OVERVIEW
 
The HSIM-A6DP extends the functionality of your Cabletron Systems 
interface module or standalone hub to include remote uplink capability. It 
allows remote connectivity using ATM technology.
Two APIMs can be installed in the HSIM-A6DP, to provide redundant 
ATM links from the HSIM to a switched ATM network. Cabletron 
Systems provides a variety of APIMs that let you select the configuration 
of your choice. If port redundancy is not a requirement, then only one 
APIM needs to be installed.
The HSIM-A6DP supports two types of Virtual Channels: Permanent 
Virtual Channels (PVCs), and Switched Virtual Channels (SVCs), which 
are compliant with the ATM Forum’s User-Network-Interface (UNI) for 
SVC signaling specification.

ATM Port Interface Modules (APIMs)
 
The HSIM-A6DP supports two Cabletron Systems APIMs for ATM 
connectivity and redundancy. You can easily install APIMs into the 
HSIM-A6DP for the interface of your choice. The two APIMs installed 
may be of any combination of physical layer cable type and bandwidth. 
For example the APIM installed in slot 1 could support Twisted Pair cable 
and provide 155 Mbps of bandwidth, while the APIM installed in slot 2 
could support Coaxial cable and provide 45 Mbps of bandwidth.
