3Com 6416SW Network Card User Manual


 
The major difference between the ATM backplane and other ONcore hub LAN
backplanes is that each ATM media module has a dedicated set of connections to the
6416SW module. This set of dedicated connections constitutes a wiring star topology in
which ATM media modules are at the tips of the star and the 6416SW module is at the
center. The wiring topology used in the ATM backplane is shown in Figure 1-2.
