8683POSM module with an OC-12c/STM-4 MDA
The POSM modules require at least one of the following MDAs:
•
1-port OC-12c/STM-4: SMF or MMF using SONET media
•
2-port OC-3c/STM-1: SMF or MMF using SONET media
The 8683POSM module supports a mixture of OC-3c/STM-1 and
OC-12c/STM-4 lines. For example, you can install an OC-12c/STM-4
MDA in the first bay and OC-3c/STM-1 MDAs in the two remaining bays.
This module supports up to six I/O OC-3c/STM-1 lines and up to three I/O
OC-12c/STM-4 lines.
For more information about the MDAs for the 8683POSM module, see
