4.11.1 Introduction
8.8 Router 1-Port E3 ATM FIC, the 1-port 34Mbps ATM-E3 interface card, provides
these functions:
z Two ATM cell mapping modes: ATM direct mapping (ADM) and physical layer
convergence protocol (PLCP).
z Scrambling in data transmission.
z Line clock (when working as DTE interface) and internal clock (when working as
DCE interface).
z Four types of test measures: local cell loopback, local loopback, remote payload
loopback, and remote line loopback.
Note:
You may equip your router with 8.8 Router 1-Port E3 ATM FIC cards to its full capacity. Yet, you are
recommended to install only one 8.8 Router 1-Port E3 ATM FIC on it, whatever its model is, to ensure
performance of some key services.
