Campus-RS products accommodate a wide range of network interfaces and
access speeds in a single platform solution. A Campus-RS system comprises
these primary elements:
•
Campus-RS desktop unit—The desktop unit provides a DSL (WAN)
interface that connects to a line unit (DSL interface) in a Campus-Star
chassis or back-to-back with another desktop unit DSL interface. You
can then install any of the customer interface cards listed on
page 120 for
the customer-side network connection.
•
Campus-Star chassis—This chassis or concentrator provides aggregation
for up to 14 DSL line connections. Each line connection is made using a
DSL line unit that connects to a DSL line unit in another Star Chassis or
to the DSL interface of a desktop unit. You can then install any one of the
customer interface cards listed below to complement each DSL line unit
in the chassis for the customer-side network connection.
You can install a Campus-RS Management Unit (CMU) into the chassis
for SNMP management of components in the chassis and for
management of elements attached to the chassis.
•

voice, video, and data, the following interface cards are available to
install into the desktop unit or the Campus-Star chassis:
