SmartEdge 600 Router Hardware Guide
6.1 Controller Cards
The controller card type designation for the SmartEdge 600 router is XCRP4.
Controller cards are installed in slots 7 and 8 in the router
The XCRP4 Controller card supports applications that require high volumes
of traffic; it also supports more subscribers than the other controller cards.
The interface to BITS or SSU equipment does not support the transmission of
timing data to the external equipment.
The controller card is responsible for:
• Packet routing protocols
• Operating system command-line interface (CLI)
• Communication with a network management system running the NetOp
Element Management System (EMS) software
• Loading of all configuration information necessary for the line cards
