Features
The following sections provide an overview of the system features.
X16-C Input/Output Modules
The Matrix X16‐C supports Input/Output Modules (IOM) which perform all system packet
forwarding. The X16‐C provides 16 slots to install the IOMs.
forwarding. The X16‐C provides 16 slots to install the IOMs.
Physical connectors for these Ethernet IOMs include:
•
Single and Multimode Fiber (SMF, MMF), 10‐Gigabit Form Factor Pluggables (XFP)
•
SMF/MMF, 1‐Gigabit Form Factor Pluggables (SFP)
Supported transceivers for XFP and SFP connectors are:
•
Serial MMF at 850 nm wavelength with a 65‐meter (213‐foot) reach
•
WWDM (Wide‐Wavelength‐Division Multiplexed) and MMF at 1310 nm wavelength with a
300‐meter (984‐foot) reach
300‐meter (984‐foot) reach
•
WWDM and Serial SMF at 1310 nm wavelength with a 10‐kilometer (6‐mile) reach
•
Serial SMF at 1550 nm wavelength with ranges up to 80 kilometers (49.7 miles)
•
Copper, 1000BASE‐T 1.25 GBd at 1550 nm wavelength with a 100‐meter (328‐foot) reach
IOMs are equipped with the IBM PowerPC 440GX, 600 GHz processor and 512 MB of memory.
Each module also provides 512 KB of FLASH which stores the POST diagnostics and system boot
code. An EEPROM stores from 2 to 48 IEEE MAC addresses, depending on the number of physical
interfaces per IOM, and manufacturing data.

X16-C Control Module
The X16‐C provides a Control Module (CM) to centrally control the system. This module hosts the
management software and protocols for system operations. A second slot is available to install an
optional CM for a redundant, high availability configuration. When in tandem, the CMs are set to
either Active or Standby state, which is determined by the CMs themselves using an internal
algorithm. The CMs communicate across two channels with one reserved as a high‐availability
link.

CMs are equipped with the Pentium M 1.66 GHz processor and include 1 GB of memory

The CMs can be hardware reset—similar to a power recycle—using the RESET button on the front
panel.

A 1‐GB Compact FLASH card is provided on the CM to store multiple system boot images and a
minimum of two configuration files. For information about downloading firmware and software,
refer to the Matrix X Router Configuration Guide. The chassis serial number and 4 MAC addresses
are not stored in the CM, but on a Chassis PROM which is on the chassis backplane and not the
control module. For redundancy, there are two Chassis PROMs per chassis.

The CM also provides one USB port, one serial COM (Console) port, and one Ethernet port for
system management. The USB port is useful for fast downloading of configuration files, while the
Ethernet port is useful as a network management interface, for example, on a chassis where all the
interfaces are 10‐Gigabit Ethernet. The Ethernet interface also supports Access Control Lists
