VersaMux-4000 Operation & Installation Guide

Part No. 24001157

Revision C

Rate

NOTE:

Changing the Aggregate function resets all the port interfaces to

0 K

(zero k).

NOTE:

When the VersaMux is in Port Relay Mode the

Rate

parameter does not appear

and the port operates at the aggregate rate.

NOTE:

If you select a port rate that makes the sum of the port rates greater than the

aggregate rate the system will generate an “Insuff BW” alarm (upon activation).
You need to increase the aggregate rate or decrease the sum of the port rates before
you can successfully activate the configuration. In addition the system will not enable
you to select a rate for a single port that is greater than the aggregate rate (albeit the
sum of the port rates may exceed the aggregate rate). The Statistics-Bandwidth screen
shows the actual bandwidth usage for each interface that you can use to calculate the
required aggregate rate. See

“Bandwidth-Stats” on page 5-45

for more information.

The

Rate

parameter specifies the rate of the port interface.

The values for the

Rate

parameter are:

0 (Mode = Disabled)

Supported Rates for Fiber-CV Mode (kbps):
96, 112, 128, 144, 192, 224, 256, 288, 320, 384, 448, 512, 576, 640, 768, 960,
1024, 1152, 1344, 1536, 1544, 1920, 1952, 2048, 2304, 2560, 2816, 3072, 3088,
3200, 3584, 3904, 3968, 4096, 4608, 4800, 4824, 5120, 5632, 5856, 6144, 6312,
6656, 7168, 7680, 7808, 8064, 8192, 8448

Supported Rates for Fiber-FOM Mode (kbps):
96 to 16384 in n x 8 kbps increments (The 16384 rate applies when the unit is in the
“Port Relay Mode.” See

Table 5-5, “Aggregate Parameter and Option Descriptions,” on

page 5-17

an d

“Selecting the Rate in FOM Mode” on page 5-20

for more information.)

Supported Rates for Cu-CDI Mode (kbps):
96, 112, 128, 144, 192, 224, 256, 288, 320, 384, 448, 512, 576, 640, 768, 960,
1024, 1152, 1344, 1536, 1544, 1920, 1952, 2048, 2304, 2560, 2816, 3072, 3088,
3200, 3584, 3904, 3968, 4096, 4608

OW-Filter

Version 1.0 of the VersaMux does not support order-wire functionality on the
unbalanced electrical interface. The

OW-Filter

parameter controls the Order-Wire filter

and is only available on the combination module (the VersaMux can “pass through” the
order-wire signal in an optical FOM frame).

Enabled

- This option enables the Order-Wire filter which prevents the order-wire

signal from entering the VersaMux processing system. The order-wire signal may cause
bit errors in the VersaMux system.

Disabled

- This option disables the Order-Wire filter and enables greater drive

distances on the unbalanced electrical interface with all rates except 4,608 kbps (the
4,608 kbps rate drive distance is not affected by the order-wire filter).

The fully tested and verified CDI Balanced OW-Filter enabled rates are (in kbps):

256, 288, 512, 576, 768, 1024, 1152, 1536, 2048, 2304 (note that these are the most
common rates used by end-devices that support order-wire).
