Introduction
 
The 9E132-15, 9E133-36, 9E138-12, and 9E138-36 MicroLAN™ Switch Modules, 
shown in Figure 1-1, are four channel Ethernet bridges and routers. Up to three 
front panel Ethernet networks can be connected to this module and they can be 
bridged/routed to any other Ethernet segment and to any other SmartSwitch 
9000 module via the FNB bus (acting as the fourth port).
 
Features
 
Processor
 
The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules are equipped with an advanced Intel i960 
microprocessor. This microprocessor provides a platform for all management 
functions within a scalable RISC-based architecture.
 
System Management
 
The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules provide interfaces to the two System 
Management Buses (SMB-1 and SMB-10) for intermodule management.
 
Connectivity
 
The 9E132-15 provides four RJ-45 ports and one EPIM slot for each of the three 
channels. See Chapter 5 for information on the use of EPIMs.
The 9E133-36 has one 50-pin front panel for each of the three channels, providing 
12 individual Ethernet connections each. 
The 9E138-12 provides four ST-type multi-mode fiber optic connections for each 
of the three channels, for a total of 12 connections.
The 9E132-15, 9E133-36, 9E138-12, and 9E138-36 MicroLAN™ Modules will 
be referred to collectively as the Ethernet MicroLan Modules.
