The MAPD as a PC
Because the MAPD system assembly is essentially a PC that resides in the
switch, it consists of the components you would expect to find in a PC, such as:
â– Pentium Processor card (233 MHZ)
The Pentium processor is configured with 32 MB of (socketed) Dynamic
Random Access Memory (DRAM).
â– Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and Industry Standard
Architecture (ISA) bus interfaces.
â– Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) disk drive. Software applications run on
the IDE drive.
â– Personal Computer Memory Card International Association interface
(PCMCIA) SanDisk 10 MB hard drive (for use with PCMCIA FlashDisk)
â– A local serial port (Admin/Port B)
â– An additional serial port (Maint/Port A) for modem connection
â– Synchronous packet adjunct serial port (DCIU, reserved for future use).
â– Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel for diagnostics.
The MAPD system assembly (1273 MPD) includes cabling assemblies and a
modem.
See Figure 1-2 for an illustration of the MAPD.
