G-Series Gigabit Ethernet Transponder Mode

The ONS 15454 and ONS 15454 SDH G-Series cards can be configured as transponders. ONS 15327

G-Series cards cannot be configured as transponders. Transponder mode can be used with any

G-Series-supported GBIC (SX, LX, ZX, coarse wavelength division multiplexing [CWDM], or dense

wavelength division multiplexing [DWDM]). Figure 23-6 shows a card level overview of a transponder

mode application.
