MX240 Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) LEDs
Two LEDs, located on the craft interface above the FPC, that display the status of the
FPC and are labeled OK and FAIL. For more information about the FPC LEDs located on
the craft interface, see “FPC LEDs on the MX240 Craft Interface” on page 15.

FPCs Supported by MX240, MX480, and MX960 Routers
An FPC occupies two slots when installed in an MX240, MX480, or MX960 router. The
maximum number of supported FPCs varies per router:
•
MX960 router—6 FPCs
•
MX480 router—3 FPCs
•
MX240 router—1 FPC

MX240 PIC Description
PICs provide the physical connection to various network media types, receiving incoming
packets from the network and transmitting outgoing packets to the network. During this
process, each PIC performs framing and line-speed signaling for its media type. Before
transmitting outgoing data packets, the PICs encapsulate the packets received from the
