DS3XM-6 Card
The DS3XM-6 card, commonly referred to as a transmux card, provides six
Telcordia-compliant, GR-499-CORE M13 multiplexing functions. The DS3XM-6
converts six framed DS-3 network connections to 28x6 or 168 VT1.5s.
Optical Cards
The optical cards, with the exception of the original OC-48s and the OC-192,
reside in Slots 1– 6 and 12 – 17. The OC-48 and OC-192 cards reside in Slots 5,
6, 12, and 13. OC-48 Any Slot cards can reside in the same slots as all other
optical cards. You can provision an optical card as a drop card or span card in a
linear ADM (1+1), UPSR, or BLSR protection scheme.
Each card faceplate has three card-level LED indicators. When illuminated, the red
FAIL LED represents a hardware problem, the amber SF LED represents a signal
failure or condition (for example, a loss of frame or a high bit error rate), and the green
ACT LED indicates that the card is operational.
ONS 15454 optical cards have SC fiber connectors on the card faceplate.

The OC12 IR 1310 card provides one intermediate- or short-range,
Telcordia-compliant, GR-253 SONET OC-12 port. The port operates at 622.08
