LAN interfaces
1643 AM and 1643 AMS support up to four 10/100BASE-T LAN interfaces, as part of
the TransLAN
®
Ethernet SDH Transport Solution, when the X4IP-V2 option card is
used.
1643 AM and 1643 AMS support up to eight Ethernet interfaces in Private Line mode,
when the X8PL option card is used. The X8PL board is a point-to-point Ethernet
solution without any switching capabilities. The Ethernet ports are directly connected
to the virtual concatenation groups (VCGs o flexible SDH Channel TTPs).
Main features of the X4IP-V2 and X8PL options cards
The following table lists the main features and differences of the two option cards
X4IP-V2 and X8PL which can be used for Ethernet applications:
X4IP-V2 X8PL
4 ports 8 ports
provides a Layer 2 switch no switch
supports advanced networking applications
like ring connections or point-to-multi-
point connections
cost optimized option card for
point-to-point applications
no LCAS (Link capacity adjustment
scheme) support
supports the LCAS (Link Capacity
Adjustment Scheme) protocol (please refer
to “Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme
(LCAS)” (p. 8-42))
EoS (Ethernet over SDH) mapping or GFP
(Generic Framing Procedure)
GFP or LAPS (Link Acccess Procedure
SDH) (please refer to “Ethernet mapping
schemes” (p. 8-73))
X5IP Option card
The X5IP option card(item code X5IP) will combine X4IP and X8PL capabilities in
the following aspects, as compared to X4IP and X8PL card:
• GBE ports support
– 10/100/1000 BASE-T GE port(1 E)
– 1000BASE-X GE(1 O)
• 3 10/100 FE ports support
• Full flexible mapping low order VC12/VC3 termination
• LCAS for V12 (VC12-1v to VC12-63v) and VC3(VC3-1v to VC3-3v)
• High number of WAN ports (up to 8)
• LPT supported on all ports
