H.3.1.1 Glossary of Terms
Primary Port
This is the port that can transmit the traffic those ingresses from any port within its group.
Examples:
•
NP Interface Port P1 can transmit the traffic coming from Data WAN Port 'A' or NP
Interface Port P2.
•
NP Interface Port P3 can transmit the traffic coming from Management WAN port 'B' or
NP Interface Port P4.
•
The Base Modem J5 Ethernet port can transmit the traffic coming from VS WAN port 'C.'
Expansion Port
This is the port that can transmit the traffic that ingress from its primary port within that group.
Examples:
•
NP Interface Port P2 can transmit the traffic coming from NP Interface Port P1 only.
•
NP Interface Port P4 can transmit the traffic coming from NP Interface Port P3 only.
WAN Port
This is a logical port that transmits the packet only to the primary ports, but it can receive the
packets from either the primary port or the expansion port.
Examples:
•
Data WAN port 'A' Bridge-Group1.
•
Management WAN port 'B' in Bridge-Group2.
•
VS WAN port 'C' in Router-Group.
