Cajun A500 ATM Switch User Guide

The 

admin interface

 command enables you to select between SONET and 

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH). Selecting SONET/SDH configures the Cajun 

A500's interface for SONET/SDH framing. The 155 Mb/622 Mb ATM interfaces follow 

either the SONET or the SDH physical layer standard. These standards specify the frame 

formats for the interface. Typically, the United States uses the SONET standard while 

European countries use the SDH standard. It is necessary for both ends of an ATM link to 

follow the same standard to ensure proper operation. This command enables the use of 

either standard.
