OVERVIEW

The DLE02-MA and the DLE52-MA, shown in Figure 1-1, are
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet interface modules for the DLM6C-AA chassis.
The DLE02-MA has 24 RJ45 switched ports. The DLE52-MA has 16
RJ45 switched ports and 1 slot for an optional High Speed Interface
Module (HSIM) or Very High Speed Interface Module (VHSIM).
The DLE02-MA and the DLE52-MA can be used to connect individual
high-bandwidth user devices, such as workstations, or to provide a central
switching point for multiple 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet segments. The
optional HSIMs provide high speed uplinks to other networking
technologies such as Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Fiber Distributed
Data Interface (FDDI), Wide Area Network (WAN) and Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM). HSIMs also provide additional Fast Ethernet ports
in varying media types. The optional VHSIMs provide very high speed
uplinks to networking technologies such as ATM and Gigabit Ethernet.
