System Components
The variety of network interfaces allows the installation of a wide range of devices at remote sites.
As illustrated below, you can simultaneously choose bridges, routers, or host devices based on the
specific remote site requirements.
In the diagram above, the LAN Interface 128.1.1.1 is attached to the IP network 128.1.0.0. The WAN
Direct Host Interface represents LAN Interface 128.1.1.1 and allows the remote IP hosts to share the
network address space of 128.1.0.0. The WAN Interface 192.1.1.1 is logically attached to the IP
network 192.1.1.0. The RLAN Interface 100.1.1.1 is logically attached to the IP network 100.1.1.0.

The major components of the CyberSWITCH are:
•
System hardware consisting of a platform and an administration port provided by the
platform.
•
Four main categories of system software:
The boot device gains control at power-up. It runs diagnostics, downloads new versions of
operational software, and prepares the host processor for execution of operational software.
The flash file system stores a compressed image of operational software and I/O system
software. It also stores other necessary files for configuration and information storage.
The operational software provides system functionality, such as download and initialization of
the I/O subsystem. The I/O subsystem handles LAN I/O.
•
Remote ISDN devices which interoperate with the system and allow device access to network
resources.
More detailed descriptions of system software and hardware are included in the next two chapters.
The following section describes remote ISDN devices.
