ATM Applications

Table 11-1

gives a description of the ATM cards and the applications available for each

SmartBits chassis. These cards apply only to the SMB-200/2000 chassis.

Note:

Throughout this manual, the term “card” may be used interchangeably to represent

either SmartCards (SMB-200/2000), or modules (SMB-600/6000B).
