3.8.2Device Connection

The following example shown in Figure 10 shows a typical interface to an ADSL Framer via the UTOPIA bus. Notice that depending on the framer used some control signals might be required which can be derived from the Expansion bus or the GPIO signals.

3.9HSS Interface

NPE A has an integrated High-Speed Serial (HSS) module, whose primary function is to provide connectivity between the internal NPE A and the external HSS interface. There is one HSS port that can directly interface to SLIC/CODEC devices for voice applications, or serial DSL framers. The HSS ports are software configurable to support various serial protocols, such as T1/ E1/J1, and MVIP. For a list of supported protocols, see the Intel® IXP400 Software Programmer’s Guide.
