CSX400; CSX WPIMs

The CSX200 series (201, 202, and 203) and the CSX 400 come with a variety of
Ethernet LAN and WAN connectivity options. The WPIMs which provide the
WAN connection(s) are discussed in this chapter, along with how to access the
SPMA utilities available to each CSX200/400 module.

About the CSX200 Series

There are three devices in the CSX200 family: the CSX201, CSX202, and CSX203.
Each has twelve RJ-45 Ethernet ports for LAN connection via 10BaseT twisted
pair cable, along with a WPIM slot to provide one WAN interface. The model
number depends on the type of Wide Area Networking interface installed:

CSX201

Provides a T1/E1 Wide Area uplink

CSX202

Provides a Serial interface (V.35, X.21, RS449, RS232. or
RS530)

CSX203

Provides a DDS WAN uplink

NOTE

ItÕs important to note that a Windows 95- and NT-based utility called QuickSET was
shipped with your CyberSWITCH. This program is designed for point-and-click
installation and set-up of CSX200/400 devices. QuickSET can also be used to conÞgure
WPIM settings and routing/bridging protocols, including those WPIMs not currenlty
supported by SPMA. See your QuickSET documentation for more information.
