Introduction
Overview
This chapter provides an introduction to the MPS1000. Topics covered in this chapter include:
•“Product Description,” on page 17
•“Product Features,” on page 19
•“System Features and Capabilities,” on page 20
•“Models and Accessories,” on page 20
Product Description
The MPS1000 is a WAN-LAN Data Communication Server that attaches to your local-area
network to provide wide-area connectivity. A single MPS communication server can support a
number of WAN protocols, each of which can be accessed simultaneously by multiple clients.
The MPS1000 is a robust WAN-over-IP communications server that is ideal for bringing WAN
gateway connectivity to your local area network. It provides two 10/100 Mb Ethernet ports and
four, eight, or 16 high-speed WAN serial ports, making it ideal as an intelligent WAN/LAN
bridge, WAN/LAN gateway device, or a remote WAN connectivity server. Using SNMP
management, any computer and/or workstation equipped with TCP/IP on the LAN can access
information from the MPS communications server.
The MPS1000 is designed to preserve the user's software investment; all of Performance
Technologies’ WAN Communications products enable applications developed on one to be
moved to any of the other WAN products. Its modular design supports virtually any
synchronous serial communications protocol.
Extensive Software Support
The MPS1000 is enabled with the Linux-based NexusWare® Core development environment.
With the wide acceptance and extensive number of publicly available applications and
protocols, available for Linux, system developers can bring sophisticated systems to market in
a much shorter time.
Equipped with a well-defined API, the integrated protocol suite from Performance Technologies
reduces time to market by eliminating unnecessary development efforts at the hardware/
protocol level. The depth and flexibility of the protocols offered by Performance Technologies
for our WAN hardware products enable development engineers to proceed directly to
integration and application development.
Performance Technologies' suite of WAN communications protocols provides complete WAN
connectivity solutions for Frame Relay, HDLC, LAPD, X.25 and Radar Receiver/SBSI
protocols. Operating system support for the MPS1000 includes Solaris™/UNIX®, Windows
XP®, and Linux®.

Feature Rich Hardware
The MPS1000 is designed as a fully programmable communications system capable of
sustaining high data rates for a variety of protocols used in synchronous communications.
The MPS1000 utilizes single or dual Motorola MPC8255 PowerQUICC™ II communications
microprocessors. In a dual configuration, one of the processors is configured as the Master and
the other is configured as the Slave. The default mode of operation uses the Slave processor
with its CPU core disabled, leaving the CPM active for serial communication.
Two external Ethernet PHYs are offered to provide Ethernet redundancy. The MPS1000 will
automatically switch over to the secondary Ethernet PHY if link is lost on the primary PHY.
The MPS1000 supports eight or sixteen identical, individually programmable, synchronous
serial I/O ports. The ports are capable of electrically interfacing to V.35, RS442 (EIA530 or
RS449) and RS232 equipment. Each port is brought out in groups of four to an 80-pin
connector that supports Performance Technologies quad connection hydra line of serial I/O
cables.
A four-port version of the MPS1000 is capable of interfacing to EIA530 and RS232 equipment.
Each port is brought out to a DB25 male connector on the rear of the unit. No hydra cables are
required.
With rack-mountable or freestanding configurations, the MPS1000 provides the power to
handle full load network traffic, and communicates via TCP/IP with clients on the LAN.

Multi-Networking Protocol Capabilities
With the multi-protocol architecture of the MPS, standard and custom protocols supplied by
Performance Technologies can coexist on the same server with protocols you developyourself.
A single MPS server provides the unique combination of WAN and LAN protocols you need,
giving you an integrated networking solution.
Product Features
The MPS1000 comes in three versions: four port, eight port, or sixteen port. The four-port
version can be upgraded by the user to become an eight-port version. The eight-port version
can be upgraded by the user to become a 16-port version. Photographs of the 4-port MPS1000
and the 16-port MPS1000 can be seen in “Front and Rear Features,” on page 24. The
highlights for each version are listed below.
Four-Port MPS1000
A four-port MPS1000 has the following attributes:
• 4 high-speed WAN ports - up to 2.0 Mpbs bi-directional, simultaneously

• One 233 MHz Motorola MPC8255 PowerQUICC II processor
• 128 MB shared DRAM
• 32 Mbyte application flash PROM
• 512 KBytes boot PROM
• SNMP (Basic MIB II) support allowing MIB Browser or SNMP management of the server
Note: See “Upgrading a 4-Port Version to an 8-Port Version,” on page 40 for information on
upgrading.
Eight-Port MPS1000
An eight-port MPS1000 has the following attributes:
• 8 high-speed WAN ports - up to 2.0 Mpbs bi-directional, simultaneously
• Two 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports
• One 233 MHz Motorola MPC8255 PowerQUICC II processor
• 128 MB shared DRAM
• 32 Mbyte application flash PROM

System Features and Capabilities
Each MPS1000 is a 1U-high WAN-LAN data communications server that attaches to your
local-area network to provide wide-area connectivity. The MPS1000 contains one or two
CPC358s, octal synchronous serial communication processors, which can be preloaded with
one or more protocols.
For more information about the CPC358 or RTM258, refer to the CPC358 Octal Synchronous
Serial Communications Processor Hardware Manual.
Models and Accessories
Table 2-1, “PTI Part Numbers for MPS1000 Versions and Accessories,” on page 21 lists the
PTI RoHS part numbers for the MPS1000 versions and accessories required to operate the
