2-port DS-3

For more information about the MDAs for the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM module, see Installing Media Dependent Adapters for the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM Modules (313071-C).

In the data center, the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM modules act as an edge device for WAN connectivity to connect an 8600 Switch to public or private ATM networks. In the wiring closet, this module provides inter-building connections for campus networks where each building is supported by frame-switched networks.

You can install up to six 8672ATME or 8672ATMM modules in one 8010 10-slot chassis. You can install up to four 8672ATME or 8672ATMM modules in one 8006 6-slot chassis. You can install up to two 8672ATME or 8672ATMM modules in a 8003 3-slot chassis.

Both the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM modules have an online LED that indicates overall status for the module. "8672ATME/8672ATMM module LED" (page 51) describes the online LED .
