• Supports both unprotected and 1+1 EPS protected configurations
DESCRIPTION
The P8ETH module provides four 10/100/1000 electrical Ethernet interfaces
and four GigE optical Ethernet SFP interfaces. The MSS-8 shelf supports one
protected pair of P8ETH modules or one unprotected P8ETH module.
The P8ETH is supported in MSS-8 slot 3 for unprotected radio configurations.
In protected radio configurations, a pair of P8ETHs are required. The main
P8ETH is equipped in slot 3 and the protect (spare) P8ETH is equipped in slot
4 directly across from the main. The protect (spare) P8ETH module protects the
radio if the main P8ETH fails.
