E Series Circuit Configurations
Caution Multi-card Etherswitch circuits are not supported on UPSR.
Note Before making Ethernet connections, choose a STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, or STS-12c circuit size.
Note When making an STS-12c Ethernet circuit, Ethernet cards must be configured as Single-card
EtherSwitch. Multicard mode does not support STS-12c Ethernet circuits.
9.4.2 E Series Point-to-Point Ethernet Circuits
The ONS 15454 can set up a point-to-point (straight) Ethernet circuit as Single-card or Multicard.
Multicard EtherSwitch limits bandwidth to STS-6c of bandwidth between two Ethernet circuit points,
but allows adding nodes and cards and making a shared packet ring. Single-card EtherSwitch allows a
full STS-12c of bandwidth between two Ethernet circuit points.
