DACs
DAC combinations DACs can be fitted singly or in combination to provide a mix
of interface types and capacities provided they have a
common backplane configuration. The backplane can be set
for:
- 1.5 Mbit/s / DS1
- 3 Mbit/s / DS3
- 155 Mbit/s / OC3
Mux version DACs allow a mix of interfaces from a common
DS1 backplane configuration.
Increasing node capacity To achieve a greater node capacity, two or more INUs can be
interconnected via a DAC option.
Interface Protection
(electrical DACs)
Line (interface) protection is supported for paired DS1, DS3
and OC3 electrical DACs.
Interface Protection
(optical DACs)
Line (interface) / card protection is supported for paired OC3
optical DACs.
Interface Protection, Eth-
ernet DAC GE3
Interface / card protection is supported for paired DAC GE3
cards.
General
Antistatic bags Enclose spare plug-ins, or plug-ins to be returned for service,
in an antistatic bag. When handling a plug-in to or from an
antistatic bag, do so at the INU/INUe and only when you are
connected to the INU/INUe via an ESD ground strap.
Spare blank panels Keep any removed blanking panels for future use.
