8.12 ADM-10G Card
The ADM-10G card operates on ONS 15454 SONET, ONS 15454 SDH, and DWDM networks to carry 
optical signals and Gigabit Ethernet signals over DWDM wavelengths for transport. The card aggregates 
lower bit-rate client SONET or SDH signals (OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16, or Gigabit 
Ethernet) onto a C-band tunable DWDM trunk operating at a higher OC-192/STM-64 rate. In a DWDM 
network, the ADM-10G card transports traffic over DWDM by mapping Gigabit Ethernet and SONET 
or SDH circuits onto the same wavelength with multiple protection options.
The ADM-10G card is a double-slot card that can be installed in Slots 1 through 5 or 12 through 16 in 
standard and high-density SONET shelves (15454-SA-ANSI or 15454-SA-HD), the ETSI ONS 15454 
standard shelf assembly, or the ETSI ONS 15454 high-density shelf assembly. Installation is supported 
in any of these slots.
Note The recommended slots are 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and 12-13, 14-15, 16-17.
Caution Fan-tray assembly 15454E-CC-FTA (ETSI shelf)/15454-CC-FTA (ANSI shelf) must be installed in a 
shelf where the ADM-10G card is installed.
The card is compliant with ITU-T G.825 and ITU-T G.783 for SDH signals. It supports concatenated 
and nonconcatenated AU-4 mapped STM-1, STM-4, and STM-16 signals as specified in ITU-T G.707. 
The card also complies with Section 5.6 of Telcordia GR-253-CORE and supports synchronous 
transport signal (STS) mapped OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48 signals as specified in the standard.
The client SFP and trunk XFP are compliant with interface requirements in Telcordia GR-253-CORE, 
ITU-T G.957 and/or ITU-T G.959.1, and IEEE 802.3.

Port-Level LED Description
Port LEDs
Green/Red/Amber/Off
Green—The client port is either in service and receiving a recognized signal 
(that is, no signal fail), or Out of Service and Maintenance (OOS,MT or 
locked, maintenance) and the signal fail and alarms are being ignored.
Red—The client port is in service but is receiving a signal fail (LOS).
Amber—The port is provisioned and in a standby state.
Off—The SFP is either not provisioned, out of service, not properly inserted, 
or the SFP hardware has failed.
Green DWDM LED The green DWDM LED indicates that the DWDM port is in service and 
receiving a recognized signal.
