Redundant Switch Controllers and Elements

Document No. 650-100-700, Issue 1
The Avaya Multiservice switches provide a redundant backplane to ensure
that should a Supervisor module, Switch Controller, or fabric element fail, it
will continue to forward data properly. The redundant components are
available as separate options.
Controllers and Elements are located at the rear of the switches. When the
redundant controller and element are installed, the backplane consists of the
following parts (Figure
