6mPktServSP components

The 6mPktServSP FP consists of
• a motherboard containing two PMCs, the ATM management hardware,
and the processor block
• a PCI PMC daughter card containing four PMCs and the ATM
segmentation and reassembly (SAR) processors
• a PUPS daughter card containing the 3.3 V and 5 V point-of-use power
supplies (PUPS)
The 6mPktServSP connects to the shelf backplane, providing an interface to
both fabric cards. The 6mPktServSP FP has no external ports.
In the wireless RNC application, the 6mPktServSP FP supports these
functions
• high-touch bearer processing
• radio protocol handling
• macro-diversity handover
• ATM adaptation layer protocol conversion

6mPktServSP sparing

There is no sparing arrangement for the 6mPktServSP FP in its current usage.
It is the responsibility of the application running on the FP to arrange software
sparing. In the case of the wireless RNC interface node application, the
master PMC module in the shelf, which is called the PMC Manager
(PMC-M), has a standby PMC-M module. The standby PMC-M takes over
the master functions if the main PMC-M fails.
6mPktServSP configuration
The 6mPktServSP FP has no external connections or ports that need
configuration. The card type value <cardtype> for the FP is 6mPktServSP.
