3.6 DS3-12E and DS3N-12E Cards
The ONS 15454 DS3-12E card provides 12 Telcordia-compliant ports per card. Each port operates at
44.736 Mbps over a single 75 ohm 728A or equivalent coaxial span. The DS3-12E card provides
enhanced performance monitoring functions. The DS3-12E can detect several different errored logic bits
within a DS3 frame. This function allows the ONS 15454 to identify a degrading DS3 facility caused by
upstream electronics (DS3 Framer). In addition, DS3 frame format auto detection and J1 path trace are
supported. By monitoring additional overhead in the DS3 frame, subtle network degradations can be
detected.

The DS3-12E supports a 1:1 protection scheme, meaning it can operate as the protect card for one other
DS3-12E card.
3.6.1 DS3N-12E Features and Functions
The DS3N-12E can operate as the protect card in a 1:N (N<5) DS3 protection group. It has additional
circuitry not present on the basic DS3-12E card that allows it to protect up to five working DS3-12E
cards. The basic DS3-12E card can only function as the protect card for one other DS3-12E card.
