摘要： A LAN to ATM switch module includes a memory with an ATM port, a LAN port and a processor port. Each of port separately reading and writing information to/from the memory. An ATM interface is included for reading information from the ATM port and converting the information into an ATM format. The ATM interface also converts ATM format information to be delivered to the ATM port and written to the memory. A LAN interface reads information from the LAN port and converts the information into LAN format. The LAN interface also converts LAN information from a LAN packet channel bus to the LAN port, to be written to the memory. The switch module also includes a processor for reading information in the memory through the processor port. The processor determines the processing need for the information, the processor modifies the information in the memory according to the processing needed by writing to the memory through the processor port and controlling the ATM and LAN interfaces according to the processing needed.

摘要翻译： LAN到ATM交换机模块包括具有ATM端口，LAN端口和处理器端口的存储器。 每个端口分别读取和写入信息到内存。 ATM接口包括用于从ATM端口读取信息并将信息转换成ATM格式。 ATM接口还将要传送到ATM端口的ATM格式信息转换并写入存储器。 LAN接口从LAN端口读取信息，并将信息转换为LAN格式。 LAN接口还将LAN信息从LAN分组信道总线转换为LAN端口，以将其写入存储器。 交换模块还包括一个处理器，用于通过处理器端口读取存储器中的信息。 处理器确定对信息的处理需求，处理器根据通过处理器端口写入存储器所需的处理来修改存储器中的信息，并根据所需的处理来控制ATM和LAN接口。
