Figure 2-15 shows the FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminal in a 0%
add/drop application. In the 0% add/drop application, an FT-2000 OC-48
Add/Drop-Rings Terminal is not equipped with low speed interface circuit packs
and acts as a repeater. Only 1-way and two-way through cross-connections are
used at the 0% add/drop node.
Low-speed interface circuit packs may be added to the 0% add/drop node if
add/drop traffic is required in the future. The FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings
Terminal also allows access to the OC-48 DCC to perform operations,
administration, maintenance, and provisioning at remote FT-2000 OC-48
Add/Drop-Rings Terminals in the ring. The FT-2000 OC-48 Repeater Bay does
not allow access to the OC-48 DCC.
