Chapter 1 Product Overview

100BASE-FX Ports

If telephone services, such as voice or integrated services digital network (ISDN), use the same cabling as LRE traffic, the LRE port must be connected to the patch panel through a basic telephone service, also known as plain old telephone service (POTS) splitter. The splitter routes LRE data (high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) traffic from the telephone line to the switch and private branch exchange (PBX) switch or public-switched telephone network (PSTN)

If the other telephone services are connected through a private branch exchange (PBX) switch, a Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter can be used. The PBX routes voice traffic to private telephone networks and the public system telephone network (PSTN). For more information about the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter (PS-1M-LRE-48), refer to the Installation Notes for the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter.

If the installation does not have a PBX, a homologated POTS splitter is required to directly connect to the PSTN. For more information about homologated POTS splitters, contact your Cisco sales representative.

Note If a connection to a phone network is not required at all, a splitter is not needed, and the switch can connect directly to the patch panel.

Expansion Slots

The expansion slots (see Figure 1-2) are for the Catalyst 2900 XL hot-swappable modules. Each module port is internally switched to other switch ports and is managed through the switch management interfaces.

Table 1-1lists the modules that the expansion slots support.
