Components of the category “Card/Module” have a special status.

They have both connection points and the option to be equipped. The connection points are grouped into 0 to n ports. The number of card slots for further cards/modules is also between 0 and n.

 

Card in card

Only one element of the same category can be integrated into a component of the category “Card/Module”. This is possible up to 3 levels:

Network element – Card/Module – Card/Module – Card/Module

 

Mode of operation

The mode of operation must further be defined on the component type of the category “Card/Module“. The user can select between STM, WDM, WT, TF/TFH, IP/Ethernet or Mixed. The mode of operation defines which capacities and transfer rates can be defined on the card ports.

 

Automatic generation of transport containers

If this option is activated, a transport container is created by the system as soon as 2 ports are connected to each other via a physical path.

Default value

This value harmonises with the option “Automatic generation of the transport containers”. It supplies the components of the automatically generated transport container names.

 

Attenuation/Resistance

These characteristics can be changed at any time and can be subsequently inherited to the component type level.
