AWAN Replacement Servers for DECserver 700 (16
port) and DECserver 900 (32 port)
AWAN Replacement Servers for DECserver 700 (16 port) and 
DECserver 900 (32 port)
The AWAN 3886 DECserver 700-16 and DECserver 900 have been replaced by the 
DECserver 716 and DECserver 732 due to end-of-life components in the 700-16 and 
900. The new design is identical in delivery of features. Both the DECserver 732 and 
DECserver 716 share the same design base.
Important differences between the replacement servers and the older servers are:
•
For both the DECserver 716 and DECserver 732, the power receptacle is now 
positioned on the back panel (Figure 1-4 on page 1-9). If you have other AWAN 
3886 servers rack mounted, this new design might affect your current cabling 
configuration.
•
For the DECserver 732 model (32 ports), the DECHub ONE is obsolete and not 
needed.
•
For both the DECserver 716 and DECserver 732, the latest version of DNAS 2.4 is 
needed, and at minimum, the AWAN release gem217. For more information on 
software versions and releases, see DECserver Network Access (DNAS) Version 
2.4 (or later) and AWAN 6530 Code on page 1-21. (As of August 2002, the 
minimum release (gem217) comes bundled with the CD ROM.) Note that you can 
still use a downrev Access Server Loader (ASL), 2.2 or 2.3.

AUI port on the server. Right: 10BaseT is selected; Left: AUI is 
selected.
