Expansion slots
The six expansion slots are slots 3–8 (menus 30-000 through 80-000), numbered as shown in
Figure 3-1. (Before installing an expansion card, be sure to read any instructions that might be
packaged with the card.)
Ethernet and WAN slots
Slot 9 is the Ethernet slot (menu 90-000). The Ethernet menu contains submenus and profiles
related to the local network, routing and bridging, and WAN connections. Slot A, Etherdata
(menu A0-000), is a virtual slot that provides support for 32 Ethernet sessions (to supplement
those supported by the Ethernet card). The serial WAN port is slot B (menu B0-000).
Note: There are no parameters associated with the Etherdata card. There is no submenu under
Etherdata on the Main menu. The Ethernet card and Etherdata card are the same type of card.
The Ethernet card allows 64 simultaneous Ethernet sessions. You configure the Ethernet
interface by means of parameters in Ethernet submenus. Each Etherdata card allows an
additional 32 Ethernet sessions.
How the VT100 menus relate to slots and ports on the MAX 3000
Depending on the model, a MAX 3000 unit has six BRI ports, two T1 or E1 ports, a T1 or E1
drop and insert port, and a serial port for WAN access. It also has two expansion slots. For the
purpose of organizing the menus in the VT100 interface, every port on the unit is assigned to a
slot. Except for two expansion slots, the slots are virtual. That is, they exist only for the sake of
organizing the menus to correspond to the physical ports.

Figure 3-2 shows how ports are assigned to slots on a MAX 3000. Not shown are slots 0 and 5,
which are exceptions in that they do not correspond to any physical port.
