G4SA
Introduced at G06.24, the Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet adapter (G4SA) is a
multiport ServerNet adapter that provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer
rates between HP NonStop S-series systems and Ethernet LANs. The G4SA is the
only LAN adapter supported for the I/O adapter module (IOAM) enclosure, and it is
installed in slots 1 through 5 of an IOAM. Although the G4SA supersedes the Ethernet
4 ServerNet adapter (E4SA), Fast Ethernet ServerNet adapter (FESA), and the Gigabit
Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA), it cannot be installed in a NonStop S-series
enclosure.
The G4SA's software and ServerNet LAN Systems Access (SLSA) host drivers serve
the higher layer clients with the standard SLSA API, ensuring compatibility between all
existing ServerNet adapters and clients.
The G4SA supports multiple communications protocols, including TCP/IP, Expand/IP,
IPX/SPX, QIO, Port Access Method (PAM), and Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP).
The G4SA has copper interfaces that can negotiate speeds between 10/100/1000
Mbps and are compatible with other products, such as AWAN and SWAN.
This product is supported by OSM client software to facilitate diagnostics and
maintenance.
WAN Wizard Pro
WAN Wizard Pro has been enhanced to enable you to plan, install, and configure a
G4SA.
Also, WAN Wizard Pro client 4.00 is available on the HP NonStop System Console
Installer S7X-SWV1 Update 3 CD. This client version is compatible with the G06.21
and later WAN Wizard Pro server versions only. For detailed information on WAN
Wizard Pro client/server compatibility, see Support Note S04064.
