8.12.1    Key Features
8.12.1 Key Features
The ADM-10G card has the following high-level features:
 • Two-slot width
 • Operates with the TCC2 or TCC2P
 • Has built-in OC-192/STM-64 ADM function including client, trunk, and STS cross-connect
 • Provides dual-card redundancy in path protection and 1+1 client protection schemes
 • Allows creation of ADM peer groups 
 • Supports SONET, SDH, and Gigabit Ethernet protocols on client SFPs 
 • Supports XFP DWDM trunk interface single wavelengths
 • Supports only double-card configuration.
 • Returns zero bit errors when a TCC2 or TCC2P card switches from active to standby or when manual 
or forced protection switches occur
 • 16 SFP-based client interfaces (gray, colored, and CWDM optics available)
 • Client support for STM1/STM4/STM16/GE client signals (8 Gigabit Ethernet maximum)
 • 1 XFP-based trunk interface supporting E-FEC/FEC and ITU-T G.709
 • 2 SR XFP Interlink interfaces supporting redundancy connection with protection board and 
pass-through traffic
 • Frame-mapped generic framing procedure (GFP-F) mapping for Ethernet over SONET or SDH
 • Can be installed or pulled from operation, in any slot, without impacting other service cards in the 
shelf
8.12.2 GFP Interoperability
The ADM-10G card defaults to GFP-F encapsulation that is compliant with ITU-T G.7041. This mode 
allows the card to operate with ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15310-MA, or ONS 15454 data cards (for 
example, ONS 15454 CE100T-8 or ML1000-2 cards). GFP encapsulation also allows the ADM-10G 
card to interoperate with other vendors’ Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that adhere to the ITU-T G.7041 
standard.
