5.3.1 Slot Compatibility
5.3.1 Slot Compatibility
You can install the E100T-G card in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. Multiple E-Series Ethernet cards installed
in an ONS 15454 can act independently or as a single Ethern et switch. You can create logical SONET
ports by provisioning a number of STS channels to the packet switch entity within the ONS 15454.
Logical ports can be created with a bandwidth granularity of STS-1. The ONS 15454 supports STS-1,
STS-3c, STS-6c, or STS-12c circuit sizes.
5.3.2 E100T-G Card-Level Indicators
The E100T-G card faceplate has two card-level LED indicators, described in Table 5-5.
5.3.3 E100T-G Port-Level Indicators
The E100T-G card has 12 pairs of LEDs (one pair for each port) to indicate po rt conditions (Tabl e 5- 6).
You can find the status of the E100T-G card port using the LCD screen on the ONS 15454 fan-tray
assembly. Use the LCD to view the status of any port or card slot; the screen displays the number and
severity of alarms for a given port or slot.
5.3.4 Cross-Connect Compatibility
The E100T-G card is compatible with the XCVT, XC10G and XC-VXC-10G cards.
Table 5-5 E100T-G Card-Level Indicators
Card-Level Indicators Description
FAIL LED (Red) The red FAIL LED indicates that the card processor is not ready or that a
catastrophic software failure occurred on the E100T-G card. As part of the
boot sequence, the FAIL LED is turned on until the software deems the card
operational.
ACT LED (Green) The green ACT LED provides the operational status of the E100T-G. If the
ACT LED is green it indicates that the E100T-G card is active and the
software is operational.
SF LED Not used.
Table 5-6 E100T-G Port-Level Indicators
LED State Description
Yellow (Active) Port is active (transmitting or receiving data). By default, indicates the
transmitter is active but can be software controlled to indicate link status,
duplex status, or receiver active.
Solid Green (Link) Link is established. By default, indicates the link for this port is up, but can
be software controlled to indicate duplex status, operating speed, or
collision.
