Interface Naming Conventions
Auxiliary Port Interfaces
Each CPU switch module has an auxiliary port interface. You can use this interface for modem
connections. This interface is named aux 0. The DUART provides two UART channels, both of which
connects to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel as the console and auxiliary ports. Typically, the
console port connects to a console for configuring, controlling, or debugging the CPU switch module.
WB-VOA Card Interfaces
WB-VOA (wide-band variable optical attenuator) modules have two types of interfaces:
•Voain interfaces
•Voaout interfaces
Voain Interfaces
The voain interface is the input interface on a WB-VOA module. It accepts the signal to be attenuated.
The naming convention for the voain interface on a VOA card is as follows:
voain slot/subcard/port
Voaout Interfaces
The voaout interface is the output interface on a WB-VOA module. It transmits the attenuated signal.
The naming convention for the voaout interface on a VOA module is as follows:
voaout slot/subcard/port
PB-OE Module Interfaces
PB-OE (per-band optical equalizer) modules have four types of interfaces:
•Voafilterin interfaces
•Voafilterin subinterfaces
•Voafilterout interfaces
•Voabypassin interfaces
•Voabypassout interfaces
Voafilterin Interfaces
The voafilterin interface identifies the physical port on the PB-OE that accepts the incoming DWDM
signal for power equalization.
The naming convention for the voafilterin interface on a PB-OE module is as follows:
voafilterin slot/subcard/port
