â– Drop cross-connections: Drop cross-connections are made from any
incoming STS-3 tributary of OC-48 high-speed line 1E or 1W to any service
low-speed interface slot. For example, Figure 8-1shows incoming service
STS-3 tributary 5 of OC-48 high-speed line 1W cross-connected to service
low-speed interface slot 4B.
In Release 5 and later releases, drop cross-connections are made to any
service low-speed interface slot and the companion low-speed interface
slot (for example, 2A and 2B) when the slot pair is provisioned for the OC-3
1+1 protected mode. A single input enters an active drop cross-connection
from any incoming STS-3 tributary of OC-48 high-speed line 1E or 1W to
