Figure 2-22. Crosspoint Switch
Two examples of the crosspoint capability are to use the crosspoint switch to configure a
repeater or an add/drop. In the repeater example, the Crosspoint Switch is used as a
passthrough to send E1/T1s from the east modem to the west modem. In the add/drop
example, the crosspoint switch connects E1/T1s from the modems to the back-panel
ports.
