it can be connected also directly by using an OSA token-ring adapter in the HOST and its configuration in the mainframe is similar to the CIP card on the router , they are both generated by an XCA node . there many types of OSA cards that work with both SNA and IP , they use Token Ring or Ehternet or even Fast Ethernet and GigaEthernet. their behaviour is the same as the CIP router , but the diffirent is with the router you can move some processor intsensive tasks in the router from the mainframe such as TN3270e and TCP offload. off course for both CIP router and OSA card there are some funtion that you can not use such as SNI function of FEP wich consists of routing between tow FEPs in SNA subarea environment.This needs migration from Subarea to APPN.
