Chapter 2 Installing the 9E312-12 Module The 9E312-12 module occupies two slots in the MMAC-Plus chassis. The module must be installed with the left side (as viewed from the front) in an odd numbered slot, and the right side in an even numbered slot. The INB Terminator Modules must be installed on the rear of the chassis before powering NOTE up this module. Refer to the INB Terminator Modules Installation Guide for information and installation procedure. To install the 9E312-12 module,

Chapter 3 Operation The 9E312-12 module is a thirteen port device; twelve front panel ports, each represents a separate Ethernet collision domain and one port connected to INB1. As shown in Figure 3-1, Ethernet Network Interface Blocks (ENIBs) convert data packets received from any front panel port into a canonical frame format before forwarding to the Fast Packet Switch (FPS), while the Internal Network Bus Network Interface Block (INB NIB) converts data packets received from the INB

Operation ENIB The Ethernet Network Interface Block (ENIB) converts Ethernet data packets received through front panel ports into a common canonical format that allows the Fast Packet Switching Engine to determine the proper destination port. The ENIB also converts data packets from the common canonical format back to Ethernet data packets for transmission out front panel ports. Fast Packet Switch The Fast Packet Switch (FPS) is a hardware based switch design that is the key build
