Features

Slots

The IES-6000M has slots for hot-swappable 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-6000M.

Splitter Chassis

The IES-3000ST and IES-3016ST splitter chassis have 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.
The IES-3000ST has 15 splitter or extension card slots, and the IES-
3016ST has 16 splitter or extension card slots.

Hot-swappable Line 
Cards

The IES-6000 uses hot-swappable line cards.

Hot-swappable Splitter 
Cards

The IES-3000ST and IES-3016ST use hot-swappable splitter cards.

Management Switch 
Card

The IES-6000 accommodates a management switch card that switches 
traffic and forwards it between the line cards and other Ethernet switches.

Hot-swappable Fan 
Module

The IES-6000 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-6000 has dual, hot-swappable power modules. One power module 
is redundant. The IES-6000 can be fully powered by just one power module 
so the system can keep running while you replace a power module.

Alarm Port

The IES-6000 has three alarm input and three alarm output terminals to 
connect to other pieces of equipment.

Scalable Platform for 
Future Expansion

The flexible design of the IES-6000 allows service providers to start with 
minimum cost. As the number of users and applications increases, 
additional line cards can be added to support more subscribers.
