The SmartSwitch 6000 and Matrix E7 modules include:
•The 6E122-26and 6E123-26SmartSwitch modules each provide 24 fixed 10Base-T switch ports (via RJ45 connectors on the 6E122; RJ21 Telco connectors on the 6E123) and two slots for optional FE-100xx Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules (FEPIMs). Several Fast Ethernet port modules are available:
-the FE-100FX, which provides one multi-mode fiber port via an SC connector;
-the FE-100TX, with one Category 5 UTP RJ45 connector;
-the FE-100F3, with one single-mode fiber port via an SC connector;
-and the FE-100S1, S3, and S5, which provide one multi-mode fiber, single-mode fiber, or long reach single-mode fiber SONET/SDH port, all via SC connectors.
•The 6E132-25and 6E133-25SmartSwitch modules each provide 24 fixed 10Base-T switch ports (also via RJ45 for the 6E132 and RJ21 for the 6E133) and one slot for an optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) that can link the chassis to an FDDI, ATM, WAN, or Gigabit Ethernet backbone. Each HSIM provides frame translation between ATM, FDDI, WAN, Gigabit Ethernet, and Ethernet through an on-board Intel
i960 processor:
-The HSIM-F6is an FDDI/Ethernet Translator, which can act as a Single Attached Station (SAS) or Dual Attached Station (DAS) on an external FDDI ring. Enterasys’ FDDI Port Interface Modules (FPIMs) provide a wide range of media connectivity to the ring. The HSIM-F6 also has full-duplex capability, allowing for a 200 Mbps connection to another HSIM-F6.
-The HSIM-A6DPis an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) HSIM, which provides an ATM uplink via two media-configurable ATM Port Interface Modules (APIMs). The dual APIM design allows for a redundant connection to the uplink, so that if the primary interface fails, the secondary interface will automatically take over. The HSIM-A6DP acts as an ATM Forum LAN Emulation Client (LEC) so that it can transfer data between devices on an 802.x LAN supported by the SmartSwitch 6000 and Matrix E7 and ATM-connected end stations across a high speed ATM Link. The HSIM-A6DP adheres to the ATM Forum-approved LAN Emulation (LANE) standard, which defines how end users that rely on existing data communications technology and protocols can operate over an ATM network without penalty.
-The HSIM-W6and HSIM-W84are Wide Area Networking (WAN) HSIMs, which can provide uplinks to WAN backbones and allow you to perform seamless LAN to WAN switching. The HSIM-W6supports IP and IPX bridging or routing services, including IP RIP. Multiple WAN connectivity options are supported, including Sync, T1, E1, D&I, ISDN S/T, DDS, and HDSL interfaces, through the use of two configurable WAN Physical Interface Modules (WPIMs). Connectivity is available for Point to Point Protocol (PPP), as well as Frame Relay and Leased Lines. Each WPIM can act independently, allowing simultaneous communication, or configured to provide redundant channels if desired. The HSIM-W84provides a fixed configuration of four RJ45 ports for four active T1 interfaces.
