•
Support for dialing into the ports using Point-to-Point (PPP), Serial Line Internet
Protocol (SLIP), and CSLIP protocols
•
Support for the following dial-in security protocols:

For most AWAN users, the information in this guide should be sufficient for setting up
an AWAN terminal for 6530 support. However, for detailed information and product
specifics, see the DNPG documentation for the corresponding base-product of the
AWAN 3886 server. It is available on the CD or can be downloaded from
(http://www.dnpg.com).
The 6530 protocol support is available on AWAN 3886 servers by installing the AWAN
3886-6530 Flash RAM card. This support includes these port AWAN types, as follows:
•
T6530 for 6530 family of terminals and emulators
•
FASTP for improved operation with non-TTAP serial printers
•
ATAP for non-standard asynchronous devices
Note. Note that origination of outgoing connections using these protocols is not
supported.
