 ZXUR 9000 Board Classification

Switching board deals with the switching in control plane

Switching Board (BASE) and media plane (FABRIC). Besides the intra-
subrack switching, it also provides switching channels
for all inter-subrack communication.

Processing board handles the protocol processing in

Processing Board control plane and user plane, and is responsible for the
overall processing and control in terms of O&M.

Interface board offers access of STM-1, E1/T1,

Interface Board CSTM-1, FE GE(10GE) via interfaces including A,
Abis, Gb, Iu, Iub and Iur to meet various requirements
of networking.
