X.25 PAD
The X.25 packet assembler/disassembler (PAD) provides access to an X.25
service for devices that are not capable of loading or unloading data packets or are
not able to send and receive packets across an X.25 interface. The X.25 PAD
hardware comprises an 8-port asynchronous communications controller in the
form of a serial adapter module for the router. For information about the X.25
PAD module, see Installing and Operating BayStack AN and ANH Routers and
Installing the X.25 PAD Hardware Upgrade.
Guidelines for Working with BayRS Version 13.00
Note the following guidelines when using BayRS Version 13.00. These guidelines
supplement the instructions in the Version 13.00 documentation set.
AN/ANH and ARN Guidelines
Note the following operational guidelines when using AN, ANH, or ARN routers.
Allocating Memory on ARN Routers
Although you can change the default memory allocation on other Bay Networks
router platforms, the ARN platform does not support this “buffer carving” feature.
On the ARN, Site Manager does not support the Admin > Kernel Configuration
option, and the Technician Interface does not support the
set
command for
wfKernCfgParamEntry objects. Attempting to set wfKernCfgParamGlobMem on
the ARN results in a warning message.
Cycling Power to the ARN
To ensure a complete power cycle, Bay Networks recommends that you wait at
least 4 seconds after turning off the ARN before turning it back on.
Caution:
Cycling power to the ARN too quickly could cause an error.
