Connection to the V.90 port is by way of a telephone cable.
Connection to the WAN port is through one of the following cables:
• #0348 V.24/EIA232 20-ft PCI cable
• #0349 V.24/EIA232 50-ft PCI cable
• #0353 V.35 20 ft PCI cable
• #0354 V.35 50-ft PCI cable
• #0356 V.36 20 ft PCI cable
• #0359 X.21 20 ft PCI cable
• #0360 X.21 50-ft PCI cable
• #0365 V.24/EIA232 80-ft PCI cable
ECS and fax are not supported on the V.90 port at this time. IBM intends to support ECS on
the V.90 port in the next release of OS/400 and with a Group PTF for V4R5.
ECS operates on the WAN port of the #9771 by changing the *RSRCNAME parameter of the
QESLINE and QTILINE line descriptions to that of the WAN port on the #9771 card.
When the #9771 is selected to support ECS, one of the following cables must be specified
and connected to the WAN port:
• #0348 V.24/EIA232 20 ft PCI cable (default)
• #0349 V.24/EIA232 50-ft PCI cable
• #0365 V.24/EIA232 80-ft PCI cable
The #9771 does not support the Operations Console as the system console.
Communication WAN Restrictions
Restrictions may apply when using any of the following communications functions on a PCI
system:
• Frame Relay protocol
• IPX protocol
• X.25 with more than 16 virtual circuits per line
• SDLC protocol if used to connect to more than 64 remote sites
• Communications line speeds greater than 64 Kbps and up to 2.048 Mbps for the SDLC
or Frame Relay protocols (Bisync is always limited to a maximum of 64 Kbps)
• Asynchronous communications or Asynchronous PPP line speeds greater than 115.2
Kbps
• Non-Asynchronous Communications line speeds greater than 64 Kbps and up to 640
Kbps for X.25
