Accommodates various ATM lines
The ATM Switch can interface various ATM lines by accommodating both
optical lines and metallic lines, different throughputs, and different protocols.
Because the ATM Switch is equipped with interfaces for various ATM lines, it
can be used for a wide range of multimedia applications depending on the
need.

Structure of the ATM Switch
With its compact dimensions, the ATM Switch can be placed on a desktop or
on a standard 19-inch rack. To facilitate on-site maintenance after the
operation begins, the ATM Switch is designed to allow service access from
the front of each unit.

Interworking with other types of networks
Interworking between ATM network and other types of networks can be
realized by installing an interworking line card (Frame Relay card FR-DS1)
and a Circuit Emulation card (CE-DS1) in the ATM Switch.
