Overview

1.3OVERVIEW

The HSIM-A6DP extends the functionality of your Cabletron Systems interface module or standalone hub to include remote uplink capability. It allows remote connectivity using ATM technology.

Two APIMs can be installed in the HSIM-A6DP, to provide redundant ATM links from the HSIM to a switched ATM network. Cabletron Systems provides a variety of APIMs that let you select the conﬁguration of your choice. If port redundancy is not a requirement, then only one APIM needs to be installed.

The HSIM-A6DP supports two types of Virtual Channels: Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs), and Switched Virtual Channels (SVCs), which are compliant with the ATM Forum’s User-Network-Interface (UNI) for SVC signaling speciﬁcation.

1.4FEATURES

ATM Port Interface Modules (APIMs)

The HSIM-A6DP supports two Cabletron Systems APIMs for ATM connectivity and redundancy. You can easily install APIMs into the HSIM-A6DP for the interface of your choice. The two APIMs installed may be of any combination of physical layer cable type and bandwidth. For example the APIM installed in slot 1 could support Twisted Pair cable and provide 155 Mbps of bandwidth, while the APIM installed in slot 2 could support Coaxial cable and provide 45 Mbps of bandwidth. Appendix A, APIM Speciﬁcations, details all of the APIMs available for the HSIM-A6DP.

MIB Support

For additional information on how to extract and compile individual MIBs, refer to the Release Notes, or contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support (refer to Section 1.7, Getting Help).

LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs

Cabletron Systems provides a visual diagnostic and monitoring system called LANVIEW. The HSIM-A6DP LANVIEW LEDs help you to quickly identify transmit/receive and link status.
