The Campus ® Remote Ethernet eXpress (Campus-REX) RS Interface Card
installs into a:
• Campus-Star ® chassis, along with a Campus-RS ™ (Rate Selectable)
Line Unit
• Standalone Campus-RS Desktop Unit
This comprises half of a High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL)
transmission system. When connected to another Campus-RS, Campus-T1
® ,
Campus-768 ® , or Campus-E1 ® Desktop Unit or Line Unit, the Campus-RS
system can transport digitized voice, data, and video signals over existing
copper wire at a number of different HDSL rates.
The Campus HDSL system provides a connection between geographically
distributed Ethernet Local Area Networks (LANs) in a campus environment.
To provide the connection, the Campus-REX performs transparent 802.3
MAC bridging or static IP routing over an HDSL line. You can use existing
telephone-grade copper wiring as the HDSL transmission medium.
This version of the Campus-REX must be installed in a
Campus-RS or Campus-HRS Desktop Unit or with a
Campus-RS or Campus-HRS Line Unit. It cannot be installed
in an older Campus Desktop Unit or with an older Campus
Line Unit.
