It reduces the number of signals/pins required for connec- tion to the PHY from 16 (for an MII-compliant interface) to between 6 and 10. RMII is capable of sup- porting 10 and 100 Mbit/s;...
Page 287 Transition Networks ION x6010 User Guide (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) A compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used in telecommunication and data communications applications. It interfaces a network device mother board (for a switch, router, media converter or similar device) to a fiber optic or copper networking cable. The SFP transceiver is specified by a multi-source agreement (MSA) between competing manufacturers.
Page 288 Transition Networks ION x6010 User Guide SNMP model (SNMP paradigm) The SNMP model can be looked at as a manager / agent paradigm, where the SNMP “manager” software is developed for the human direction of retrieving of information from an SNMP “agent. (The model can be viewed as a spy (manager) asking the agent for certain information in a specific format, and the receiving the information (or an explanation of why it is not being provided).
Page 289 Transition Networks ION x6010 User Guide STS-1 SONET (Synchronous Optical Networking) and SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) are standardized multiplexing protocols that transfer multiple digital bit streams over optical fiber using lasers or LEDs. The basic unit of framing in SDH is the Synchronous Transport Module, level 1 (STM-1) which operates at 155.52 Mbps.
Page 290 Transition Networks ION x6010 User Guide T1 Frame Formats - SF and ESF North American T1 facilities operate at 1.544 MBPS. Framing may be either Superframe (D4) format or Extended Superframe (ESF) format. A T1/E1 frame includes seven fields: 1. Preamble 7 octets of 1010_1010 2.
Page 291 Transition Networks ION x6010 User Guide TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) The basic communication language or protocol of the Internet and/or a private network (either an intranet or an extranet). TCP/IP is a two-layer program. The higher layer, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets that are transmitted over the Internet and received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the original message.
