The MSM software package is compatible with the ATM module software package
when the following conditions are true:
• Base ExtremeWare version numbers match
• Technology release names match
• Extended major version numbers match
• Extended minor version number of the MSM software package is equal to or greater
than the extended minor version of the ATM module software package
The extended build number is ignored for compatibility comparisons.
For example, MSM software package ExtremeWare V6.1.8 (Build 12) Project
IP_SERV_TECH_REL V4.2.60 is compatible with ATM module software package
ExtremeWare V6.1.8 (Build 12) Project IP_SERV_TECH_REL V4.1.50, but is not compatible
with ATM module software package ExtremeWare V6.1.8 (Build 12) Project
IP_SERV_TECH_REL V4.3.60.

Cables and Connectors

Extreme Networks offers the ATM module in the following configuration:
• A3cSi: four OC-3c/STM-1 single-mode, intermediate-reach optical interfaces
The A3cSi (single-mode version) operates in the 1310 nanometer (nm) wavelength
window, but at a typical maximum cable distance of 15 km or 9.32 (mi). The ATM
module uses industry-standard duplex SC optical-fiber connectors.
Use the appropriate type of optical-fiber cable to connect the ATM ports of your
BlackDiamond 6800 series switch to another switch or router.
