The next graphic shows the PME-216i block diagram.
PME-216i In-Band Management Channel
The PME-216i module provides an optional in-band management channel of up to 100 Mbps in bandwidth.
If the Z-Series shelf is configured with PME-216i line card and the shelf does not have a LAD or
WSS/AWG module or the traffic-carrying PME interfaces are not fiber patched to an installed LAD or
WSS/AWG module, set the 10G ETH/OTN Fiber Port Signal Type parameter (General sub-tab) to “10GE
LAN” (default). If you have a Z22 shelf with a PME line card (the Z22 LAD-2P and LAD-2G do not
provide an OSC), set the 10G ETH/OTN Fiber Port Signal Type parameter to “10GE LAN.” When the PME
10G fiber port is provisioned with a signal type of 10GE LAN or 10GE WAN, the Topology Discovery and
Routing parameters are automatically enabled (default) and the system will use the PME line card in-band
management channel to provide node-to-node communication.
