Note: The Freeway 8800 is no longer in production. New installations should use a Freeway 3115, a Freeway 3215, or a Freeway 3415 instead.

The Freeway 8800 is a VME-based platform for large-scale installations. Its passive backplane supports up to 8 Intelligent Communications Processor boards, for a total of up to 128 serial ports per enclosure. LAN connections use standard Ethernet. Options include a SCSI hard disk and dual independent, hot-swappable power supplies with separate AC feeds.

  1. Intelligent Communications Processor boards (ICPs) manage the legacy protocols and contain serial ports that connect to the WAN. The Freeway 8800 uses ICP6000X boards.

  2. The maximum number of ports depends on the electrical interface. The larger number is the maximum ports when using the EIA-232 electrical interface. The smaller number is the maximum ports for all other electrical interfaces.
