In Figure 12, the twisted pair and GBIC port on two AT-8413 link cards in two different AT-8400 chassis are connected together. If the GBIC ports are providing the active link, a loss of the link, such as from a defective fiber optic cable, would cause the line cards to automatically reestablish the link to the two chassis using the twisted pair ports.
