Chipcom ONcore
Part Number: CHP-6017C-AC

ONcore Seventeen-Slot Hub with Enhanced TriChannel, RingChannel
and Switch Channel 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.

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.
