Connecting the The CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch can be configured via the LMA Control Terminal using the Administration Console terminal (VT100) or terminal emulator

(Windows).

To connect a terminal to the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch control port:

1Prepare an RS-232 shielded cable (9 pin-to-9 pin or 9 pin-to-25 pin, as dictated by the terminal you wish to use).

2Configure the terminal: 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, xon/xoff flow control.

3Push the DCE side of the cable onto the Control port of the switch module and screw it into place.

4Connect the other end of the cable to the terminal.

In case you have installed a redundant switch unit, it is sufficient to connect the RS-232 line to either the active switch control port or to the redundant switch control port.

Connecting to the The Ethernet port is used for connecting directly to a Transcend Network Ethernet Port Management System terminal for management purposes.

7000 specifications

The 3Com 7000 is a robust and versatile networking solution designed to meet the demands of enterprise environments. Renowned for its reliability and scalability, the 3Com 7000 is highly suitable for organizations requiring efficient data handling and enhanced network performance. This multi-layer switching platform integrates advanced technologies, making it a preferred choice for modern businesses.

One of the standout features of the 3Com 7000 is its modular architecture. This design allows businesses to customize their network according to specific requirements by adding or replacing various modules. The modularity ensures that organizations can scale their network operations without significant downtime or the necessity of overhauling existing infrastructure. Such flexibility is vital for growing enterprises that need to adapt to variable workloads.

The 3Com 7000 also incorporates advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities. This feature enhances the efficiency of data transmission and bolsters the overall responsiveness of the network. By allowing routing functions to occur directly on the switch, it reduces latency and optimizes traffic flow, which is critical for applications requiring high availability, such as VoIP and video conferencing.

Security is another core characteristic of the 3Com 7000. It comes equipped with built-in security protocols and features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) and VLAN support, which segregate network resources and protect sensitive data. These security measures ensure that only authorized devices can access specific segments of the network, thus fortifying the organization's information security posture.

In terms of management, the 3Com 7000 offers an intuitive interface for monitoring and controlling network operations. It supports various management protocols and software, which facilitate streamlined administration and configuration. This ease of management can significantly reduce the operational burden on IT staff, allowing them to focus on strategic initiatives.

Additionally, the 3Com 7000 is designed for high performance. It supports extensive bandwidth and low-latency communications, making it ideal for high-demand applications. The ability to handle multiple simultaneous connections without compromising speed makes it an excellent choice for enterprises that rely on real-time data processing.

In summary, the 3Com 7000 is a sophisticated networking solution characterized by its modularity, advanced routing capabilities, robust security features, user-friendly management, and high performance. These attributes make it a compelling choice for enterprises looking to enhance their networking infrastructure for a competitive edge.
