Glossary
cable assembly
An optical-fiber cable with connectors installed on one or both ends. The
cable assembly interconnects the cabling system with opto-electronic
equipment at either end of the system. Cable assemblies with connectors
only on one end are called pigtails. Cable assemblies with connectors on
both ends are called jumpers or patch cords.
Control Processor
(CP) module
The Control Processor module runs all high level protocols (BGP, OSPF)
and distributes the results (routing updates) to the rest of the system. The
CP manages and configures the IO and Switch Fabric modules, and
maintains and monitors the health of the chassis.
cooling module
(9010CM)
The cooling module is a hot swappable fan tray used to cool the Control
Processor, I/O, and Switch Fabric modules in the Virtual Services Platform
9010. Two cooling modules are installed horizontally in the front of the
chassis.
I/O cooling module
(9012FC)
The I/O cooling module is a hot swappable fan tray used to cool the I/O and
CP modules in the Virtual Services Platform 9012.
I/O cooling module
(9012FCHS)
The I/O cooling module is a hot swappable fan tray used to cool second
generation I/O modules in the Virtual Services Platform 9000.
I/O module
An I/O module is a module that provides network connectivity for various
media (sometimes called Layer 0) and protocol types. I/O modules are also
called Ethernet modules.
light emitting diode
(LED)
A semiconductor diode that emits light when a current passes through it.
Small Form Factor
Pluggable (SFP)
A hot-swappable input and output enhancement component used with
Avaya products to allow gigabit Ethernet ports to link with other gigabit
Ethernet ports over various media types.
Small Form Factor
Pluggable plus (SFP
+)
SFP+ transceivers are similar to SFPs in physical appearance but SFP+
transceivers provide Ethernet at 10 gigabits per second (Gbps).
