Help: ICE_CARDS_SONET

Synchronous Optical Network Interface Module


This module converts Sonet Data to 16 bit data and back.
The Sonet Rev 1 Modules operate at OC3 or OC12 rates.The Sonet Rev2 
modules operate on Port B side at OC3/OC12/OC24 or OC48 rates with
port A operating at OC3/O12 rates only. The IOM=xxx parameter controls
the data handling of the module:

 IOM=SNTXD	- Sonet Rev 1 input  module
 IOM=DXSNT	- Sonet Rev 1 output module
 IOM=SNTR2XD	- Sonet Rev 2 input  module
 IOM=DXSNTR2	- Sonet Rev 2 output module

Sonet Line descrambling is performed on the modules such that
data comes into the system in a user "readable" format.  Modules
are also capable of realtime demux of lower rate signals from 
high band width signals, i.e. OC3 from an OC48. Check with 
www.rumel-online.com/software.htm for a list of software switches
and examples for how to enables modes on each of these modules.
