2-Way Cross-Connections 8
The FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminal provides a time slot assignment
(TSA) capability that supports the following 2-way cross-connections:
■ Add/drop cross-connections: Add/drop cross-connections are made
between any service low-speed interface slot and any 155 Mb/s (STS-3)
tributary of OC-48 high-speed line 1E or 1W. For example, Figure 8-6
shows service low-speed interface slot 2B cross-connected to service
STS-3 tributary 6 of OC-48 high-speed line 1W. (In 2-fiber bidirectional
rings, STS-3 tributaries 1 through 8 are service tributaries and STS-3
tributaries 9 through 16 are protection tributaries.)
