Nortel Networks NN43011-110 manual Expansion scenarios, Fiber Expansion daughterboard

Expansion scenarios 35

Each single-port daughterboard supports one Expansion. Each dual-port daughterboard supports up to two Expansions.

Fiber Expansion daughterboard

The Fiber Expansion daughterboards support the following fiber-optic cable solutions between Expansions:

•10-meter solution

•3-kilometer single-mode glass fiber solution

•3-kilometer multi-mode glass fiber solution

IP Expansion daughterboard

The IP Expansion daughterboards support the following IP cable solutions between Expansions:

•100-meter solution

•2-kilometer solution

•Customer Local Area Network (LAN) solution

Fiber Receiver card

You must install a Fiber Receiver card in slot 0 of each Expansion Cabinet or Expansion Chassis. Match the correct Fiber Receiver card with the Fiber Expansion daughterboard installed on the SSC card in the Main.

Like the Fiber Expansion daughterboards, the Fiber Receiver cards support the following fiber-optic cable solutions:

•10-meter solution

•3-kilometer single-mode glass fiber solution

•3 -kilometer multi-mode glass fiber solution

Expansion scenarios

The expansion capabilities for Small Systems allow great flexibility in the design and configuration of a system. Figure 5 "Main Cabinet connected to Expansion Cabinets with fiber-optic cable" (page 36) through Figure 10 "Chassis system IP expansion configuration including Chassis Expander" (page 42), starting on Figure 5 "Main Cabinet connected to Expansion Cabinets with fiber-optic cable" (page 36), illustrate the following options:

•Figure 5 "Main Cabinet connected to Expansion Cabinets with fiber-optic cable" (page 36) (see Figure 5 "Main Cabinet connected to Expansion Cabinets with fiber-optic cable" (page 36))

•Figure 6 "Main Cabinet connected to Expansion Cabinets with IP connectivity" (page 37) (see Figure 6 "Main Cabinet connected to Expansion Cabinets with IP connectivity" (page 37))
