But a MAX 6000 unit can enable several X.25 clients to share a single connection to an X.25
network. In Figure 6-4, the X.25 switch connects to the MAX 6000. The X.25 switch sees the
MAX 6000 as a terminating deviceData Terminal Equipment (DTE). The clients see the
MAX 6000 as an X.25 switchData Communications Equipment (DCE).
