ATM Line Cards
The Models 8955, 8965, 8968, 8975, and 8985 Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM) Line Cards are circuit boards mounted in an 8620 or 8820 Broadband Loop
Carrier (BLC), used to transport ATM cells at high speeds over a single
twisted-pair connection or, optionally, two twisted-pair connections (8985 only).
They must be used in conjunction with a Shelf Concentration and Processing
(SCP) card, which is used to configure and monitor the line cards.
Model 8955 supports ReachDSL
®
2.2 concurrent with POTS.
Models 8965-B2 and 8968 support Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
(ADSL), ADSL2, and ADSL2+ concurrent with POTS. The Model 8965 has 24
DSL ports and the Model 8968 has 48 ports.
Model 8975 supports ReachDSL+, providing ADSL or ReachDSL 2.2 on a
port-by-port basis depending on the capabilities of the line and endpoint.
Model 8985-B2 supports 2-wire and 4-wire Single-pair High-speed Digital
Subscriber Line (SHDSL).
