14 of 145
SmartCell Switches
The 9A656-04 SmartCell switch module is a
single-slot, hot-swappable modules for the
SmartSwitch 9000. Each module provides 4.5
Gbps of ATM Switching fabric with 64K cell
output buffers that provide priority queuing and
the ability to communicate with other
SmartSwitch 9A656-04 modules via a unique Cell
Transfer Matrix (CTM) backplane.
Each switch module holds up to four ATM
Network Interface Modules (ANIMs). There are
several different ANIMs available for these
modules that provide interfaces ranging from 45
Mbps up to 622 Mbps. ANIM options include DS-
3/E-3 over coaxial cable, OC-3 over unshielded
twisted pair, multi and single mode fiber, OC-12
over multi and single mode fiber, and OC-48 over
single mode fiber.This interface flexibility permits
scaling to even higher speeds in the future. All
physical interfaces--DS3, OC-3, and OC-12 and
higher--support UNI and PNNI as well as all
relevant ATM standards.
Carrier Module
The 9M426-02 Carrier Module for the
SmartSwitch 9000 combines voice, video, and
data. Such diverse technologies as Frame Relay
and Gigabit Ethernet are integrated into the same
switching chassis, exemplifying the ideals of an
advanced backbone switching system.
Occupying two slots in the SmartSwitch 9000
chassis and equipped with two modular
interfaces, each capable of supporting a wide
variety of flexible LAN, WAN or ATM options, and
is specifically designed for high-speed, feature-
rich translational switching in the data center.
Using the HSIM architecture, select LAN/WAN
technologies can now be fully integrated within
the SmartSwitch 9000.
