PIM and VoIP Module Overview
J-series Services Routers accept Physical Interface Modules (PIMs) and Avaya VoIP
modules in the slots on the front of the chassis.
CAUTION: PIMs and VoIP modules are not hot-swappable. You must power off the
Services Router before removing or inserting a PIM or VoIP module. Ensure that the
PIMs and VoIP modules are installed in the router chassis before booting up the
system.
A Physical Interface Module (PIM) is a network interface card that is installed on a
J-series Services Router, to provide physical connections to a LAN or a WAN. The
PIM receives incoming packets from the network and transmits outgoing packets to
the network. Each PIM is equipped with a dedicated network processor that forwards
incoming data packets to the Routing Engine, and receives outgoing data packets
from the Routing Engine. During this process, the PIM performs framing and
line-speed signaling for its medium type.
For a complete list of supported PIMs, see “Field-Replaceable PIMs” on page 46.
Avaya VoIP modules are installed in the router chassis like PIMs, but are controlled
by the Avaya Communication Manager (CM) software rather than the JUNOS Internet
software. For a complete list of supported modules, see “Avaya VoIP
Modules” on page 67.
