ZXR10 GER08 Working Principles
ZXR10 GER08 modules are connected to one another in three
modes.
Standard buses are used for connection between the line
interface module and the network processor module. Network
processor module and switching module also uses these buses to
communicate with each other. Packets are transmitted between
modules by means of information elements, with the
transmission throughput of each channel up to 1.6 Gbps
Control processor module and network processor module
connects by means of a standard bus. In the system, two high-
performance RISC processors use to form a symmetrical dual
CPU processing system. Each processor bus connects with two
network processor modules. System is configured with a
maximum of four network processor modules.
Control channel administrates the operation and initialization
configuration for all other modules by using RISC-CPU processor.
