NOTE: For TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers, the PICs depend on the
T640 and T1600 routers interconnected, respectively, for these routers.
Before transmitting outgoing data packets, the PICs encapsulate packets received from
the FPCs. Each PIC is equipped with an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that
performs control functions specific to the PIC’s media type.
For a listing of PICs supported for each routing platform, see the appropriate router
hardware guide and the router PIC guide.
Figure 97 on page 238 shows the PIC location in each router and the corresponding row
and slot numbering.
