| Yes to all questions... For some reason, they don't seem to have
put this information in a Sales Update article, although it's been
available for some time.
The following information is from one of the GIGAswitch/FDDI
technical data web pages (note that E1 is *NOT* supported on the
GIGAswitch/FDDI platform) - there is some scant mention of the
supported AGL modPHYs in the BL3.1 release notes in the problems and
restrictions section:
ATM modPHY Cards
Customer Installable Media Interface Modules
The ATM modPHY cards allow the exchange of data between
different ATM systems using particular Physical Layer (PHY)
types. ATM modPHY cards provide the media-specific portion
of an ATM interface to support ATM connectivity across
multiple platforms for different media types at speeds up to
155.52 Mb/s.
The host system provides the power, initialization, and
control for the modPHY card. The modPHY card is used with an
ATM segmentation and reassembly (SAR) or cell-switching line
card.
ATM modPHY cards are optional single-port daughter cards that:
. Provide a customer-installable, field-replaceable module
. Provide front insertion, hotswapping capabilities, and FLOWmaster
flow control if supported by the host system
. Support cabling and connectors for:
- STS-3c (155 Mb/s) multimode fiber (MMF), DAGGM-AA
- STS-3c (155 Mb/s) single-mode fiber (SMF), DAGGS-AA
- STS-3c (155 Mb/s) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or
STS-3c (155 Mb/s) screened twisted-pair (ScTP), DAGGU-AA
- T3 (44 Mb/s) coaxial, DAGGT-AA
- E3 (34 Mb/s) coaxial, DAGGE-AA
- E1 (2 Mbps) short reach UTP, DAGE1-AA
- T1 (1.54 Mbps), DAGT1-AA
Hosts which use modPHY cards include:
VMswitch 900
ATMswitch 900
GIGAswitch/ATM
GIGAswitch/FDDI
DECNIS 600 Router
Reference the host's firmware release notes to ascertain
which media options are currently supported by a host system.
