Installing the 9Cx14 Chassis

The Cell Transfer Matrix (installed in the 9C714 chassis only)
The Cell Transfer Matrix provides a Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) based
mesh of full duplex, high speed (1.6 Gbps) dedicated interconnections capable of
carrying standard ATM cell traffic. These interconnections are a series of point-to-
point links between an individual module, and every other module that directly
connects to the Cell Transfer Matrix. If the 9C714 chassis has 14 modules that
connect to the CTM installed, there are 182 point-to-point links between all the
modules, providing a total aggregrate switching capacity of 75 Gbps.
