About Processor Ethernet

Like a C-LAN board, Processor Ethernet provides connectivity to IP endpoints, gateways, and
adjuncts. The PE interface is a logical connection in the Communication Manager software that
uses a port on the NIC in the server. There is no additional hardware needed to implement PE.
Starting with release 3.1 of Communication Manager, the PE interface is enabled on theS8400
Media Server allowing enhanced flexibility for connectivity to gateways, endpoints, and
adjuncts.
Table 5 lists the possible uses of the PE interface for an S8400.
