The HIP (see the following figure) provides one HSSI (up to 52 Mbps) port. This port allows you to choose from a range of connectivity options, including ATM, SMDS, Frame Relay, or private lines — all at speeds up to DS-3 or E3 (45 Mbps and 34 Mbps, respectively). Only a software configuration is necessary to accommodate these different network connections.
An HSSI cable is required for each HIP. All cables are 10 ft (3 m) long and must be ordered with the HIP. For cable part numbers, see the "Cables" chapter in this catalog.
