Chapter 6 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 Line Card Overview

Line Card Summary

The 1-port channelized OC-12/STM-4 line card uses fractional T1 (n x DS0), DS-1, E1, fractional E1

(n x DS0) and DS3 IP services to connect ISP customers to the network backbone. It provides full duplex

operation at OC-12 bandwidth rates using a (single-mode) fiber optic port that provides the Cisco 10000

series router with a single interface that connects up to 768 individual channelized options.

The 1-port channelized OC-12/STM-4 line card has one single-mode, intermediate-reach

SC OC-12/STM-4 duplex optical connector.

The line card can be configured into either SONET or SDH mode.

• When configured for SONET mode, the OC-12 port carries twelve DS3 (full rate, subrate, or

channalized down to DS1) channels, or 336 individual DS1, each capable of carrying one channel

at full or fractional rates.

• When configured for SDH mode, the STM-4 port carries twelve DS3 (full rate, subrate, or

channalized) channels, 336 individual DS1s, or 252 individual E1s; each DS1/E1 is capable of

carrying a single channel at full or fractional rates. The line card runs in either E1 or T1 mode, but

no mixture of T1/E1 is supported.

The line card supports up to 768 channels. The total number of channels cannot exceed the chassis

scaling limits.
