Cisco

 Series

Modular Access Platform

As part of a scalable Data Communications

Network (DCN) solution, including the

Cisco Catalyst

®

 2950G-24-DC switch,

Catalyst 2924M-XL switch, Catalyst

4003-DC switch, Cisco 3662-AC/DC-CO,

Cisco 3640, Cisco 3631-CO, and Cisco

2600 Series modular access platforms, the

Cisco 2600 Series supports central office

(CO) serial, X.25 and Internet protocol/

open system interconnection (IP/OSI)

interfaces for operations management in

Service Provider, Inter-Exchange Carrier

(IXC), and Post, Telephone and Telegraph

(PTT) networks. The Cisco DCN solution

supports synchronous optical network/

synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/

SDH) network element (NE) connectivity

for alarm monitoring and control, remote

provisioning, and software download.

Other operations systems network

applications include local number

portability and billing data collection. In

addition, competitive local exchange

carriers (CLECs) can use the Cisco 2600 in

small point of presences (POPs) or central

office colocations for digital subscriber line

access multiplexers (DSLAMs), voice

switches, and transmission operations

networking.

The new Cisco 2600XM-DC models are

based on the current Cisco 2600 platform

architecture, and extend the performance

by as much as 33%. The new models also

increase default platform memory and

provide increases in memory capacity at the

same price points when compared to the

current Cisco 2600 models. The new XM

functionality provides the same proven

technology of the current Cisco 2600 Series

platforms, including Cisco IOS® software

mainline feature support and the

modularity of Network Modules (NMs),

WAN Interface Cards (WICs) and

Advanced Integration Modules (AIMs).

Service Providers considering the Cisco

2600 for branch office applications should

now regard the Cisco 2600XM-DC as the

preferential platform for delivering high

performing, flexible solutions to branch and

remote offices.

The modular architecture of the Cisco 2600

Series allows interfaces to be upgraded to

accommodate network expansion or

changes in technology as new services and

applications are deployed. Service providers

can integrate the functions of multiple,
