HSIM-A6DP User’s Guide

. This

manual provides the following information:

•

Describes HSIM-A6DP features

•

Explains how to install the HSIM-A6DP in a Cabletron Systems
interface module or standalone hub

•

Outlines specifications for the Cabletron Systems Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM) High Speed Interface Module (HSIM)

The HSIM-A6DP provides additional connectivity/functionality to
