Figure 7-3 MSC and PLIMs in a Single-Chassis System
Every MSC is paired with a PLIM through the midplane of the line card chassis (see Figure 7-4). The
use of separate PLIMs provides the ability to choose a number of interfaces and port densities, such as
OC-192 or OC-48, and allows an MSC to be removed and replaced without having to disturb the cabling
that is connected to the PLIM.
