Hardware overview
The Model 6511RC combines DS0 cross-connection and concentration with powerful Ethernet switching in a
single-slot blade for installation in a standard CPCI chassis. The Matrix Switch card-set comprises two mod-
ules, a processor blade (see figure 1 on page 14) inserted from the front of the ForeFront chassis, and a rear
interface blade (see figure 3) inserted opposite to the processor blade. The front and rear blades mate at the
mid-plane, which provides the communication path between front and rear blades (see figure 4).
