CAUTION: By design, the FIC-1AT3 is protected against lightning strikes. But

c when outdoor cabling is involved, you are recommended to add a special lightning

 

arrester at the input end of the E3/T3 cable for better protection.

 

Step 1: Connect the SMB connector of an E3/T3 cable to the Tx port on the

 

FIC-1AT3 and another end to the Rx port on another device.

 

Step 2: Connect the SMB connector of another E3/T3 cable to the Rx port on the

 

FIC-1AT3 and another end to the Tx port on another device.

 

Step 3: Check the behavior of the LINK LED on the FIC-1AT3 panel: OFF means

 

fault occurs on the line and the signal is out of synchronization. Check the line

 

status.

Introduction

Three ATM fiber interface card options are available with your router:

 

1-port ATM 155 Mbps multi-mode fiber interface card (FIC-1ATM-OC3MM)

 

1-port ATM 155 Mbps single-mode fiber interface card (FIC-1ATM-OC3SM)

 

1-port ATM 155 Mbps single-mode long-haul fiber interface card

 

(FIC-1ATM-OC3SML)

 

 

They provide the following functions:

 

 

Two frame formats: SDH STM-1 and SONET OC-3.

 

Scrambling in data transmission.

 

 

Line clock (when working as DTE interface), and internal clock (when working

 

as DCE interface)

 

 

 

Three test measures: local cell loopback, local payload loopback and remote

 

loopback.

For the ATM interface configuration procedures, refer to H3C MSR 20/30/50 Series

Routers User Manual.
