Universal Frame Module
Universal Frame Module
Table 2-33 shows the front and back cards supported for the universal frame module (UFM).
The UFM provides Frame Relay (FR) service across a connection between two IGX nodes. The module
supports ELMI and Frame Relay-to-ATM service interworking, and can support FR traffic through T1,
E1, V.35, X.21, or HSSI interfaces.
There are three front cards in the UFM card set. See the “UFM-C Front Cards” section on page 2-51 for
more information about the two UFM-C front card models, and see the “UFM-U Front Card” section on
page 2-52 for information on the UFM-U front card. See Table 2-33 for information on front and back
card compatibility.
