3Com ONcore ATM Subsystem
By interconnecting 3Com ONcore Switching hubs, you can build a private campus
network that uses ATM to provide:
The backbone structure, with possible extensions to the WAN
New LAN capability for attaching workstations and servers with dedicated bandwidth
and isochronous transmission.
ATM is implemented in the ONcore hub to permit existing LANs (such as Token-Ring)
to coexist with the new ATM technology.
In the 3Com ONcore hub, the ATM subsystem consists of the following components:
An ATM backplane for interconnecting active ATM modules installed in any of the
slots in the hub
A 2-slot ATM Switch/Contol Module (6416SW) module (two may be installed in
17-slot models)
ATM media (for example, 100 Mbps Concentration) modules.
