For example, if the fiber port on the CSFP transceiver transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm, than the port on the remote network device must transmit at 1310 nm and receive at 1550 nm.
Chapter 12: Troubleshooting AT-SBx31CFC960 Controller Fabric Card If the chassis has one controller card and it fails, all network operations stop. The Ethernet line cards do not forward network traffic until the controller card is replaced. If the chassis has two controller cards and one fails, the Ethernet line cards continue to forward traffic, but the traffic bandwidth of each line card slot is reduced from 40 to 20Gbps, which may result in slower network operations.
