D.5.7 Slot Properties—LT
TheSlot Properties pane displays information about the Cisco ONS 15808 module that is installed in the
slot selected in the NE Explorer tree. Use this properties pane to change the module performance
monitoring thresholds.
The line transponder performs 3R regeneration of 2.5 Gbps and 10 Gbps optical signals and provides
performance and quality parameters based on forward error correction (FEC) overhead. Line
transponders are used in regeneration sites to retime, reshape, and regenerate low output signals. Line
transpondersdecode out-of-band (OOB) FEC information, perform error correction, and add OOB-FEC
encoding to transport signals.
A block diagram is shown in the following figure.
