DS3/STS-1 group and slot associations

DS3 or STS-1 circuit packs are in the lower level of the common equipment
shelf. BNC input and output (I/O) cards are in the upper level. With DS3
mappers or STS-1 interface cards, "g1" refers to a group of modules including
a working circuit pack and its corresponding three BNC I/O cards. Similarly,
"p" refers to the group of modules including the protection circuit pack and the
protection switcher cards.
The DS3 or STS-1 capacity of the system is dependent on the shelf type and
the DS1, DS3, or STS-1 mix as well as the traffic that your system is carrying.
For details about determining the capacity of your configuration, see Optional
Commissioning Procedures, 323-3001-220, in this volume.
