The CX950 Access Switch provides a multiservice platform which supports broad range of LAN/WAN communications protocols, capabilities, and environments. The CX950 converges data, voice and video over a choice o services including ATM, Frame Relay, IP and ISDN. This chapter presents a functional and hardware overview of the components that make up the CX950.
LAN on the user side, and WAN protocols, such as ATM, X.25, ISDN, and Frame Relay, on the network side. The I/O cards also provide the port connectors that physically connect the CX950 to the user and network devices.
1.2.2 Power Supply The CX950 contains one universal-input (85V - 264 VAC) DC power supply that provides +5V and +12V to the motherboard. Voice applications require a Ring Generator card to provide -12VDC, -48VDC, and 86 VAC (ringing voltage) to th Voice I/O cards.
Kbps (G.726), or 64 Kbps (G.711) on the system bus. Dual Analog The Dual Analog Voice (DAV) I/O cards enable the CX950 to transmit and Voice I/O Card receive voice and fax data. Each card supplies two analog voice/fax ports controlled by FXO, FXS, or E&M SLIM Line Interface Drivers (SLIM LIDs).

The CSU/DSU cards enable the CX950 to exchange data over digital networks. 56K/64K CSU/ DSU Card The cards feature 56K, switched-56, and 64K Clear Channel capabilities. The T1/E1 I/O card enables the CX950 to connect to a full or fractional public T1/ T1/E1 I/O Card E1 network. 3021M100-002...
1.2.5 Constraints Certain I/O cards cannot coexist in the same CX950 chassis due to the use o faster DSPs (Digital Signaling Processors). A C.54 DSP is used on the DAV I/O card, the BRI-DV I/O card, the DIM I/O card. These cards therefore cannot be used in the same chassis as the DDVC card (which must be used with the ISDN S/T I/O Card) and the Analog Voice I/O card, which use a C.31 DSP.
