Chapter 1: Features Overview
ATM Line Card (T-Series)
The ATM line card actually houses various Physical Layer (PHY) interface cards in its two
available slots. ATM PHY cards provide the media-specific portion of an ATM interface to
support ATM connectivity across multiple platforms using different media types. The host
system provides the power, initialization, and control for the PHY card. The PHY card is
used with an ATM segmentation and reassembly (SAR) or cell-switching function.
See “Installing the ATM PHY Cards” on page 68 for installation instructions for the ATM
PHY cards into the ATM line card.
