Model 6511RC Matrix Switch overview

The Model 6511RC Matrix Switch (see figure 1) combines TDM aggregation and cross-connection with high- speed packet switching over synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) and Ethernet uplinks for the Patton Fore- Front Access Infrastructure Solutions (AIS) system. The web-manageable Matrix Switch provides a fully non- blocking mapping and switching matrix for TDM and Ethernet traffic traversing the ForeFront chassis or chas- sis segment. With the Model 6511RC, ForeFront AIS can deliver aggregated TDM and IP traffic on high- speed SDH and Ethernet trunks. The Matrix Switch is designed for installation and operation in either the ForeFront Xtreme Model 6676 cPCI 9U chassis or the ForeFront FullPipe Model 6476 6U chassis. Each model 6511RC Matrix Switch includes an on-board TDM multiplexer, a powerful Ethernet switch, a 155 Mbps SDH/STM-1 trunk port, and two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces for high-speed packet- switched uplinks.
