1.2 USING THE SMARTSWITCH MANUAL SET Each SmartSwitch interface module that can be inserted in the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is shipped with a module user’s guide. For example, the 7E03-24 Ethernet SmartSwitch Interface Module User’s Guide explains the physical characteristics, specifications, and installation procedures of the 7E03-24 Module.
The other two slots can support any combination of Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and ATM SmartSwitch interface modules. Spanning the rear wall of the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is the SmartSwitch Bus. All modules that are inserted into the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch connect to the SmartSwitch Bus. All communication between modules within the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is achieved via the SmartSwitch Bus.

P W R MAC ADR Figure 1-1. 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch Because the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch does not attach to the data channels on the backplane of an MMAC chassis, data can not be transmitted internally from SmartSwitch interface modules to the other modules in the MMAC chassis.
1.3.1 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module The 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module is the only processing and management element in the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch. The 7X00 Module has no front panel data ports. All data enters and exits the 7X00 Module via the SmartSwitch Bus on the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch’s backplane.
Introduction 1.3.3 Operations Data packets entering through the front panel of a SmartSwitch interface module in the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch are converted by the module’s hardware into frames that have a common “canonical” format. Canonical frames are forwarded along the 7C03’s SmartSwitch Bus to the 7X00 Module in slot one.
