New in this release The following sections detail what’s new in Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series Installation — SFPs and XFPs (NN47205-301) for Release 5.1. • "Features" (page 5) • "Other changes" (page 5) Features See the following section for information about feature changes: New SFPs Release 5.1 supports two new SFPs.
Procedure job aid: SFP models with DDI support Any Digital Diagnostic Indicating (DDI) SFP can be used in any Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series module that supports SFPs. The optical functions of the SFP are supported. Access to the DDI information will be provided in a future release.
22 Small form factor pluggable transceivers The following table lists and describes the supported Nortel SFP models with DDI capability. All the optical SFPs use LC connectors. SFP models with DDI capability Model number and connector 1000BASE-T (RJ-45) 1000BASE-BX 1000BASE-LX For specifications, see...
Factor Pluggable (XFP) transceivers, and lists some technical specifications for the supported XFP models. Nortel recommends that you only use Nortel qualified XFPs. If you do choose to use other vendor XFPs, be aware that Nortel does not support the use of other XFPs. Navigation •...
Procedure job aid: XFP models XFPs are hot-swappable input/output enhancement components designed for use with Nortel products to allow 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with other 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) allows real-time access to device operating parameters. All XFPs come with DDM capability.
The T1 SFP provides full-duplex Fast Ethernet to T1 connectivity. The part number for this model is AA1419075-E6. This device can be used with the Ethernet Routing Switch 4526FX, 4526T, 4526T-PWR, 4550T, 4550T-PWR, and 4524GT. The following table describes the T1 SFP specifications.
Do this to convert a straight-through cable to a crossover cable. T1 SFP—default settings The Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series switches configure the following T1 SFP parameters after the system powered up: • Transmit Line Build Out (TLBO): set according to cable length.
T1 Tx disabled behavior T1 Transmit AIS The T1 SFP module must be configured to match the parameters of the T1 equipment at the far end. If you must change the parameters, contact Nortel Technical Support. 1000BASE-SX (LC) SFP specifications The 1000BASE-SX SFP provides 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet connectivity at 850 nm using multimode optical fiber.
For more details, see these standards documents. All Nortel XFPs meet or exceed these standards. Nortel recommends that you only use Nortel-qualified XFPs. If you do choose to use other vendor XFPs, be aware that Nortel does not support the use of other XFPs. Navigation •...
46 XFP specifications The stressed sensitivity values are for system level BER measurements, which include the effects of CDR circuits. Nortel recommends that you allocate at least 0.4 dB additional margin if you make component level measurements without the effect of CDR circuits.
