3.11.2 Ported Mode

The DS3XM-12 supports three different backplane throughput configurations:
•
•
•
The backplane throughput configuration is selected in CTC card view using the Maintenance > Card tab.
3.11.2 Ported Mode
The "ported" mode supports up to 12 framed DS-3 bidirectional mapped signals to each DS3XM-12
card, where the traffic is demultiplexed and mapped into a VT1.5 payload. This payload is then mapped
and multiplexed up to a bidirectional STS-1.

3.11.3 Portless Mode

The "portless" mode allows for IXC hand off connections through a standard SONET fiber optical
interface with DS-3-mapped STS-1s as a payload. This physical connection is accomplished with any of
the OC-N cards. The system cross-connect grooms the DS-3 mapped STS1 traffic to the appropriate
DS3XM-12 card, where the traffic is demultiplexed and mapped into a VT1.5 payload. This payload is
then mapped and multiplexed up to a higher rate STS-1. See the
page 11-15

3.11.4 Shelf Configurations

The DS3XM-12 card supports the XCVT, XC10G, and XC-VXC-10G cards. The DS3XM-12 card is
supported in any of the multiservice slots (Slots 1 through 6 and 12 through 17).
The DS3XM-12 card operates at the VT1.5 level and supports a maximum of 6 or 12 ports of "portless"
(DS-3-mapped STS1s) interface, depending on the shelf configuration (see
Table 3-14

Do not install low-density DS-1 cards in the same side of the shelf as DS3XM-12 cards.

STS-48 when an XC10G or XC-VXC-10G card is used. This configuration supports the OC-48 rate
in any slot.
STS-48 for the Slots 5, 6, 12, and 13 when an XCVT card is used.
STS-12 for Slot 1 through 4, and 7 through 12 slots when an XCVT card is used. This configuration
is bandwidth-limiting in the portless mode of operation.
