Application
The NIM card (Network Interface Module) builds the termination point of a network link. The
physical line interface is installed on the NIM card as a module which allows easy adaptation to
different physical networks. The network clock, recovered by the line interface, is provided as a 2
MHz reference clock on a MCX connector. All line interface modules can be configured to use the
recovered network clock, an internal clock or an external PRC (primary rate clock) as their
reference clock.
The NIM card forwards the ATM cell stream received from the network to the Service and the
Controller slots using ten high-speed serial links with a maximum traffic rate of 800Mbps each. In
the opposite direction the NIM aggregates the cell streams generated by Controller or Service
cards and sends the resulting ATM cell stream towards the network.
The card can be configured via the console port (RS232) or in combination with an optionally
installed Controller card via 2 redundant Ethernet ports. All configuration parameters are stored
locally and non-volatile. The entire function of the module is controlled by the on-board CPU. The
firmware is stored in the on-board Flash memory.
The card supports hot-plug and hot-swap according to the Compact-PCI specification.
