After system initialization, the ENABLED LED comes on to indicate that power is received and that the
PA-POS-1OC3 port adapter is enabled for operation.
The following conditions must all be met before the PA-POS-1OC3 is enabled:
•
•
If any of these conditions are not met, or if the initialization fails, the ENABLED LED does not come on.
Cables and Connectors
Use single-mode (for intermediate- or long-reach configurations) or multimode optical fiber cable to
connect your router to a network or to connect two OC-3-equipped routers back-to-back.
Note
The PA-POS-1OC3 provides the following optical fiber options:
•
•
For maximum cable lengths between stations, see
Note
optical fiber cables for the PA-POS-1OC3 are not available from Cisco Systems; however, they are
available from commercial cable vendors.

The PA-POS-1OC3 is correctly connected and receiving power.
The host system software supports the PA-POS-1OC3.
Long-range SFP optics modules (for long-reach configurations) cannot be connected
back-to-back without using an attenuator between the two of them.
Multimode—155 Mbps, OC-3 optical fiber (SONET STS-3c or SDH STM-1)
Use a multimode optical fiber that has a core/cladding diameter of 62.5/125 microns.
Single-mode—155 Mbps, OC-3 optical fiber (SONET STS-3c or SDH STM-1)
Use a single-mode optical fiber that has a core/cladding diameter of 8-9/125 microns. (Nominal
diameter is approximately 10/125 microns.)
