Slots 1 through 14 slots are for any optical service interface or VT/TU 5G Switch card
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.x 3
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.
4 Traverse Hardware Guide, Release TR4.0.x
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.
For more information on ECMs, see the Traverse Cabling and Cabling Specifications Guide, Chapter 2—“ECM Interface Specifications.”

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.

Chapter 4 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:

and Traverse 1600 Front Inlet Fan 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.

Traverse 600 Fan Assembly

One fan assembly is integrated within each Traverse 600 shelf. The Traverse 600 fan assembly (fan card with integral shelf fan tray) cools the GCM
and service cards in the shelf. The Traverse 600 fan assembly has six fans and can force up to 200 cubic feet per minute of cooling air. The fans draw in cooling air and push the air through the perforated shelf.
The Traverse 600 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).
