RADIUS CDR transmission
Oracle recommends that you use shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables with RJ45
plugs for connecting to the rear-panel Acme Packet 4600 Ethernet interfaces. These
Ethernet interfaces have a distance limitation of 328 feet (100 m), as defined by the
FAST Ethernet standard, IEEE 802.3.
Signaling and Media Interfaces
The signaling and media interfaces provide network connectivity for signaling and
media traffic. The 4600 has 4 SFP ports (P0-P3) which operate at 1 Gb speed and 2
SFP+ ports (P4-P5) which operate at 10GbE speed. Either may be used.
The optical 10GbE ports can accept an LC fiber
connector using either single mode or multimode cable.
SFP/SFP+ Transceivers
This section describes the small form factor transceivers used for the signaling and
media interfaces.
SFP/SFP+ Information
Only transceivers qualified by Oracle can be used in the Acme Packet 4600. Mixed
transceiver types are unsupported. Both transceiver locations must be populated with
the same SFP or SFP+ type based on compliance testing. The transceivers are
inserted into the NIU.
The following SFP/SFP+ transceiver types are used:
•
Multi Mode (SX)
•
Single Mode (LX)
SFP/SFP+ Identification
The multi mode SFP+ transceiver for the Acme Packet 4600 features a silver clasp
latch. The label on the back of this SFP+ reads 850nm LASER PROD. This
transceiver features a silver bale clasp latch.
