6-Port DS3 Frame Relay/IP
Input/Output (I/O) Module for the
CBX 500
®
Multiservice WAN Switch
The 6-Port DS3 Frame Relay/IP Input/Output Module delivers high-speed, high-port density,
and multiservice functionality to equip your CBX 500
®
Multiservice WAN Switch to support
high-speed Frame Relay services, service provider to Internet connections, and secure IP VPNs.
You can use the module to offer clear channel DS3 Frame Relay switching or transition
existing services to a higher-speed ATM or MPLS core. The module also works in conjunction
with the MXOS™ IP/MPLS Feature Pack to provide IP routing for the entire switch. The module
helps reduce capital, service delivery, and operating costs with an integrated CSU/DSU,
advanced provisioning features, and comprehensive performance monitoring.
Applications
