Indicator 

State and Significance   

LINK 

If the indicator is ON, the link is connected. If the indicator is OFF, the 
link is disconnected. 

ACT

 

If the indicator is OFF, no data is being transmitted or received. If the 
indicator is flashing, data is being transmitted or received. 

 

Table 4-40 shows the attributes of channelized and unchannelized POS optical interface 
modules. The SFP optical module is configured separately and its attributes are shown in 
Table 4-20. 

Table 4-40 Attributes of channelized and unchannelized POS optical interface modules 

Rate  

155 Mbit/s 

Operating mode 

Unchannelized: 155 Mbit/s and full-duplex 
Channelized: 63 E1 channels or 84 T1 channels 

Applicable standard 

STM-1/OC-3c SONET/SDH 
IETF RFC1619/1661/1662 

Supported network protocol 

IP 

Supported protocols 

PPP, HDLC, Frame Relay, and MFR (Only 1CPOS(E) 
supports Frame Relay and MFR.) 

 

The HSSI interface modules of the Secure Router 8012 are as follows: 

z

 

1-port HSSI

 interface (1HSSI) 

z

 

2-port HSSI interface (2HSSI

) 

The High Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) is connected by the HSSI cable. In the sending 
direction, the IP data packet is encapsulated with PPP or HDLC and sent to the HSSI interface 
line after being transmitted into electrical signals. In the receiving direction, data is 
transmitted into the electrical signals and is processed with the HDLC frame. The device 
extracts the IP data packet in the reverse process and forward the IP data packet.
