BITS Interface

The BITS/SSU is a bi-directional interface implemented on the 2-Gigabit Synchronous Ethernet SPA. It
relays a clock to an SSU and in return receives a clock without the wander. This interface also allows the
2-Port Gigabit Synchronous Ethernet SPA to be a system resource for older platforms that are not BITS
capable.

2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA Overview

The 2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA is a single-height SPA that installs into one SIP subslot.
The 2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical
transceiver modules provides SONET and SDH network connectivity with a per-port bandwidth of
155.52 Mbps. The 2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/ST-1 POS SPA operates at quarter rate. The 8-Port
OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA operates at half rate.
When SFP modules are replaced, the SPA interface retains any previously defined configurations. These
Note
configurations include settings for IP address, clock source, loopback, CRC, and POS flags.
For more information about SPAs and their compatibility with SIPs and modular optics, see the

2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA LEDs

The 2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA has three types of LEDs: two LEDs for each port on the
SPA, and one STATUS LED, as shown in
