) is an access device that provides Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) 

connectivity via two Ethernet Port Interface Modules (EPIMs), and offers high-speed Wide Area 
Network (WAN) access to remote sites via two WAN Port Interface Modules (WPIMs). The 
CSX400 supports IEEE 802.1d transparent bridging, IP and IPX routing, ISDN, Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Network Address Translation (NAT) routing, and Inverse 
Multiplexing (IMUX) between Ethernet LANs across a WAN.

The CSX400 operates from a standard ac power source and the CSX400-DC operates from a dc 
voltage source to meet all the requirements for installation into Telephone Central Office facilities.

 

This section details the CSX400 hardware capabilities.

The CSX400 supports Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) including: Link Control Protocol (LCP), 
BNCP, IPCP, IPXCP, LQM, Multilink Protocol (MP) and CHAP and PAP, ISDN-BRI and Frame 
Relay protocols through one of the following WAN port interface modules (WPIMs):

The WPIM-T1 provides a T1 interface through a front panel RJ45 port and includes a built-in 
Channel Service Unit/Digital Service Unit (CSU/DSU) for direct connection to a T1 line. The 
WPIM-T1 provides both Full T1 or Fractional T1 using 56 or 64 Kbps Time Slots, with a total 
throughput of up to 1.544 Mbps.
