Overview

The LCS60 provides the required hardware and software for the interface between LAN and data switch network resources.

The LCS60 provides high-speed connectivity between Ethernet networks and the Lucent Technologies family of data switches (Datakit II VCS 2.1 or greater, BNS- 1000, and BNS-2000).

Each LCS60 has the following components:

A CPU board to run the LCS60 software and to provide one Ethernet LAN interface

A VMEDKHS board to provide a fiber interface to the data switch CPM- HS trunk board

Communication between boards within the LCS60 is handled over a VME bus.

Features

Benefits

The LCS60 expands the connectivity and enhances the functionality of the Lucent Technologies data switch product line by allowing LAN and data switch network environments to communicate. Some of the benefits include:

Device-to-device connectivity over multiple LANs

Improved capability to develop and use distributed processing environments

Access through the most commonly used network protocols

Data switch network access to LAN data

Modular design which permits easy expansion as needs increase.
