WSN.04.09.95 HP A4217A product structure is two boards together for 712.
************
The HP A4217A product used in the model 712 is actually made up of
two boards sandwiched together.

The HP part number A2263-69539 (Code name JANUS) is a single part
number that has both an A2263-66536 and A2263-66538 sandwiched
together and takes up both backplane slots for the Optional IO and
where the Teleshare product could reside.

Whenever the A4217A is used, it is not possible to have a Teleshare
product A4021A.

Refer to the A4217A Installation Guide (HP A4217-90600) for
further configuration/installation information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The A2263-66536 is listed in several documents as LAN/RS232 module.
As far as I know (but I might be wrong) those combined addon boards as also
the LAN/X.25 can be configured only in either the one or the other way.
