Access Line Cards Installation & User Guide

Radiance Access Line Cards 5
The Radiance access line card provides the following key features:
• Remote management using Metrobility’s unique Radiance technology which
enables communication with an unmanaged remote device.
• Complete Remote Monitoring (RMON) Group 1 Ethernet Statistics support.
• Remote link testing capability that does not affect the customer’s available
bandwidth.
• User-selectable maximum burst size and bandwidth allocation.
• Individual port enable/disable.
• Far End Fault functionality to detect a loss of the remote card’s fiber port
receiver.
• Duplex auto-negotiation on the copper port.
• Half and full duplex support on the copper port.
• Write protect to enable or disable a remote line card from controlling a locally
managed card.
• Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) and Link Loss Return (LLR) functionality
to aid in troubleshooting.
• Push-button MDI-II/MDI-X switch on the front panel to eliminate the need
for crossover cables on the copper port.
• Fused power on each line card to protect the rest of the cards in the chassis
from a short circuit. The power (PWR) LED on an affected card is not lit if its
fuse is blown.
• Hot swap circuitry.
• Auto-polarity on the copper port.
• Compliance with applicable sections of IEEE 802.3.
• Data frame size transparency.
