How does an ATM switch work?
An ATM switch is responsible for cell transit through an ATM network. The job of an ATM switch is well defined. It accepts the incoming cell from an ATM endpoint or another ATM switch. It then reads and updates the cell header information and quickly switches the cell to an output interface towards its destination.
What is the process of withdrawing money from ATM?
How to Withdraw Money from an ATM Using an ATM Card?
- Step 1: Insert your card in the ATM slot.
- Step 2: Select your preferred language.
- Step 3: Enter the 4-digit PIN.
- Step 4: Select the service.
- Step 5: Select the account type.
- Step 6: Enter the transaction amount.

How does an ATM connect to the host?
Leased-line machines connect directly to the host processor through a four-wire, point-to-point, dedicated telephone line. Dial-up ATMs connect to the host processor through a normal phone line using a modem and a toll-free number, or through an Internet service provider using a local access number dialed by modem.
What is ATM topology?
An experimental general topology local area network based on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is described. This network is intended to be used to support multiservice traffic. The provision of guarantees of quality of service to various traffic types is an important feature of the network.
How is ATM card inserted?
Step 1: Go to an ATM and insert an ATM card. Make sure that the ATM card is inserted through the side with bank logo and chip and then taken out. Step 2: Next account holder will be required to select the language of his / her choice. Step 3: Now use the keypad and enter the four-digit PIN.
What is transaction type in bank?
A bank transaction is any money that moves in or out of your bank account. Types of bank transactions include cash withdrawals or deposits, checks, online payments, debit card charges, wire transfers and loan payments.
What are the important features of an ATM switch?
The following features are found in an ATM network:
- Interface types. The interface between ATM switches is called a Network to Network Interface (NNI).
- Switch types. ATM switches come in a variety of types and sizes.
- Attached devices.
- Link speeds.
- Attach media.
How do ATM machines communicate?
Like any other data terminal, the ATM has to connect to, and communicate through, a host processor. The host processor is similar to an Internet service provider (ISP) and it is the gateway through which all the various ATM networks become available to the cardholder or in other words (the person wanting the cash).
How routing and switching is done in ATM networks?
In the case of ATM networks, the routing decision is made for the first cell in a flow and a connection is established. Then the rest of the cells in the flow are sent via simple switches that forward the cells simply based on their Virtual Connection Identifier (VCI) and Virtual Path Identifier (VPI).
Is ATM a packet switched network?
ATM is a connection-oriented and packet-switched technology, which emerged in the 1980s. Data in ATM is transmitted in small packets, called cells, which have a fixed size of 48 bytes payload and 5 bytes header. To set up a connection, a path through the network, a virtual circuit, is established first.
