an SSC card equipped with an IP Expansion daughterboard. Slot 14 of the Expansion contains the NTDK16 48-port Digital Line card.

Figure 12 "Cabinet and Chassis system IP and fiber expansion configuration" (page 45) shows another example of a "mix-and-match" configuration in which a Main Cabinet uses both fiber and IP cabling to connect two Expansion Cabinets and one Expansion Chassis. The Expansion Chassis is equipped with a Chassis Expander.

Note: Figure 12 "Cabinet and Chassis system IP and fiber expansion configuration" (page 45) is only an example of one of many possible configurations using Cabinets and Chassis.

In this example, the SSC card in the Main Cabinet has one dual-port Fiber Expansion daughterboard installed in the top connector and one single-port IP Expansion daughterboard installed in the bottom connector. The dual-port Fiber Expansion daughterboard in the top connector supports card slots 11–20 and 31–40. The single-port IP Expansion daughterboard in the bottom connector supports card slots 21–30.

Note: When both Fiber and IP Expansion daughterboards co-exist in a system, configure the Fiber Expansion daughterboard as expansions 1 and 3 and the IP Expansion daughterboard as expansions 2 and 4.
