Function and Feature Specification
Asynchronous serial
interfaces
An 8AS card can provide access to a PSTN through a modem
or act as a serial port server.
Basic function An 8AS card can be used as a dialup access server for a small
or medium ISP. In this case, the asynchronous serial
interfaces provide the dial-up function.
An 8AS card can be used as a serial port server, through
which a user can log in to other devices.
Interface speed Each asynchronous serial interface provides a maximum of
115.2 kbit/s transmission rate
Protocol
l When working in protocol mode, an 8AS card supports
the PPP protocol at the link layer and IP protocol at the
network layer.
l When working in flow mode, an 8AS card does not
support any link-layer protocol or IP protocol.
