ONcore Ten-Slot Hub with Enhanced TriChannel and RingChannel Backplanes.


ONcore Switching Hub is a next-generation intelligent switching hub platform which delivers the reliability, flexibility and manageability needed for enterprise networking, now and in the future. It provides complete investment protection, supporting Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI modules of the ONline System Concentrator and it provides a seamless migration path to packet and cell switching technologies. Available in both ten-slot and seventeen-slot models, the ONcore Switching Hubs offer a variety of backplane configurations: Ethernet (enhanced TriChannel), Token Ring (RingChannel) and High-Speed Switching (SwitchChannel). Its Distributed Management Architecture is flexible and scalable. The protocol-independent Distributed Management Module occupies one hub slot; individual Network Monitor Cards (module-based) can be added as additional simultaneous network monitoring is needed. ONcore modules support port switching for Ethernet and Token Ring networks. The ONcore Switching Hub also delivers an Intelligent Power Management Architecture and Intelligent Inventory Management.

ONcore Switching Systems Highlights

  • Delivers Advanced Functionality to Meet Today's Networking Challenges while Providing a Platform for Tomorrow's Networking Needs.

  • Incorporates Extensive Fault Tolerance with Load-Sharing Power Supplies, Fault-Tolerant Controller Modules, Redundant Links, Fault-Tolerant Management, Redundant Fans and Backup Hubs for Maximum Uptime.

  • Offers Multiple Back-Plane Options, Ranging from Traditional Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI LAN Services to LAN Packet Switching and ATM Cell Relay Settings at Gigabit/Second Rates.

  • Provides Complete Investment Protection for ONline Networks - Accepting Existing ONline Modules as well as New ONcore Modules.

  • Provides Intelligent Inventory and Power Management for Ease of Physical Maintenance and Network.

  • Investment Protection - Present and Future

    The ONcore Switching Hub provides investment protection by accepting all existing media modules in Chipcom's ONline Concentrator family, plus supporting future technologies. The ONcore Switching Hub can include up to three backplanes: enhanced TriChannel, RingChannel, and SwitchChannel. TriChannel supports ONcore Ethernet module and all ONline modules. RingChannel supports Ring topology networks: Token Ring and FDDI. The SwitchChannel backplane provides over 16Gbps of ATM cell-switching capacity and 2Gbps of packet-switching capacity. You can upgrade your network at your pace, as your network expands. You can upgrade your ONcore Hub to support whatever technology is required in your network. In addition, the ONcore backplanes offer the best in intelligent port and module switching for both Ethernet and Token Ring. With the flexibility to configure your network dynamically, the ONcore Switching Hub gives you "bandwidth on demand."


    Comprehensive Fault Tolerance

    Chipcom delivers the most complete fault tolerant product in the industry with its ONcore Switching Hub. "N+1" load-sharing power supplies provide more than one kilowatt of power to the ONcore modules. N+1 load-sharing provides cost-effective power redundancy since only one more power supply than the system requires is needed for full backup. In addition, the ONcore System delivers an Intelligent Power Management Architecture. Whenever a new ONcore module is added to the ONcore Hub, the "signature" of the new module (power requirement stored in nonvolatile, on-board memory) is checked before powering up. If the new module requires more power than is available, the new module is not allowed to power on and the system alerts you of insufficient power. In the event of multiple power supply or fan failures, ONcore Power Management can execute a partial shutdown of modules based on the module-priority specifications you set, ensuring that mission-critical network services stay up and running.


    Intelligent Inventory Management

    The ONcore System also supports Automated Inventory Management of all system elements for asset management and servicing purposes. Via Chipcom's ONdemand Network Control System, any SNMP-based network management platform, or through an ASCII terminal, you can query each ONcore Hub device for its "signature" obtaining all model and serial numbers, hardware and software revision levels and power requirements for every system element.


    Intelligent Control

    Chipcom's ONcore Fault-Tolerant Controller Module provides system clock signals and essential system services for Chipcom's ONcore Switching Hubs and all ONcore and ONline modules. The Fault-Tolerant Controller Module provides the processing power for all the environmental monitoring features of the hub: hub temperature, fan status and power supply status. The Fault-Tolerant Controller Module resides in the ONcore Hub's dedicated controller slots, saving space in the hub payload for ONcore and ONline management and media modules. Two Fault-Tolerant Controller Modules are supported in the same hub, providing for "automatic switchover" redundancy of the controller function.
