standard, which deÞnes how end users that rely on existing data
communications technology and protocols can operate over an ATM network
without penalty.
¥
The
HSIM-W6
and
HSIM-W84
are Wide Area Networking (WAN) HSIMs,
which can provide uplinks to WAN backbones and allow you to perform
seamless LAN to WAN switching. The
HSIM-W6
supports IP and IPX
bridging or routing services, including IP RIP. Multiple WAN connectivity
options are supported, including Sync, T1, E1, D&I, ISDN S/T, DDS, and
HDSL interfaces, through the use of two conÞgurable WAN Physical Interface
Modules (WPIMs). Connectivity is available for Point to Point Protocol (PPP),
as well as Frame Relay and Leased Lines. Each WPIM can act independently,
allowing simultaneous communication, or conÞgured to provide redundant
channels if desired. The
HSIM-W84
provides a Þxed conÞguration of four
RJ45 ports for four active T1 interfaces.
¥
The
HSIM-W87
is a Wide Area Network (WAN) HSIM that provides LAN to
WAN connectivity for any SmartSwitch that supports high-speed interface
modules (HSIMs). The HSIM-W87 has a DS3 interface (T3), providing up to 28
separate DS1 connections (T1). Refer to Chapter 8,
,
for information on conÞguring an HSIM-W87.
¥
The
HSIM-G01
and
HSIM-G09
are Gigabit Ethernet HSIMs, each of which
provide a single Gigabit Ethernet connection that fully conforms to the IEEE
P802.3z (D3.1) Draft Standard. The HSIM-G01 provides a single 1000Base-SX
(short-wave) multimode Þber optic SC interface, allowing for link distances of
up to 500 meters. The HSIM-G09 provides a single 1000Base-LX (long-wave)
single mode/multimode Þber optic SC interface, allowing for link distances of
up to 3 kilometers.
¥
The HSIM-SSA710/20 are Wide Area Networking (WAN) HSIMs that support
up to two ISDN PRI interfaces with up to 24 V.90 56K modem connections.
The HSIM-SSA710/20 are intelligent devices that are managed as individual
devices rather than as part of the device in which they are installed. Before you
can access the device, you must add it to your central node database by
inserting it in an existing List, Tree, or Map View, or by doing a Discover
process (refer to your UserÕs Guide for more information). Once it has been
added to your List, Tree, or Map view, you can access and manage the HSIM
according to the information in Chapter 2,
NOTE
The HSIM-W6 and HSIM-W84 are intelligent devices that are functionally identical to
the CSX400. These HSIMs require their own IP addresses, and are managed as individual
devices rather than as part of the device in which they are installed. Refer to the CSX200
and CSX400 UserÕs Guide
for details on managing these devices using SPECTRUM
Element Manager.
