Chapter 1 Passport 8250

This section describes the Passport 8250 device. Youcan view the following topics in this section:

• “Passport 8250 functions” (page 15)

• “Passport 8250 hardware” (page 16)

Passport 8250 functions

The Passport 8250 is an Integrated Access MUX, a rugged,high-densityunit that provides a seamless bridge between traditional voice networks and ATM networks. The Passport 8250 multiplexes TDM trafﬁc - voice, video, IP, frame relay, X.25, and SNA - on DS-1/E1 trunks to OC-3c/STM-1 ﬁber trunks (ATM over SONET/SDH). Using ATM Forum AAL1 circuit emulationstandards,traditionalvoice networktrafﬁc(dial-up Internet access, modem data trafﬁc, telephony, and more) is seamlessly transported over the efﬁcient, high-bandwidth ATM network. Deployed at either the service provider setting or customer premises (campus,apartment building, or ofﬁce center, for example), the high-density unit supports up to 48 DS-1/E1 ports, up to 336 DS-1s/E1s in a single frame.

Communication ports

The communication ports, which are locatedonthe network board, include a serial port, ethernet port, and redundant ATM uplink port.

Serial port

The serial port connects the Passport 8250 device to a local host using a RS-232 cable. Using a standard terminal emulation software application running on the local host, you can directly access thecommandlineinterface (CLI).

Use theserialportto conﬁgure the Passport8250device for operations before the Passport 8250 device is connected to your network.

Ethernet port

The ethernet port connects the Passport 8250 device to a local area network (LAN) using a RJ-45 cable.You can use a Telnet session on a remote host to remotely access the CLI, provided the Passport 8250 device already has an Internet protocol (IP) address.

Use theethernetportto conﬁgure the Passport8250devicewhile the Passport 8250 device is connected to your network and to communicate with other devices within your network.

Dual power supply modules

Fan module

241-5101-200 R2.2

Redundant ATM uplink port

The ATM uplink port connects the Passport 8250 device to the ATM network using a STM-1/OC-3 single-mode or multi-mode ﬁber optic cable. The ATM uplink port has two physical connectors and one connector is conﬁgured as the primary port that listens for incoming signals from the ATM network.

The Passport 8250 device uses two ﬁeld-replaceable 10 amps, -10 V DC power supply modules. Each power supply module has a 3w3-D connector and independent power feed.

If a power supply module fails, the Passport 8250 device can operate temporarilyusingonepower supplymoduleand one powersupplyﬁller pack.

A ﬁeld-replaceable fan module cools the internal components of the Passport 8250 device.

Passport 8250 software

You do not have to order software for the Passport 8250. The Passport 8250 comes preloaded with the operating system and the applications it needs. Base trunking software is included with the integrated trunk/control card (network board), and the CES software with the access modules (service boards), so no service support is required.

You can use the Network Management System (NMS) software to manage the Passport 8250 devices. For information on installing and conﬁguring the NMS software, see NTP

Guide

Software compatibility

Passport 8250 release 2.2 can be used with the following software:

• Passport software that is release 5.0 or higher.

• NMS software that is release 11.1 or higher.
