Chapter 5 Ethernet Cards
5.2.1 E100T-G Slot Compatibility
5.2.1 E100T-G 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 SDH can act independently or as a single Ethernet switch. You can create logical SDH ports by provisioning a number of SDH channels to the packet switch entity within the ONS 15454 SDH. Logical ports can be created with a bandwidth granularity of VC-4.
5.2.2 E100T-G Card-Level Indicators
The E100T-G card faceplate has three card-level LED indicators (Table 5-3).
Table 5-3 E100T-G Card-Level Indicators
Card-Level Indicators | Description |
| |
Red FAIL LED | The red FAIL LED indicates that the card’s 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. |
| |
Green ACT LED | A 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. |
| |
5.2.3 E100T-G Port-Level Indicators
The E100T-G card also has 12 pairs of LEDs (one pair for each port) to indicate port conditions (Table 5-4). You can find the status of the E100T-G card port using the LCD screen on the
ONS 15454 SDH 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.
Table 5-4 | E100T-G Port-Level Indicators |
| | |
LED State | | Description |
| | |
Amber | | Port is active (transmitting and/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 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. |

5.3 E1000-2-G Card
The ONS 15454 SDH uses E1000-2-G cards for Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps). The E1000-2-G card provides two IEEE-compliant, 1000-Mbps ports for high-capacity customer LAN interconnections. Each port supports full-duplex operation.
