8.7.4 MXP_2.5G_10E Card
8.7.3.1 MXP_2.5G_10G Port-Level Indicators
Table 8-14 describes the four port-level LEDs on the MXP_2.5G_10G card.
8.7.4 MXP_2.5G_10E Card
The faceplate designation of the card is “4x2.5G 10E MXP.” The MXP_2.5G_10E card is a DWDM
muxponder for the ONS 15454 platform that supports full transparent termination the client side. The
card multiplexes four 2.5 Gbps client signals (4 x OC48/STM-16 SFP) into a single 10-Gbps DWDM
optical signal on the trunk side. The MXP_2.5G_10E provides wavelength transmission service for the
four incoming 2.5 Gbps client interfaces. The MXP_2.5G_10E muxponder passes all SONET/SDH
overhead bytes transparently.
The digital wrapper function (ITU-T G.709 compliant) formats the DWDM wavelength so that it can be
used to set up generic communications channels (GCCs) for data communications, enable FEC, or
facilitate performance monitoring.
Table 8-13 MXP_2.5G_10G Card-Level Indicators
Card-Level LED Description
Red FAIL LED The red FAIL LED indicates that the card’s processor is not ready. This LED
is on during reset. The FAIL LED flashes during the boot process. Replace
the card if the red FAIL LED persists.
ACT/STBY LED
Green (Active)
Amber (Standby)
If the ACT/STBY LED is green, the card is operational (one or more ports
active) and ready to carry traffic. If the ACT/STBY LED is amber, the card
is operational and in standby (protect) mode.
Amber SF LED The amber SF LED indicates a signal failure or condition such as LOS, LOF,
or high BERs on one or more of the card’s ports. The amber SF LED is also
on if the transmit and receive fibers are incorrectly connected. If the fibers
are properly connected and the link is working, the light turns off.
Table 8-14 MXP_2.5G_10G Port-Level Indicators
Port-Level LED Description
Green Client LED
(four LEDs)
The green Client LED indicates that the client port is in service and that it is
receiving a recognized signal. The card has four client ports, and so has four
Client LEDs.
Green DWDM LED The green DWDM LED indicates that the DWDM port is in service and that
it is receiving a recognized signal.
Green Wavelength 1
LED
Each port supports two wavelengths on the DWDM side. Each wavelength
LED matches one of the wavelengths. This LED indicates that the card is
configured for Wavelength 1.
Green Wavelength 2
LED
Each port supports two wavelengths on the DWDM side. Each wavelength
LED matches one of the wavelengths. This LED indicates that the card is
configured for Wavelength 2.
