Multiplexer Overview
The Advanced Communications Controller (ACC) Subsystem is an
intelligent serial communication product for HP e3000 Workstations
and Servers. It provides a high performance Wide Area Network (WAN)
platform for customers who have large synchronous and asynchronous
networks. A complete HP ACC subsystem consists of both the
multiplexer hardware and ACC software. This manual describes the
8-port PCI ACC Multiplexer hardware. This multiplexer is compatible
with the Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) format. Refer to the
manuals provided with your ACC software products for information on
the ACC software.
