E100T-G Card
4.30 E100T-G Card
Use the E100T-G when the XC10G cross-connect card is in use. The ONS 15454 uses E100T-G cards
for Ethernet (10 Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps). Each card provides 12 switched, IEEE
802.3-compliant, 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports that can independently detect the speed of an attached
device (auto-sense) and automatically connect at the appropriate speed. The ports auto-configure to
operate at either half or full duplex and determine whether to enable or disable flow control. You can
also configure Ethernet ports manually. Figure 4-33 shows the faceplate and a block diagram of the card.

The E100T-G Ethernet card provides high-throughput, low-latency packet switching of Ethernet traffic
across a SONET network while providing a greater degree of reliability through SONET “self-healing”
protection services. This Ethernet capability enables network operators to provide multiple 10/100 Mbps
access drops for high-capacity customer LAN interconnects, Internet traffic, and cable modem traffic
aggregation. It enables the efficient transport and co-existence of traditional TDM traffic with
packet-switched data traffic.
Each E100T-G card supports standards-based, wire-speed, layer 2 Ethernet switching between its
Ethernet interfaces. The 802.1Q tag logically isolates traffic (typically subscribers). 802.1Q also
supports multiple classes of service.
