Introduction
1-2 HSIM-W6 and HSIM-W84
simultaneous communication, or the pair can be conÞgured to provide redundant
channels if desired. Connectivity is available for Point to Point Protocol (PPP), as
well as Frame Relay and leased lines.
HSIM-W6 and HSIM-W84
The HSIM-W6 and HSIM-W84 are Wide Area Networking HSIMs (High Speed
Interface Modules), which are functionally identical to the CSX200 and CSX400 in
that they provide LAN to WAN switching. They can be installed in SmartSwitch
2000, 6000, and 9000 modules to uplink to WANs. These HSIMs are intelligent
modules with their own IP addresses, and are managed separately through
SPECTRUM Element Manager. Therefore, users of the HSIM-W6 and HSIM-W84
should also use this manual.
The HSIM-W6 supports IP and IPX bridging or routing services, including IP RIP.
Multiple WAN connectivity is similar to that of the CSX400, with the use of two
conÞgurable WAN WPIMs. WPIM options are discussed in Chapter 2, Device
ConÞguration. Each WPIM on the HSIM-W6 can act independently, allowing
simultaneous communication, or the pair can be conÞgured to provide redundant
channels if desired.
The HSIM-W84 provides a Þxed conÞguration of four RJ45 ports for four active
T1 interfaces.
Using the CSX 200 and CSX400 User’s Guide
This guide describes a number of different applications, each of which provides a
portion of the overall management functionality for the CSX200 and CSX400
Cyberswitch devices. This guide contains information about software functions
which are accessed directly from the device icon; for information about
management functions which are accessed via the SPECTRUM Element Manager
NOTES
It is also important to note 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 and CSX400 devices. QuickSET can also be used to conÞgure
WPIM settings and routing-bridging protocols, including those WPIMs not currently
supported by SPECTRUM Element Manager.
The CSX400 can support an ISDN connection with the WPIM-S/T. However, this
connection is designed for WAN redundancy only. A primary ISDN WAN connection is
not an option on the CSX400 at this time. See your CSX400 UserÕs Guide or your
QuickSET documentation for more information.
If you launch Chassis Manager for a CyberSwitch device and have QuickSET installed,
your Utilities menu will display a menu pick for launching QuickSET. See your
QuickSET documentation for more information.
