Introduction
STRUCTURE OF THIS GUIDE
This guide is organized as follows:
This Introduction provides preliminary information that will aid in using this manual, lists technology and user’s guides that may help the user to set up and manage the SWPIM-BRI, gives an overview of the SWPIM-BRI and its features, and information on how to get help from Cabletron Systems.
Chapter 1, Installation, provides instructions on how to install the device into a host platform, and gives the LED indications.
Appendix A, Specifications, contains information on functionality and operating specifications, connector pinouts for the SWPIM-BRI, environmental requirements, and physical properties.
Appendix B, FCC Part 68 - User’s Information, explains the FCC rules for the SWPIM-BRI.
SWPIM-BRI FEATURES
The SWPIM-BRI is installed into any Cabletron Systems product that supports the SWPIM architecture, such as the SSR-600, or the HSIM-SSR-600.
The SWPIM-BRI uses a single RJ48 connector supporting the S/T-interface and the U-interface. There are two different pin assignments and cables for the two interfaces. Refer to Appendix A for the Cabletron Systems part numbers and pin assignments for these cables.
The S/T-interface is provided via a four-wire Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI), while the U-interface is provided via a two-wire ISDN BRI.
The SWPIM-BRI provides support for the transportation of two 64 Kbps Bearer (B) channels and one 16 Kbps Data (D) channel for a total of
144 Kbps. The SWPIM-BRI can be configured by software to select the S/T-interface for terminal equipment (TE) mode or the U-interface for network termination (NT) mode. Refer to the host platform software user’s manual for information on how to configure the SWPIM-BRI using software.
The SWPIM-BRI has two LEDs, to indicate link and status conditions. Refer to Chapter 1 for more details.
