2-Port OC-3 STM-1/OC-12 STM-4 POS SPA Interface Specifications
The framer processes incoming and outgoing SONET or SDH frames. The framer operates at OC-3 line rates
(155.52 Mbps) and OC-12 line rates (622.08 Mbps). Packet data is transported with a user-configured
encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP]) and is mapped into the layer 2 frame.
