22F/22F-U/22F2-U OLIU Circuit Pack Description 7
Purpose of Circuit 7
The 22F/22F-U/22F2-U OLIU circuit pack performs the optical/electrical
conversion between the OC-3 and STS-3 signals, multiplexing between STS-3
and three STS-1 signals and SONET transport overhead access. This circuit pack
also provides routing of the STS-1s and VT1.5s between the OC-3 interface and
other main and function unit slots in the shelf and DS1/DS3 add/drop and ring
capability. When used to perform DS1/DS3 add/drop or VT1.5 routing, STS-1 path
overhead access is also provided.
The 22F-U provides a universal optical connector capable of interfacing with
STS-1. The 22F2-U provides additional VT1.5/STS-1 path signal monitoring to
support VT1.5/STS-1 path protection switching. All three circuit packs have the
same optical interface specifications.
