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:
■ Pentium Processor card (233 MHZ)
The Pentium processor is configured with 32 MB of (socketed) Dynamic
Random Access Memory (DRAM).
■ Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and Industry Standard
Architecture (ISA) bus interfaces.
■ Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) disk drive. Software applications run on
the IDE drive.
■ Personal Computer Memory Card International Association interface
(PCMCIA) SanDisk 10 MB hard drive (for use with PCMCIA FlashDisk)
■ A local serial port (Admin/Port B)
■ An additional serial port (Maint/Port A) for modem connection
■ Synchronous packet adjunct serial port (DCIU, reserved for future use).
■ 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.
