SWPIM-BRI FEATURES
The SWPIM-BRI is installed into any Cabletron Systems product that
supports the SWPIM architecture, such as the SSR-600, or the
HSIM-SSR-600.
The SWPIM-BRI uses a single RJ48 connector supporting the
S/T-interface and the U-interface. There are two different pin assignments
and cables for the two interfaces. Refer to Appendix A for the Cabletron
Systems part numbers and pin assignments for these cables.
The S/T-interface is provided via a four-wire Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI), while the U-interface is
provided via a two-wire ISDN BRI.
The SWPIM-BRI provides support for the transportation of two 64 Kbps
Bearer (B) channels and one 16 Kbps Data (D) channel for a total of
144 Kbps. The SWPIM-BRI can be configured by software to select the
S/T-interface for terminal equipment (TE) mode or the U-interface for
network termination (NT) mode. Refer to the host platform software
user’s manual for information on how to configure the SWPIM-BRI using
software.
The SWPIM-BRI has two LEDs, to indicate link and status conditions.
Refer to Chapter 1 for more details.
