3Com Router Safety, Regulatory, and Compliance Information43Com Router 5000 FamilyThe 3Com Router 5009 & 5012 are designed with a modular structure which can support not onlyintegrated Fast Ethernet (FE) interfaces, AUX and Console ports, but also abundant optionalSmart Interface Cards (SICs) and Multifunction Interface Modules (MIMs). The Router 5009 &5012 deliver high cost-performance ratio while compared with similar products. Therefore, it canserve as not only an access router in a large-sized branch but also a core router in a small-and-medium-sized Intranet. The Router 5012 is a rack-mounted 5009 with 32 Mbytes of flashmemory.The 3Com Router 5231, 5640 & 5680 has 8 MB flash memory. 5231 has 3 MIM slots, 5640 has 4MIM slots and 5680 has 8 MIM slots. The 3Com Router 5232, 5642 & 5682 has 32 MB flashmemory. They share the same slot configurations as 5231, 5640 & 5680. All the 5000 routers inthis class have integrated AUX & Console ports and 5231/5232 also has 2 built-in 10/100 ports.These routers offer high performance with high scalability which can be used for Regional Officeand Head Quarters.3Com Router 5000 Family supports the following Smart Interface Cards (SICs):z 1-port 10/100 SIC (SIC-1FE)z 1-port Serial SIC (SIC-1SA)z 2-port ISDN S/T SIC (SIC-2BS)z 1-port Fractional T1 SIC (SIC-T1-F)z 1-port Fractional E1 SIC (SIC-E1-F)z 1-port Analog Modem (SIC-AM)3Com Router 5000 Family supports a large number of Multi-function Interface Modules (MIMs)which are listed below:LAN interface modulez 1-port 10/100 Ethernet interface module (1FE)z 2-port 10/100 Ethernet interface module (2FE)WAN interface modulez 4-port Serial MIM (4SA)z 4-port Enhanced Serial MIM (4SAE)z 2-port Channelized E1/PRI MIM (2E1)z 4-port Channelized E1/PRI MIM (4E1)z 2-port Channelized T1 MIM (2T1)z 4-port ISDN S/T MIM (4BS)z 1-port ADSL MIM (1ADSL)z 2-port ADSL MIM (2ADSL)z 1-port Channelized T3 MIM (1CT3)z 1-port Channelized E3 MIM (1CE3)
