Figure 3-20 DS3–transparent SSI
The maximum cable length for a DS3–transparent SSI is
450 feet (137.2 meters).
SSIs are installed in slots 2 through 5 in the RT IDU chassis and
are numbered SSI 1 through SSI 4, according to their positions in
the chassis:
Chassis slot SSI number
2 1
3 2
4 3
5 4
Slot 1 is occupied by the CCM.
LEDs on SSIs and fiber extender modules (FEMs) show:
• Module status (all SSIs and FEMs)
• Link status (if applicable)
• Line (or port) status (if applicable)
The subsections below show which LEDs are included on each
SSI or FEM and explain the meaning of the various LED on–off
conditions.
