APX 1000™ Getting Started Guide
APX 1000 Intended Use
Network interfaces
Network interfaces
The APX 1000 unit extracts voice or data information from the digital line and encapsulates it
as IP data for routing onto a network. Network connections are supported by the following slot
cards described in the following sections.
LAN interface
The APX 1000 supports the following LAN interface:
WAN interfaces
The APX 1000 supports the following WAN interfaces:
Channelized T3 slot card
The channelized T3 slot card provides a digital line composed
of seven DS2 groups, each of which includes four DS1 lines.
Each DS1 line can be configured to support North American
primary rate ISDN, or robbed-bit signaling modes.
Ethernet-3ND slot card
The Ethernet-3ND slot card provides four RJ-45 connectors,
each of which provides a connection to a 10/100BaseT Ethernet
network. For a complete explanation of configuration options,
see the APX 1000 Physical Interface Configuration Guide.
APX Ethernet slot card
The APX Ethernet slot card provides two RJ-45 connectors,
each of which provides a connection to a 10/100BaseT Ethernet
network. For a complete explanation of configuration options,
see the APX 1000 Physical Interface Configuration Guide.
SWAN2 slot card
The SWAN2 slot card provides one 120-pin connector, that
connects to an X.21 cable to provide four X.21 DTE ports, or to
a V.35 cable to provide four V.35 DTE, or four V.35 DCE,
ports. For a complete explanation of configuration options, see
the APX 1000 Physical Interface Configuration Guide.
OC3-ATM2 slot card
The OC3-ATM2 slot card provides one 155.52Mbps interface
for connecting to an ATM switch. At a minimum, you must
enable the line and specify a dedicated (leased or nailed) group.
APX 1000 units use the nailed group number to direct traffic to
the interface.
DS3-ATM2 slot card
The DS3-ATM2 slot card enables an APX 1000 unit to provide
one active and one standby trunk connection at data rates of
44.736Mbps.
