The SmartEdge 400 router is a carrier-class product with an architecture that supports packetized traffic. The SmartEdge 400 router can be used as an edge aggregation router to directly connect customers to the network and supports a variety of interfaces and vital services, such as quality of service (QoS) and inbound and outbound access control lists (ACLs).
• Alarms: audible and visual: critical, major, minor, ACO Note Protection for cards and ports is dependent on the release of the operating system. The SmartEdge 400 router supports a wide variety of interfaces, such as: • Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) OC-3c/STM-1c, OC-12c/STM-4c, and OC-48c/STM-16c •...
AC Power Tray SmartEdge 400 Chassis The SmartEdge 400 chassis has six slots with two slots dedicated to the controller cards and four slots available for a flexible combination of traffic cards. A separate area of the chassis has fans for forced-air cooling.
To maintain the air flow through the chassis, empty slots have blank cards installed. Figure 1-1 shows the SmartEdge 400 chassis. Figure 1-1 SmartEdge 400 Chassis The rear of the chassis has connectors for power (A and B sides), DS-3 and E3 cards installed in slots 3 and 4, alarm outputs and status inputs, and dual external-timing inputs for synchronization.

• Fully redundant configuration — When two controller cards are installed in the SmartEdge 400 chassis, one functions as the active controller and the other card functions as the standby controller, providing full redundancy for high-reliability networking requirements. In the event of a controller card failure, the redundant card automatically becomes the active controller, thereby avoiding any unnecessary service disruption in the network.
System Components Traffic Cards Table 1-4 lists the traffic cards supported on the SmartEdge 400 router; for more information about traffic cards, see Chapter 2, “Traffic Card Descriptions.” In the table, IR, LR, and SR abbreviations are used for Intermediate Reach, Long Reach, and Short Reach, respectively.
A pair of LEDs on the front panel of each installed power supply indicate the status of the AC-input and DC-output power to and from the AC power tray. Each AC power supply connects to the SmartEdge 400 chassis with an AC power tray jumper cable using connectors on the rear of the AC power tray and provides sufficient power for a fully loaded chassis.
C h a p t e r 2 Traffic Card Descriptions ® This chapter describes each of the traffic cards that are currently available for the SmartEdge 400 router. Note In the descriptions that follow, the term, controller card, refers to the Cross-Connect Route Processor (XCRP) or the XCRP Version 3 (XCRP3) Controller card, unless otherwise noted.
