5.2.1 E100T-G Slot Compatibility

5.2.1 E100T-G Slot Compatibility

You can install the E100T-G card in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. Multiple E-Series Ethernet cards installed in an ONS 15454 SDH can act independently or as a single Ethernet switch. You can create logical SDH ports by provisioning a number of SDH channels to the packet switch entity within the ONS 15454 SDH. Logical ports can be created with a bandwidth granularity of VC-4.

5.2.2 E100T-G Card-Level Indicators

The E100T-G card faceplate has three card-level LED indicators (Table 5-3).

Table 5-3 E100T-G Card-Level Indicators

Card-Level Indicators

Description

 

 

Red FAIL LED

The red FAIL LED indicates that the card’s processor is not ready or that a

 

catastrophic software failure occurred on the E100T-G card. As part of the

 

boot sequence, the FAIL LED is turned on until the software deems the card

 

operational.

 

 

Green ACT LED

A green ACT LED provides the operational status of the E100T-G. If the

 

ACT LED is green, it indicates that the E100T-G card is active and the

 

software is operational.

 

 

SF LED

Not used.

 

 

5.2.3 E100T-G Port-Level Indicators

The E100T-G card also has 12 pairs of LEDs (one pair for each port) to indicate port conditions (Table 5-4). You can find the status of the E100T-G card port using the LCD screen on the

ONS 15454 SDH fan-tray assembly. Use the LCD to view the status of any port or card slot; the screen displays the number and severity of alarms for a given port or slot.

LED State

 

Description

 

 

 

Amber

 

Port is active (transmitting and/or receiving data). By default, indicates the

 

 

transmitter is active but can be software controlled to indicate link status,

 

 

duplex status, or receiver active.

 

 

 

Solid Green

 

Link is established. By default, indicates the link for this port is up, but can

 

 

be software controlled to indicate duplex status, operating speed, or

 

 

collision.

 

 

 

5.3 E1000-2-G Card

The ONS 15454 SDH uses E1000-2-G cards for Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps). The E1000-2-G card provides two IEEE-compliant, 1000-Mbps ports for high-capacity customer LAN interconnections. Each port supports full-duplex operation.
