ATM Universal Service Module

ATM Universal Service Module

The eight-port ATM Universal Service Module (MGX-AUSM/B-8T1 and MGX-AUSM/B-E1) is a multipurpose card set with eight T1 or E1 lines that support:

ATM UNI with high port-density for the CPE—with AUSMs in all 24 service module slots, an MGX 8850 switch can support up to 192 individual T1 or E1 lines. An individual card set can support 1000 data connections and 16 management connections.

Inverse multiplexing for ATM (IMA) that complies with ATM Forum v3.0 and v3.1—the 8-port AUSM can provide N x T1 or N x E1 logical ports up to maximum rates of 12 Mbps for T1 or 16 Mbps for E1.

Classes of service—CBR, VBR, ABR, and UBR with per-VC queuing on ingress and multiple class-of-service queues on egress.

Statistics collection.

Virtual path connections (VPCs).

Network synchronization derived from one of its lines.

Bit error rate test (BERT) functionality with loopback pattern generation and verification on individual lines or logical port. For a description of the BERT functions, see the section titled “Bit Error Rate Testing Through an MGX-SRM-3T3.”

1:N redundancy for through the optional MGX-SRM-3T3/B card.

Automatic card-restore.

SNMP and TFTP to support card and connection management.

Resource partitions for individual network control applications.

Using the CLI to Configure the Card, Lines, and Ports

You can activate and configure the card, the lines, and the ports on the AUSM-series cards through the CiscoView application or the CLI. To perform connection-related tasks, use the Cisco WAN Manager application or the CLI. Refer to the documentation for these applications for task descriptions. Use the commands described in this section to:

Optionally modify resource partitioning at the card-level

Activate and configure a line

Create and configure a logical port

Optionally modify resource partitioning at the port-level

Configure usage parameters

Configure queue depths

Configure the ForeSight feature

Configure a line as a clock source

MGX-FRSM-HS2, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, MGX-FRSM-2CT3 specifications

Cisco Systems is a leader in networking technology and infrastructure, providing solutions that drive innovation and efficiency for businesses worldwide. Among its diverse range of products, the MGX series stands out as a pivotal component for the network-centric era, especially with models like MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, and MGX-FRSM-HS2. These modules are primarily designed for the MGX 8800 series routers, facilitating efficient traffic management and service delivery.

The MGX-FRSM-2CT3 is a versatile module that supports two T3 connections. It allows network operators to seamlessly integrate high-capacity circuit-switched and packet-switched data on a unified platform. This versatility is crucial for service providers looking to enhance their bandwidth offerings while ensuring reliable performance across voice, video, and data applications.

In contrast, the MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 module caters to operators needing E3 support. This feature allows for efficient data transport over a broader bandwidth, catering to European standards. The E3 configuration is vital for service providers operating in Europe or regions that utilize E3 technology prominently.

The MGX-FRSM-HS2 module is another significant offering, designed to accommodate the increasing demand for high speed and high capacity. It supports higher-order TDM and packet technologies, enabling operators to implement advanced services such as VoIP, video conferencing, and other data-intensive applications. This module provides scalability and reliability, making it ideal for next-generation networks.

All three modules leverage Cisco’s advanced switching and routing technology, ensuring optimal performance and minimal latency. The integration of Quality of Service (QoS) features allows network administrators to prioritize traffic types effectively, ensuring mission-critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.

Additionally, these MGX modules support various signaling protocols, enabling interoperability with existing network infrastructure while also facilitating the migration to newer technologies. They play an essential role in modernizing telecom networks, allowing service providers to adapt to changing market demands and technology landscapes.

In summary, the Cisco MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, and MGX-FRSM-HS2 modules are key components for businesses looking to enhance their networking capabilities. With their robust support for T3 and E3 technologies, high scalability, and advanced QoS features, these modules empower service providers to deliver a wide range of services, drive innovation, and meet the growing demands of users in an increasingly connected world.
