Introduction
About the NV8500 Series Routers
Hybrid crosspoint cards and hybrid control cards can be used with both hybrid I/O cards and
standard I/O cards. In contrast, standard crosspoint cards and standard control cards cannot be
used with hybrid I/O cards.
The following 3 illustrations show schematically how signals are routed in a frame with (1) only
standard I/O cards, (2) only hybrid I/O cards, and (3) both standard and hybrid I/O cards installed.
