Xedge LIM Overview

Xedge 6000 controllers use Line Interface Modules (LIMs) to interface to the network physical
layer. The LIM types vary depending upon the environment, application and the line connection in
use (T1, E1, OC3, etc.). Refer to Chapter 5, Line Interface Modules for detailed information on each
Xedge LIM.
Figure 1-2 shows LIMs attached horizontally or vertically to slot controllers via the midplane
connector, depending on the chassis in use.
Table 1-2 and
Table 1-4 provides a compatibility matrix of Xedge controllers and LIMs.
Table 1-5 details the performance capabilities of each slot/LIM combination.
Table 1-6 identifies chassis, cables and other peripheral components.
Note
LIMs are controlled by the software version that governs the slot controller to which it is attached.
