Model 6511
T
he Patton Model 6511 Matrix Switch is
an integrated multimedia switching
engine complete with a digital access
cross-connect, high-speed STM-1/OC-3 trunk
interface, wire-speed Ethernet packet switch,
and GUI management system.
The Model 6511’s flexible channel switching
fabric allows non-blocking switching from
any input to any output. The Channelized
STM-1/OC-3 interface integrates into a
SDH/SONET network, enabling users to
channelize an STM-1/OC-3 down to 64 kbps
timeslots. With full grooming capability the
Model 6511 DACS allows any-to-any TDM
mapping and can place any channel from any
card onto any port.
Combined with the ForeFront AIS Packet-
Switched Backplane, the Model
6511 redundantly interconnects
every slot, at wire-speed, and
aggregates traffic from each sys-
tem card onto dual-switched uplink
Ethernet ports. With increased per-
formance and throughput, the
packet backplane allows non-blocking access
to the Model 6511, other system cards, and
the uplink ports.
With the Forefront architecture, TDM and pack-
et can be used simultaneously and to full
capacity. In a system loaded with dual 6511’s,
the high speed channel switching and packet
backplane on the Model 6511 offers 1+1 redun-
dancy.
Management is a snap with VT-100, TELNET,
SNMP and WEB options. Manage traffic out-
of-band via dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports
or terminate PPP/FR via timeslots in-band.
With the integrated L2/L3 switch the Model
6511 provides managment access to all
cards within the chassis
Master time and space with the Model 6511
Matrix Switch and realize an unequaled level
of density and control over the new conver-
gent network.
