VDSL2
See the module guide of a specific LIM for an explanation of installation and
configuration options
.
User connection to each LIM is provided through an associated line protection
module (LPM).
Network interfaces
The Stinger unit extracts data from the digital subscriber line and switches it to
remote ATM switches depending on the configuration of virtual circuit and path
information. Stinger modules are available that support ATM connections to ATM
network switches over the following types of digital lines:
■
T1 (individual lines or aggregated bandwidth)
■
E1 (individual lines or aggregated bandwidth)
■
DS3
■
E3
■
OC3
■
OC12
■
Gigabit Ethernet
A Stinger unit that is equipped with an IP control module provides IP terminations
for user and network links to the unit and routing for IP network traffic over Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces using SFP modules. These interfaces are located on the IP control
module, and on Gigabit Ethernet OLIMs, if installed.
For an explanation of installation and configuration options, see the guide for a
specific trunk module, the
Stinger IP Control Modules Configuration Guide
, or the
Stinger
Compact Remote IPDSLAM Getting Started Guide
.
Control module interfaces
The control module is equipped with the following interfaces for configuration and
administration. For an explanation of basic configuration options, see Chapter 5, “.”
