3Com 6416SW Network Card User Manual


 
The main characteristics of the ATM backplane are as follows:
Modular structure
Full floating ATM media modules
Support of two 6416SW modules for reliability and redundancy (in 17-slot models)
Full coexistence with existing legacy LAN modules.
ATM media modules can be hot-swapped into any open slot. Also, you can remove an
ATM module and re-insert it into another slot without disturbing the operation of other
ATM modules and without causing a failure in ATM connections in the hub.
You can install an ATM media module in any one of slots 1 to 8 in a 10-slot model, and
of slots 1 to 8 and 12 to 17 in a 17-slot model. Slots 9, 10, and 11 (in 17-slot models)
are reserved for 6416SW modules. After installing the module, you must configure it for
operation by entering a series of commands from the 6416SW local console or from a
TELNET session. The commands are detailed in the
