AWAN Access Server Models
Table 1-1 lists the AWAN access servers that are currently supported by Compaq. Model
numbers that contain an “R” are no longer sold by Compaq because all AWAN access
server models now contain the appropriate software for optimized use on NonStop
Kernel Himalaya systems. Beginning with the G06.03 release, all the necessary
firmware is bundled with the standard units, 3883, 3884, 3885.
Beginning with the G06.05 release, all new AWAN access servers have serial numbers
that begin with the letter “Q.”
Note. The products described in this manual can be ordered directly from the Tandem Division
of Compaq Computer Corporation by calling the Compaq customer number 1-800-4TANDEM.
