Features

Slots

The IES-5000 main chassis has slots for hot-swappable DSL line cards and 
management switch cards.

Backplane

Connect the hot-swappable line cards and MSC cards to the backplane. 
The backplane is the inside rear panel of the IES-5000 main chassis.

Splitter Chassis

The splitter chassis has slots for splitter and extension cards, and Telco-50 
connectors for connecting to the subscribers and the PBX (Private Branch 
Exchange) or PSTN/ISDN (Public Switched Telephone Network/Integrated 
Services Digital Network) switch.

Hot-swappable Line 
Cards

The IES-5000 uses hot-swappable DSL line cards.

Hot-swappable Splitter 
Cards

The IES-5000ST uses hot-swappable splitter cards.

Management Switch 
Card

The IES-5000 accommodates a management switch card that switches 
traffic and forwards it between the DSL line cards and other Ethernet 
switches.

Hot-swappable Fan 
Module

The IES-5000 is equipped with a hot-swappable fan module with a filter to 
provide easy maintenance, greater reliability and increased system 
operating lifetimes.

Power Modules

The IES-5000 has dual, hot-swappable power modules. One power module 
is redundant. The IES-5000 can be fully powered by just one power module 
so the system can keep running while you replace a power module.

Scalable Platform for 
Future Expansion

The flexible design of the IES-5000 allows service providers to start with 
minimum cost. As the number of users and applications increases, 
additional DSL line cards can be added to support more subscribers.
