MPX Connectors
The Traverse shelf uses MPX optical fiber connectors to provide high-density and
easy-operation fiber connection for SONET/SDH and Gigabit Ethernet (SX and LX)
optical interface cards. The MPX connector design specifically supports high fiber
density applications in accordance with Bellcore GR-1435-CORE generic requirements
for multi-fiber connectors. Each slot has receptacles for up to two MPX ribbon fiber
connectors. Each connector supports from 1 to 12 fiber pairs, for a maximum fiber
count of 48 per slot.
Traverse Hardware Guide, Release TR4.0.x3
Page 14
Timing Interface
The backplane provides primary and secondary T1/E1 and CC2M (Composite
Clock—64 kHz and 2 MHz) input and output timing interfaces, and primary and
secondary BITS input timing interfaces. These timing interfaces are routed to both
control cards, which distribute system timing references to all cards.
System and Environmental Alarms Interface
Support is provided for the full set of system alarm outputs, sixteen environmental
alarm inputs, a fail-safe alarm, and a remote alarm cut-off. The environmental
telemetry inputs and outputs are supported by the optional Environmental Alarm Card
located on the main backplane, which provides additional system-management
functions to accommodate customer-defined alarm input/output requirements. The card
is field replaceable and can be replaced without disconnecting the alarm wiring.
Modem Interface
The RS-232C modem interface uses a vertical 8-pin RJ-45 connector that is configured
as a data terminal equipment (DTE) port for connection to an external modem,
supporting dial-up remote access to the active control card. Dial-up access can also be
achieved by installing a terminal server on the DCN and communicating via Telnet to
any other Traverse node on the network. A local VT -100 terminal (or a PC with VT-100
terminal emulation software) can also be connected to the RS-232C connector
(Backplane interface).
Ethernet Connection to Data Communications Network
The Traverse system has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface that can be used to connect
a Traverse node to the TransNav system (or to another EMS) and to other remote
management devices. The RJ-45 signal connections are bridged to both the primary and
secondary control cards. This enables the TransNav management system to always talk
to the active control card, even after a protection switching.
In-band Management
A network of Traverse nodes can be managed over the service provider’s data
communications network (DCN) as long as at least one Traverse node is directly
connected to that network through the Traverse DCN Ethernet interface. Traverse
nodes that have no direct connection to a DCN can communicate with the EMS
indirectly, through any Traverse node that is connected to the DCN.
Out-of-band Management
A Traverse node that is not directly connected to a DCN is able to learn a route to
Traverse nodes on the DCN without any explicit local provisioning of routing
information, as long as it is connected via the Force10 Control Plane to one or more
gateway Traverse nodes. Service providers must use static IP routes to enable devices
on the DCN to reach both gateway and non-gateway Traverse nodes.
4Traverse Hardware Guide, Release TR4.0.x
Page 15
Quality of Service
Traverse IP quality of service (IP QoS) provides filters and priority queueing with
statistics for all the traffic going over the Traverse DCC network. Priority is given to
traffic originating from the Traverse network and the TransNav server. An access
control list (ACL) manages IP hosts and networks for IP forwarding action to allow or
block traffic. Classifiers and queues prioritize and manage the IP forwarding based on
high priority or best effort.
Proxy ARP Management
The Traverse supports proxy address resolution protocol (ARP) on the Ethernet DCN
interface. Proxy ARP is the technique in which one host, usually a router, answers ARP
requests intended for another machine. By faking its identity, the router accepts
responsibility for routing packets to the real destination. Using proxy ARP in a network
helps machines on one subnet reach remote subnets without configuring routing or a
default gateway.
Power Terminals
The Traverse receives redundant -48 VDC feeds from the PDAP (PDAP-4S,
PDAP-15A, or legacy PDAP-4S) or third-party power distribution unit and distributes
these to each slot. Each slot has access to both A and B -48 VDC power feeds.
Electrical Connector Cards for Electrical Interfaces
The electrical connector cards (ECMs) enable copper and coax network interface
cabling using industry-standard cables and connectors.

Fan Assemblies
Introduction
Traverse Fan
Assemblies
The Traverse fan assemblies cool the control card and service cards in the shelf. The
fan assembly draws in cooling air and pushes the air through the perforated shelf.
This chapter includes the following topics:
•Traverse Fan Assemblies
•Fan Assembly Specifications
Each Traverse shelf requires one fan assembly that includes the following basic
features:
•Multiple fans in each fan assembly
•Circuitry for event and alarm reporting to the general control module cards (control
card)
•Generates cool air flow to cards even if one of the multiple fans fail to operate
•Receives redundant power from the Traverse system
The system increases fan speed when temperature levels are detected that exceed the
factory-set threshold. If an individual control card or service card exceeds 59 ºC, the
control card raises an alarm (TEMPWARN) in the user interface (GUI) and increases
the speed of the fans.
Also, if any one of the multiple fans in a fan assembly fails to operate, the following
actions occur:
•The LED on the front of the fan assembly turns red
•The System increases the speed of the other fans
•The control card raises an alarm in the GUI
Traverse fan assembly differences are as follows:
•Traverse 2000 and Traverse 1600 Front Inlet Fan Assemblies

Assemblies
One fan assembly installs in the rack directly below each Traverse shelf.
The Traverse 1600 and Traverse 2000 front inlet fan assembly (fan tray with integrated
air ramp and fan card) cools the GCM and service cards in the shelf. The Traverse 1600
fan assembly has five fans. The Traverse 2000 fan assembly has six fans. The fans draw
in cooling air from the front and push the air upward through the perforated shelf. The
air ramp above the shelf directs the heated air out through the rear of the shelf. Each
front inlet fan assembly can force up to 200 cubic feet per minute of cooling air.
Use one fan assembly per Traverse shelf. The Traverse 1600 system fan assembly is
mountable in either 19-inch (483 mm) or 23-inch (584 mm) wide racks. The Traverse
2000 system fan assembly fits into 23-inch (584 mm) racks.
The front inlet fan assembly not only receives redundant power from the Traverse
system as a standard feature, but also provides additional controller functionality for
maximum redundancy with:
•Redundant fuses for each Traverse power input (-48VA and -48VB)
•Redundant inrush control circuitry to protect against power surge on startup
•Three redundant sub-circuits, each capable of supplying power for up to two fans.
Each sub-circuit has additional fuses designed to blow before the main fuses blow,
thereby ensuring that a failure in any one circuit does not affect the other two.

services, and the fan tray. This chapter contains the following topics:
•GCM Card Description
•GCM Card Types
•Card SpecificationsNote: The information in this chapter applies to the GCM part of these cards only.

GCM Card
Description
The GCM controls and manages all Traverse shelf cards and services, and the fan tray.
The GCM can operate by itself or with a second GCM for redundancy.
Redundant GCMs provide the following key functions:
•System initialization
•Non-stop operations
•Persistent database
•System timing
•External timing interfaces
•Alarm relay interfaces, including environmental alarm inputs and outputs.
•Craft, management, and control interfaces
•Redundant control plane and management plane (including provisioning, alarm
reporting, maintenance, and diagnostics)
Each GCM comes with 128 MB Flash and 256 MB of Synchronized Dynamic Random
Access Memory (SDRAM). On-board Flash memory provides primary storage for
system software images. It holds two software images and two configuration databases.
System firmware, software, configuration, connection, and service databases can be
downloaded into the GCM’s Flash memory for software upgrades, system
preconfiguration, connection, and service preprovisioning. The GCM’s on-board
SDRAM provides run-time storage for system firmware, software, configuration,
connection, routing, forwarding, and service databases.
A single GCM failure will not affect systems operations and services. The fault-tol erant
operating system supports non-service-affecting system software upgrade and rollback.
GCM with Integrated Optics
The GCM with integrated optics provides overall control and management functions
for the Traverse platform as well as incorporating a single or dual OC-12/STM-4 or a
single OC-48/STM-16 interface for optical trunk connectivity. This card significantly
increases the configuration flexibility of the Traverse shelf by effectively freeing up
slots for revenue-generating service interface cards.
The GCM with optics offers a true carrier-grade design supporting 1:1 redundancy for
system control and optional 1+1 APS/MSP, and UPSR/SNCP. The GCM with
OC-48/STM-16 card also supports BLSR/MS-SP Rings.
For optical interface information, see Chapter 10—“SONET/SDH Cards.”
GCM with Integrated VT/VC Switching
A VT/TU switching function is available using an integrated VTX/ VCX component on
the GCM card. For VT/TU switching information, see Chapter 12—“VT/VC
Switching Cards,” VTX/VCX Integrated Cards.
Physical Access to the Traverse
GCM’s have an RS-232 interface (DB-9) for local technician access and Command
Line Interface (CLI) support using a character-oriented terminal, such as a VT-100
terminal or a PC with terminal emulation software.
1
The serial port on the front
2Traverse Hardware Guide, Release TR4.0.x
Page 33
faceplate of the GCM also supports hardware/firmware diagnostics and configuration
(IP address, card, and interface).
The GCM’s also have an Ethernet interface (RJ-45) with auto-sensing capability
located on the front faceplate, typically for temporary connection of a technician’s PC
laptop. One 10/100 Ethernet port is located on the front of the GCM for local technician
access. There is also a DCN 10/100 Ethernet port located on the backplane. It is
bridged to the active and standby GCM’s.
The GCM Ethernet interface is generally used for a temporary connection, but it can be
left in place to connect multiple devices to the LAN. When there are two operational
GCM cards in a Traverse node, each GCM’s Ethernet interface is active and usable for
technician access, regardless of that GCM’s active or standby status. The GCM
Ethernet interface on either the active or standby GCM can be used for CLI access as
long as the IP routing is set up correctly.
For more information on the management interface specifications, see the Traverse
Cabling and Cabling Specifications Guide, Chapter 8—“Management Interface
Specifications.” For instructions on setting IP addresses during initial commissioning,
see the Traverse Hardware Installation and Commissioning Guide,
Chapter 13—“Traverse Node Start-up and Commissioning.”
Timing Subsystem
Each GCM has a timing subsystem, which has a Stratum 3 clock, primary and
secondary T1/E1, and CC2M (Composite Clock—64KHz or 2MHz) synchronization
input and output2 interfaces. The Stratum 3 clock recovers timing from the primary or
secondary T1/E1 timing references, or any line interface, then generates and distributes
SONET/SDH-compliant clock and frame synchronization pulses to all other cards over
a dedicated timing network on the Traverse backplane. The clock supports free-run,
locked, and holdover modes of operation.
Redundant GCM’s provide 1:1 equipment protection for the timing system.
The Traverse system can distribute timing from any OC or STM interface to the timing
output ports on the rear of the shelf. The timing output ports can be set to DS1 SF, ESF,
E1 Unframed, Basic Frame, Multi-Frame, or 2.048 MHz.
The Traverse system supports synchronization-status messages (SSM) to provide
automatic re-configuration of line-timed rings, improve reliability of interoffice timing
distribution, avoid the creation of timing loops, and troubleshoot
synchronization-related problems.
For more information on the Timing interface specifications, see the Traverse Cabling
and Cabling Specifications Guide, Chapter 7—“Timing Interface Specifications.”
Alarm Interface
Each GCM has a system alarm interface, allowing it to send visual and audible system
alarms to system alarm wire-wrapped pins on the back of the Traverse shelf. The alarm
outputs are bridged between the GCM slots to provide redundancy for each alarm
indication. It can relay critical, major, and minor visual alarms to the PDAP-2S or

PDAP-4S, visual and audible alarms to third-party fuse and alarm panels, or the
gateway Traverse node.
The GCM can also send and receive additional programmable environmental alarms.
An Environmental Alarm Module (EAM), located on the back of the shelf, provides
additional environmental alarm input and output
3
capability. The Enhanced GCM,
along with the EAM, supports 16 configurable environmental alarm inputs and 8
environmental alarm outputs.
An Alarm Cut-Off (ACO) button is located on the front of the GCM to silence the
alarm buzzer and to reset timers for system maintenance alerts. When the ACO button
is pressed, its LED is turned to amber; the alarm relay is opened (disabled), but the
alarm condition still exists, and the alarm LED is maintained. A following alarm will
switch off both the ACO button and its LED, close (enable) the appropriate alarm relay ,
and switch on the matching LED.
For more information on the alarm interface specifications, see the Traverse Cabling
and Cabling Specifications Guide, Chapter 6—“Alarm Interface Specifications.”

Description
Force10 Networks offers several versions of its single-slot next-generation Ethernet
(NGE) service interface cards with optical and electrical Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and
electrical Fast Ethernet (FE) ports.
This chapter includes the following topics:
•NGE / NGE Plus Card Description
•NGE/NGE Plus Card Types
•NGE / NGE Plus Card Specifications
•NGE Gigabit Ethernet Ports
•GbE CWDM Wavelengths
•NGE Fast Ethernet Ports
For optical interface cabling specifications, see the Traverse Cabling and Cabling
Specifications Guide, Chapter 1—“Fiber Optic Interface Cabling Specifications.”
For electrical interface cabling specifications, see the Traverse Cabling and Cabling
For a summary of all optical (Ethernet and SONET/SDH) interface specifications, see
the Operations and Maintenance Guide, Chapter 19—“Traverse Transmit and Receive
Signal Levels,” Traverse Optical Interface Specifications.
NGE cards (NGE and NGE Plus) are feature-rich, full function IEEE
802.3/802.1D/802.1Q Ethernet switch cards. These cards allow the Traverse system to
support Ethernet access, aggregation, and transport services over SDH and SONET
networks, as well as offer end-user Ethernet services, such as Ethernet virtual private
line, Ethernet private line, aggregation bridge (point-to-multipoint / E-Tree), and
Ethernet bridge (E-LAN). Additionally, these Ethernet cards offer advanced traffic
management, Ethernet switching, and high and low order virtual concatenation
(HO/LO VCAT), 1:1 Ethernet electrical equipment protection on both the electrical and
optical interfaces, and Carrier Ethernet Protection Pair (CEPP) when using the NGE
Plus cards.
The NGE and NGE Plus cards have been certified as Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF)
compliant for all services (E-Line/E-LAN) to the MEF 9 technical specification.
Traverse Hardware Guide, Release TR4.0.x1
Page 40
Virtual Concatenation
NGE cards support HO/LO VCAT and provide up to a maximum of 64 Ethernet over
SDH or SONET (EOS) trunks. It allows optical bandwidth to be tuned to the smallest
increments in SONET and SDH with the ability to provide bandwidth on demand,
enabling maximum bandwidth efficiency. Using VCAT, NGE cards map Ethernet
frames directly into a payload of N-separate non-contiguous transport paths, rather than
using the fixed contiguous concatenated transport channels.
Carrier Ethernet Protection
A CEPP is a logical pairing of two NGE Plus cards operating as one Ethernet switch to
aggregate the traffic from twice the number of physical ports (40 physical Ethernet
ports) as that of a single card. While a CEPP can use all of the physical Ethernet ports of
two cards, it uses the 64 EOS ports only of the working card for transport. CEPPs
support Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) with ports on both cards in the CEPP. See
Link Aggregation with CEPP.
NGE Plus cards in a CEPP protection group cannot simultaneously be in a 1:1
equipment protection group; these protection groups are mutually exclusive. NGE Plus
cards not in a CEPP function as an NGE card.
Force10 recommends adjacent card configuration, although the cards can be
non-adjacent. T o create CEPP protection groups, see the T ransNav Management System
Provisioning Guide, Chapter 15—“Overview of Protection Groups.”
Link Aggregation with CEPP
CEPP supports Link Aggregation based on the IEEE 802.3ad standard. A Link
Aggregation Group (LAG) with CEPP can contain up to eight port members of the same
type (FE or GbE) from two separate NGE Plus cards. Service providers create a LAG on
the working card of the CEPP and include member ports from either of the cards in the
CEPP.
Virtual Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (V-R STP)
On the Traverse system, up to 20 virtual copies of RSTP (V-RSTP) can be run on the
same Ethernet card. For more information on V-RSTP, see the TransNav Management
System Provisioning Guide, Chapter 48—“Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol,” Virtual RSTP.

management (per Ethernet UNI/NNI, per EVC and per CoS bandwidth profiles). GbE
physical connections are either short-range (SX) optics interface, long-range (LX)
optics interface with CWDM options, or twisted-pair electrical (TX) interface.
GbE TX ports have auto-negotiation enabled and support automatic MDI (Medium
Dependent Interface) and MDI crossover (MDIX) determination. They can be
connected to either a straight-through cable or a cross-over cable. Auto-MDIX will
automatically detect and correct wiring problems such as MDIX, swapped pairs, and
reverse polarity so the user does not need to worry about having the correct Category 5
Ethernet cable type.

Gigabit Ethernet-only Cards (Dual-slot)
Introduction
Force10 Networks offers a variety of dual-slot Gigabit Ethernet-only (GbE) service
interface cards to support higher bandwidth and port density Ethernet applications and
services: bandwidth-intensive Ethernet Private Lines (EPL), Multipoint Layer 2 V irtual
Private Networks (VPNs), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), and other IP-centric
video applications.
Dual-slot GbE cards with GbE ports are based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet transmission
standards and operate in full line rate. These cards integrate a full IEEE 802.1D Layer 2
switch and Ethernet over SONET/SDH (EOS) mapper. They can aggregate and
transport Ethernet frames in a SONET/SDH contiguous concatenation (CCAT) or
virtual concatenation (VCAT) payload. The GbE-based cards operate in full-duplex
mode and perform Layer 2 classification, Ethernet MAC and VLAN aggregation and
switching, and per-port (per UNI/NNI) and per-flow traffic management (per Ethernet
UNI/NNI, per Ethernet virtual circuit (EVC) and per class of service (CoS) bandwidth
profiles).
The 1-port 10GbE card provides an integral 802.3ae-compliant XFP (10 Gigabit Small
Form Factor Pluggable) interface that can be ordered with LR, ER, or ZR optics. The
10-port GbE (GbE-10) card provides up to ten 802.3z-compliant optical or electrical
GbE ports of customer-installable Small Form Factor Pluggable optics (SFPs) using an
SFP connector card (SCM). The SFPs can be in any mix of pluggable SFP-based
1000Base-SX, -LX, or -ZX optical or 1000Base-TX electrical interfaces.

1-Port 10GbE
Card
The 1-port 10GbE (10GbE) card supports high capacity Ethernet switching and provides
a comprehensive set of features to enable the Traverse platform to support evolution to
an end-to-end Carrier Ethernet transport Ethernet infrastructure. The 10GbE is ideal for
10GbE Metropolitan/Wide Area Network (MAN/WAN) core and inter-carrier handoff
applications.
Each card integrates 20 Gbps of non-blocking Layer 2 (L2)s Ethernet switching into the
Traverse shelf. Advanced IEEE 802.ad Provider Bridging capabilities include support
for 802.1Q Customer Virtual Local Area Networks (C-VLANs) and Service VLANs
(S-VLANs) (Q-in-Q) with granular traffic policing and shaping to support differentiated
service classes and guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs).
The 10GbE card supports the Metro Ethernet Forum’s (MEF’s) Ethernet Private Line
(EPL), Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL), E-LAN (Ethernet multipoint-tomultipoint), and E-Tree (point-to-multipoint) service definitions. Additionally, these
Ethernet cards offer advanced traffic management, Ethernet switching (including
VLAN, High Order Virtual Concatenation (HO VCAT) and Link Capacity Adjustment
Scheme (LCAS), and 1:1 Ethernet optical equipment protection.
Use the dual-slot, hot-swappable 10GbE card in any combination of the available
interface slots of the Traverse 2000 or Traverse 1600 shelves. Physical access to the
optical interface is through an MPX connector with singlemode fiber on the back of the
shelf.
Virtual Concatenation
The 1-port 10GbE card supports HO VCAT and provides up to a maximum of 128
Ethernet over SDH or SONET (EOS) network to network interfaces (NNIs) (i.e.,
trunks). It allows optical bandwidth to be tuned to the smallest increments in SONET
and SDH with the ability to provide bandwidth on demand, enabling maximum
bandwidth efficiency. Using VCAT, 10GbE cards map Ethernet frames directly into a
payload of N-separate non-contiguous transport paths (where N=192), rather than using
the fixed contiguous concatenated transport channels.
Virtual Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (V-R STP)
On the Traverse system, up to 20 virtual copies of RSTP (V-RSTP) can be run on the
same Ethernet card. Each copy, called a Virtual RSTP Bridge (VRB), uses an exclusive
set of EOS ports that terminate on the card. For more information, see the TransNav
Management System Provisioning Guide, Chapter 48—“Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol,” Virtual RSTP.

Ethernet Over PDH Cards
Introduction
Force10 Networks offers several versions of its single-slot Ethernet over PDH
(Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy) service interface cards with optical and electrical
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and electrical Fast Ethernet (FE) ports.
The EoPDH Service Interface Modules (SIMs) for the Traverse® multiservice
switching and transport platform position Force10 with the industry’s leading solution
for multiservice transport with Ethernet service delivery over fiber and copper PDH
access networks. The Traverse platform supports any combination of Ethernet,
SONET/SDH, or TDM circuit grooming, switching and transport in a single shelf. This
versatility enables network operators to leverage their existing infrastructure as they
transition to a multiservice, Carrier Ethernet network at their desired pace.
This chapter includes the following topics:
•EoPDH Card
•Gigabit Ethernet Ports on EoPDH Cards
•EoPDH Fast Ethernet Ports

EoPDH Card
EoPDH cards, equivalent to the NGE Plus cards in most ways and more, are
feature-rich, full function IEEE 802.3/802.1D/802.1Q Ethernet switch cards. These
cards allow the Traverse system to support Ethernet access, aggregation, and transport
services over SDH and SONET networks, as well as offer end-user Ethernet services
such as Ethernet virtual private line, Ethernet private line, aggregation bridge
(point-to-multipoint / E-Tree), and Ethernet bridge (E-LAN). Additionally, these
Ethernet cards offer advanced traffic management, Ethernet switching, and high and
low order virtual concatenation (HO/LO VCAT), 1:1 Ethernet electrical equipment
protection on both the electrical and optical interfaces, and Carrier Ethernet Protection
Pair (CEPP).
This card supports all of the same applications as the NGE Plus card -- Ethernet
services involving GbE, FE, and EOS ports with optional CEPP protection. In addition,
this card supports Ethernet access using EoPDH technology in which an Ethernet
signal is carried in GFP-encapsulated frames over a virtually concatenated group of
DS1 / E1 / DS3 / E3 circuits. Ethernet over PDH is similar to Ethernet over SONET /
SDH, just with a different physical layer transport.
The EoPDH cards also are ITU conformant to carry GFP-encapsulated Ethernet frames
over EoPDH trunks consisting of virtually concatenated PDH circuits.
EoPDH cards bring Ethernet frames to a Traverse node for switching and forwarding
on a transport network. EoPDH is an access technology; the transport technology is
Ethernet over SONET/SDH.

Ethernet Ports
on EoPDH
Cards
EoPDH cards with GbE ports are based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet transmission standards
and operate in full line rate. These cards integrate a full IEEE 802.1D Layer 2 switch
and Ethernet over SONET/SDH (EOS) mapper. They can aggregate and transport
Ethernet frames in a SONET/SDH contiguous concatenation (CCAT) or virtual
concatenation (VCAT) payload. The GbE-based cards operate in full-duplex mode and
perform Layer 2 classification, Ethernet MAC and VLAN aggregation and switching,
and per-port (per UNI/NNI) and per-flow traffic management (per Ethernet UNI/NNI,
per EVC and per CoS bandwidth profiles). GbE physical connections are either
short-range (SX) optics interface, long-range (LX) optics interface with CWDM
options, or twisted-pair electrical (TX) interface.
GbE TX ports have auto-negotiation enabled and support automatic MDI (Medium
Dependent Interface) and MDI crossover (MDIX) determination. They can be
connected to either a straight-through cable or a cross-over cable. Auto-MDIX will
automatically detect and correct wiring problems such as MDIX, swapped pairs, and
reverse polarity so the user does not need to worry about having the correct Category 5
Ethernet cable type.

8-Port OC-48
Card
The 8-port OC-48 card is a dual-slot high performance card designed for explicit use
with the DCS-768 matrix shelf of the new multi-shelf DCS configuration in a
SONET-only environment.
Use the dual-slot, hot-swappable OC-48 card in any available optical interface slot of
the new Traverse 2000 shelf in a DCS-768 matrix configuration. Physical acc ess to the
optical interface is on the back of the shelf. Configure each card to process SDH or
SONET modes through the user interface.
GCM with Integrated OC-48 and VT Switching
In addition to the single-slot OC-48 card, the Traverse system supports optic and VT
switching integrated general control cards (GCMs). The GCM with integrated optics
and VT switching provides overall control and management functions for the Traverse
platform, as well as incorporating a single optic interface for optical trunk connectivity.
For GCM information, see Chapter 6—“General Control Module (GCM) Cards.”
Card Type
The Traverse supports the following card:
Table17 OC-48 Card Type
Model NumberCard Description
TRA-8P-OC48-SFP8-port OC-48 SFP
Important: This card must be ordered with an industrial temperature
10-port SFP connector module (SCM). See Table 18 8-port OC-48 Card
SFP Types.
8-port OC-48 Card SFP Types
The Traverse supports these SFP types on the 8-port OC-48 card. These SFPs have a
temperature range of -40 degrees C to 85 degrees C:
The single-port, dual-slot OC-192/STM-64 (FEC programmable) card integrates the
capabilities of a high-performance SONET/SDH ADM and a non-blocking cross
connect in a single card. Supported on the Traverse 2000 and Traverse 1600 platforms,
this high-performance card provides a single OC-192/STM-64 port that can be used as
a 10 Gbps trunk interface, as well as for the aggregation and grooming of SONET/SDH
services.
Physical access to the optical interface is through an MPX connector on the back of the
shelf. Configure each card to process SDH or SONET modes through the user
interface.

Electrical Cards
Introduction
The information in this chapter describes and gives the specifications for the following
electrical service interface modules (SIMs or cards):
The 28-port DS1 card delivers high-density wideband access to the Traverse platform.
The DS1 card maps ingress DS1 line signals into VT-1.5 or DS3 structured STSs,
which are switched/cross-connected to an egress card. Use an optional VT/TU 5G
Switch card or VTX/VCX integrated card to use transport bandwidth efficiently.
Use the single-slot, hot-swappable DS1 card in any of the available electrical interface
slots of the Traverse 2000, Traverse 1600, or Traverse 600 shelves. Physical interfaces
are 64-pin Telco connectors on the back of the shelf.

12-Port
DS3/EC-1
Transmux Card
The 12-port DS3/EC-1 Transmux card provides DS3 transmultiplexing (transmux)
functions for channelized DS3 access to the Traverse platform. An ideal solution for
bridging legacy TDM networks with an expanding fiber infrastructure, the Transmux
card converts T1s to VT1.5s, allowing them to be transported across an optical link,
creating greater bandwidth efficiencies.
Use this card with the VT/TU 5G Switch card to switch individual channels (subports).
These channels can contain either DS1 or E1 signals.
Additionally, use this card to support the optical transmux feature which transforms
incoming channelized DS3 signals to VC- or VT-mapped payloads on one node. This
card supports either 12 electrical and 12 optical transmux ports or 24 optical transmux
ports, where the optical ports are set to STS1-TMX mode. Use this feature together
with the VTX/VCX component or the VT/TU 5G Switch card to switch these payloads
on the same node.
Use the single-slot, 12-port Transmux card in any electrical interface slot of the
Traverse 2000, Traverse 1600, or Traverse 600 shelves. In addition to the transmux
(DS3-TMX) and optical transmux (STS1-TMX) functionality, any port can be
independently configured for DS3 clear channel or EC-1 through the user interface.

The 48-port Universal DS3/EC-1 Transmux (UTMX-48) card provides increased port
capacity to the DS3 transmultiplexing (transmux) functions for channelized DS3 access
to the Traverse platform. The 48-port Universal Transmux card supports 24 physical
interfaces (ports 1 through 24) and 24 logical interfaces (ports25 through 48). Each
physical interface can be individually configured to operate in EC1, DS3-CC,
DS3-TMX, and STS1-TMX modes. Each logical interface can operate only in
STS1-TMX mode.
Note: Only the first 24 ports appear on the physical module. Ports 25 through 48
appear only in Shelf View on the GUI.

21-Port E1
Card
The 21-port E1 card delivers high-density wideband access to the Traverse platform.
The E1 card maps ingress E1 line signals into VC12 or DS3 structured STM, which are
switched/cross-connected to an egress card. Use an optional VT/TU 5G Switch card or
VTX/VCX integrated card to use transport bandwidth efficiently.
Use the single-slot, hot-swappable E1 card in any of the available electrical interface
slots of the Traverse 2000, Traverse 1600, or Traverse 600 shelves. Physical interfaces
are 64-pin Telco connectors on the back of the shelf.
