Traverse 1600 The Traverse system’s fully-meshed passive backplane provides full interconnection Rear View for cards and external interfaces such as power, timing, alarm, management, and the fan tray card. All power and interface connections are terminated from the rear of the Traverse shelf, except for the serial interface and the Ethernet port (for local craft access), which are on the front faceplate of the control card.
Page 14
Timing Interface The backplane provides primary and secondary T1/E1 and CC2M (Composite Clock—64 kHz and 2 MHz) input and output timing interfaces, and primary and secondary BITS input timing interfaces. These timing interfaces are routed to both control cards, which distribute system timing references to all cards. System and Environmental Alarms Interface Support is provided for the full set of system alarm outputs, sixteen environmental alarm inputs, a fail-safe alarm, and a remote alarm cut-off.

Chapter 12 VT/VC Switching Cards Introduction The Traverse system cross connects at the VT-1.5, VT-2, VC-3, VC-11, and VC-12 levels using one of these cards: • VT/TU 5G Switch Card • VT-HD 40G Switch Card • VTX/VCX Integrated Cards Switching at this level requires less multiplexing and demultiplexing between VC or STS terminations.

VT/TU 5G The VT/TU 5G Switch card integrates wideband switching and grooming functions Switch Card into the Traverse platform. This card has a termination capacity of 5 Gbps for up to either 32 STS-3c/AU-4 or 96 STS-1/AU-3 equivalents. This single-slot card operates with mated cards in a 1:N equipment protection group. Use this card to cross connect VT/VCs from these protection groups: 1+1 APS, UPSR, BLSR, 1+1 path protection, 1+1 MSP, SNCP, and MS-SPRings.

VTX/VCX Force10 offers GCM cards with an integrated virtual tributary/container (VT/VC) Integrated cross-connect (VTX/VCX) component, known simply as VCX. The VCX component Cards has a termination capacity of 2.5 Gbps for up to either 16 STS-3c/AU-4 or 48 STS-1/AU-3 equivalents. This component operates with a mated VCX in a 1:1 equipment protection group.
