 The FVC accessNGI (**N**ext**G**eneration**I**nternet) atm switch is manufactured by First Virtual Communications ([[http://www.fvc.com|www.fvc.com]]) which seems seems defunct now.
 It is intended as an access level switch and interfaces with 2mb/s leased lines, 25MB/s workstations and 155MB/s servers.
-It supports both SVCs and PVCs. The basic switch has an ethernet port on the control module next to the RJ45 console connection. This is not the same pinout as Cisco use. The ethernet port interfaces to the atm network using Lan Emulation. An alternative module can supply 6 ethernet ports.

The ethernet port interfaces to the atm network using Lan Emulation. An alternative module can supply 6 ethernet ports. All the ports in this module are on the same ELAN, the choice of ELAN is made at the vether modue level. All the ethernet ports are 10MB/s.
+I was told that the firmware running is FORE's ForeThought, so some of the commands are similar to [[config-asx200bx|ASX200BX Config and info]].
 The built in ethernet port uses LAN Emulation to bridge to atm, but seems unable to terminate an rfc1483 pvc. We used to use them as an access switch on the end of a 2MB/s G703 leased line, the ethernet port linked in to an ethernet switch, and the 25MB/s ports is used for a few pc's which need to connect to different networks.
