Card-Level LEDs

Description

 

 

ACT/STBY LED

The ACT/STBY LED is green if the card is the active 15310E-CTX-K9 card.

(Green/Amber)

 

It is amber if the card is the standby card.

 

 

 

SYNC LED

 

The SYNC LED is green if the 15310E-CTX-K9 card detects both a primary

(Green/Amber)

 

and secondary clock reference. It is amber if the card detects only a single

 

 

clock reference.

 

 

 

2.2.5 15310E-CTX-K9 Port-Level Indicators

Two bicolor LEDs show the status per port (Ports 1 and 2). The port LED is green if the port is available to carry traffic and is provisioned as in-service. The port LED is red if there is a signal failure or loss of signal on the port.

2.3 CE-100T-8 Card

This section describes the features and functions of the Layer 1 Ethernet card, the CE-100T-8.

Note The CE-100T-8 card with PID 15310-CE-100T-8 is not compatible with the ONS 15310-MA SDH. The 15310-P-CE-100T-8 is compatible with the ONS 15310-MA SDH shelf assembly. If you install a 15310-CE-100T-8 in an ONS 15310-MA SDH shelf assembly, you will receive a mismatched equipment alarm (mismatchofEquipment). You can view the PID under the node view Inventory tab in CTC.

Caution Do not install CE-100T-8 and ML-100T-8 cards in OSP.

The CE-100T-8 card maps 8-port 10/100-Mbps Ethernet-encapsulated traffic into SDH payloads, making use of low-order (VC12) virtual concatenation (VCAT), high-order (VC3, VC4) VCAT, generic framing procedure (GFP), and Point-to-Point Protocol/high-level data link control (PPP/HDLC) framing protocols. It also supports the link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS), which allows hitless dynamic adjustment of SDH link bandwidth. The CE-100T-8 card provides eight RJ-45 10/100-Mbps Ethernet ports on the faceplate of the card. An inactive RJ-11 console port is also on the faceplate.

The circuit types supported are:

VC3 and VC4 CCAT

VC3-Nv VCAT (N = 1–3)

VC3-Nv LCAS (N = 1–3)

VC3-2v software LCAS (SW-LCAS) (compatible with ML-Series cards only)

VC12-Nv VCAT (N = 1-63)

VC12-Nv LCAS(N = 1-63)

Note The SW-LCAS is not supported on CE-100T-8 cards for interoperation with the CE-MR-6 and ML-MR-10 cards.

15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
