νDSL cards

Provide a processor and an Ethernet or ATM interface to the NSP. The processor controls the modems and forwards the packet traffic to and from the Ethernet, ATM and DSL interfaces. Models include:

8303 24-port Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Digital Subscriber Line (IDSL) card that interoperates with the 6301 and 6302 IDSL Routers.

8304 24-port Packet IDSL 2B1Q card with ATM uplink that interoperates with the 6301 and 6302 IDSL Routers.

8312 12-port ReachDSL cards that interoperate with the Hotwire 6310 and 6350 ReachDSL modems.

8314 12-port ReachDSL card that interoperates with the Hotwire 6310 and 6350 ReachDSL modem.

8335 16-port ATM SDSL card.

8343 24-port Packet Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (Packet SDSL) CAP (Carrierless Amplitude and Phase Modulation) card that interoperates with the 6341 and 6342 SDSL Routers.

8344 24-port Packet SDSL CAP card with ATM uplink that interoperates with the 6341 and 6342 SDSL Routers.

8355 24-port ReachDSL card that interoperates with the Hotwire 6390 ReachDSL modem.

8365 12-port ATM Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) card.

8373 12-port Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL) card that interoperates with the 5620 Remote Termination Unit (RTU) or the 6371 RADSL Router.

8374 12-port RADSL card with ATM uplink that interoperates with the 6371 RADSL Router.

8385 24-port ATM Symmetric High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (SHDSL) card.

8777 and 8779 8-port TDM SDSL cards that interoperate with the Hotwire 7974, 7975, and 7976 TDM SDSL Standalone Termination Units.

8799 8-port TDM SHDSL card that interoperates with the Hotwire 7995 and 7996 TDM SHDSL Endpoints.

8955 24-port ReachDSL card that interoperates with the Hotwire 6390 ReachDSL modem, for use with the SCP card.

8965 24-port ATM ADSL card, for use with the SCP card.

8985 24-port ATM SHDSL card, for use with the SCP card.

RADSL, ReachDSL, IDSL, SDSL, ATM SDSL, ATM ADSL, TDM SDSL, and TDM SHDSL cards are generically referred to as DSL cards or line cards in this document.
