FE Ports
There are two models of Alcatel 6000-series Line Card, each with different
port characteristics:
z
The Alcatel 6000-series Line Card (OAW-LC-2G24F) has 24 FE ports
The FE ports provide 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections to APs and wired LAN
segments. No power or serial connectivity is provided by the ports on this line
card.
z
The Alcatel 6000-series SPOE Line Card (OAW-LC-2G24FP) has 24
FE+SPOE ports.
When connected directly to an IEEE 802.3af POE compatible device, the port
will provide power and data connectivity through the same cable. For devices
that support compatible serial wiring or include an appropriate serial breakout
adapter, such as the Alcatel Wireless Access Point, the port will provide serial
connectivity as well as power and data.
