FLC2 Interfaces
The Fast Ethernet Line Card (FLC2, Ethernet 10/100) has eight RJ-45 interfaces, as shown in the figure below. Each of
these is an auto-sensing 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet interface that terminates a shielded twisted-pair (STP) copper
cable. The interfaces are labeled 1 through 8 from top to bottom.
Important: To comply with GR-1089 intra-building, lightning-immunity requirements and ensure compliance
with FCC Radiated Emissions Criteria, you must use shielded-twisted pair (STP) cable and ensure that it is properly
terminated at both ends. The 10/100Base-TX ports of the FLC2 are suitable for connection to intra-building or
unexposed wiring or cabling only. These intra-building ports MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only
(Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling.
The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP
wiring.
Figure 41. Fast Ethernet Line Card Interface Connectors
The system uses these interfaces to connect to other elements in the packet data network.
Each of these interfaces is equipped with two light emitting diodes (LEDs):
 Link: This green LED shows whether or not the line card is connected to the network. The LED is illuminated
when the card is connected.
 Activity: This green LED shows when data is transmitted or received. The LED is illuminated when data is
passing through the interface.
