4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA Overview
4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA Overview
The 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA is a single-height SPA that installs into one SIP subslot. The
OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver modules provides
SONET and SDH network connectivity with a per-port bandwidth of 155.52 Mbps. The 4-Port
OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA operates at quarter rate.
Note When SFP modules are replaced, the SPA interface retains any previously defined configurations. These
configurations include settings for IP address, clock source, loopback, Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC), and POS flags.
For more information about SPA bandwidth, see the “Bandwidth Oversubscription” section in this
chapter. For more information about SPAs and their compatibility with SIPs and modular optics, see the
“SIP and SPA Product Overview” chapter in this guide.
