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter allows transparent seamless movement from cell to cell while maintaining a continuous host session. A site survey by trained professionals is recommended to assist in network design.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter operates with existing application software interfaces. Existing 5250 and LAN-oriented applications can use the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter without change.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter supports the AS/400 family of wireless LAN and data collection devices. This family of devices provides comprehensive connectivity solutions for attaching personal computers and data collection devices to the AS/400 in a mobile, wireless fashion. The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter also operates with the DATASPAN** 2.4GHz family of products from the Telxon Corporation. In addition to the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter, the following AS/400 wireless LAN networking devices are available from IBM:

The raw bit rate for the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter is 2Mbps, shared by all active devices in the network. The range covered by one cell in most office environments is from 100 to 300 feet in all directions, depending on the building structure, antenna type and antenna placement. Outdoors, with a clear line-of-sight between specialized antennas, a range of up to three miles may be achieved.

Communication Guidelines

The 9404 D, E and F model communications controllers and line adapters support a variety of protocols and line types:

·         Switched and nonswitched point-to-point and multipoint lines are supported. X.25 lines are full duplex. ASYNC lines can be full or half duplex.

o        X.21 SHM/MPS concurrent operation is supported for any combination of up to six lines per port group and up to six port groups with BSC, ASYNC, SDLC, and X.25 lines by the Six-line Communications Controller.

See 2700 Charts P and Q in Sales Manual pages for a list of supported networks. X.25 guidelines are:

o        X.25 circuits can be permanent or switched virtual circuits.

The ISDN Basic Rate Interface Adapter (#2605) will provide the capability to attach to voice/data transmission services having interfaces complying with the IBM ISDN architecture which interprets Recommendation ISDN (1988) of the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT). This interface support will be in conformance with the functional description contained in "Integrated Services Digital Networks Data Link Control - Architecture Reference" SC31-6826, and "Integrated Services Digital Networks Circuit-Switching Signalling Control - Architecture Reference", (SC31-6827). This ISDN feature supports attachment to the following networks:

Version 2 Release 3 of OS/400 adds support for what is commonly called ETSI/EURO ISDN. The Basic Rate Interface Adapter (#2605) now also provides the capability to attach to voice/data transmission services which comply with the guidelines specified in the following European Telecommunication Standards:

5.       Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN); User-network interface layer 3 specifications for basic call control; ETS 300 102-1

6.       Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN); User-network interface data link layer specifications application of CCITT Recommendations Q.920/I.440; ETS 300 125

OS/400 configuration parameters are used to select the Basic Rate Interface Adapter operation which is compatible with the ISDN transmission services being used.

Announcement of attachment capability for other ISDN networks, or given release levels of these networks, will depend on network availability and IBM's characterization of the network interface. Selection of additional ISDN networks for attachment will be based upon IBM's technical and business judgement in addressing the requirements of its customers. Contact your sales representative for availability in your country.

Connection to the above networks is dependent on successful completion of Type Approval. (Type Approval, as required by the network supplier, is testing to approve connection of data communications equipment to a specified network.)
