2.6.5 XC-VXC-10G Compatibility
The XC-VXC-10G card supports the same features as the XC10G card. Either the XC10G or
XC-VXC-10G card is required for OC-192, OC3-8, and OC12-4 operation and OC-4 8 AS operation.
If you are using Ethernet cards, the E1000-2-G or the E 100T-G must be used when the XC-VXC-10G
cross-connect card is in use. When upgrading from an XC10G card to an XC-VXC-10G card, refer to
the “Upgrade Cards and Spans” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide for more information.
Also refer to the “2.1.2 Card Compatibility” section on page 2-3.
2.7 AIC-I Card
Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.4.6 AIC-I Card Specifications” section on page A-15.
The optional Alarm Interface Controller–International (AIC-I) card provides customer-defined
(environmental) alarms and controls and supports local and express orderwire. It provides
12 customer-defined input and 4 customer-defined input/output contacts. The physical connections are
through the backplane wire-wrap pin terminals. If you use the additional AEP, the AIC-I card can support
up to 32 inputs and 16 outputs, which are connected on the AEP connectors. A power monitoring
function monitors the supply voltage (–48 VDC). Figure 2-9 shows the AIC-I faceplate and a block
diagram of the card.
