2.5.1 ML-100T-8 Card Description
Caution Do not install CE-100T-8 and ML-100T-8 cards in OSP.
The ML-100T-8 card maps eight ports of 10/100 Ethernet encapsulated traffic into SDH VC4 payloads.
The card is compatible with high-order VC3 VCAT and the GFP and PPP/HDLC framing protocols. It
also supports LCAS, which allows hitless dynamic adjustment of SDH link bandwidth. Each 10/100
Ethernet port can be mapped to an SDH channel in increments of VC3 granularity.
The ML-100T-8 card provides a switched operating mode, with eight subscriber interfaces and two
virtual POS (VCG) interfaces mapped through the cross-connect for transport with other services
between network elements (NEs).
The circuit types supported are:
• VC3
• VC3-Nv VCAT (N=1–2)
• VC3-Nv LCAS (N=1–2)
• VC3-2v SW-LCAS
Additionally, the ML-100T-8 card supports packet processing, classification, QoS-based queuing,
traffic scheduling, and packet multiplexing services for Layer 2/3.
2.5.2 ML-Series Cisco IOS CLI Console Port
The ML-Series card has an RJ-11 serial console port on the card faceplate labeled Console. It enables
communication from the serial port of a PC or workstation running terminal emulation software to the
Cisco IOS command line interface (CLI) on a specific ML-Series card.
Due to space limitations on the ML-Series card faceplate, the console port is an RJ-11 modular jack
instead of the more common RJ-45 modular jack. Cisco supplies an RJ-11 to RJ-45 console cable adapter
with each ML-Series card. After connecting the adapter, the console port functions like the standard
Cisco RJ-45 console port. Figure 2-5 shows the RJ-11-to-RJ-45 console cable adapter.
