2.7.3.2 Component Functions
Each hardware component provides a unique function to the DRM Network.
2.7.3.2.1 The Smart
Ethernet
Switch
Unlike a hub, which is a passive device that broadcasts signals it receives to all other
devices connected to it, the smart ethernet switch routes data it receives only to the
correct destination.
In the LNCS, the Cajun P333T is the smart ethernet switch, and as such it:
• converts 100BaseT protocol to 10BaseT protocol
• allows multiple routers to interface with the single port on the QFE card
installed in the ASM.
2.7.3.2.2 The Routers
In the LNCS, there are two router options: A and C. Each has its own purpose.
Router option A is used in the LNCS to:
• supply up to 6 DS1s for routing data signals.
One DS1 is dedicated to a connection to operating systems used for billing,
network management, and traffic measurement. The remaining 5 DS1s are
connected to DRM sites. Each DRM site is engineered with a DS1, therefore, up
to 5 DRM sites may be connected to the first router.
The second and third routers installed are option C routers. These routers can supply
up to 6 DS1s for connection to DRM sites.
Each DRM site, has one option C router. This router converts between DS1 format
and 10 BaseT. The 10 BaseT connects to the rear of the Administrative Workstation
(AW). Port 0 on a Quad Fast Ethernet card provides the interface for a Netra t 1120 or
Netra 20. The onboard Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet port 2 provides the interface for a
