SunATM 622 3U CompactPCI Adapter

The SunATM 622 compact PCI adapter is a 622 Mbps ATM network interface board with a multi-mode fiber optical transceiver for LAN access. The SunATM 622 compact PCI adapter provides full duplex transmission of data between a host on a compact PCI (cPCI) bus and the fiber optics with a data rate of 622 Mbits/sec.

Hardware Features

■Supports 622-Mbps operation over 62.5/125 μ multimode fiber cable at 1300 nm wavelength

■Integrates PCI and SAR (segmentation and reassembly) functions in an ASIC implemented in standard CMOS

■Aligns SAR function with ATM Forum specified and International Telecommunications Union-Telecommunication Sector (ITU-TS) approved ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) 5

■Supports 32- and 64-bit bus master interface

■Supports 33 MHz clock speeds

■Supports the SONET and SDH (Synchronous Optical NETwork/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) physical layer framing structure

Hardware and Software Requirements

To connect the Sun adapter to an ATM switch, you need a multimode fiber cable with an SC connector.

Refer to the manuals supplied with the ATM switch for specific instructions about the switch’s cable connections and cabling an ATM network.

The software drivers required for operating the adapter are located on the Solaris Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD-ROM, which is included with the Solaris software.
