A component type of the category Network element can only receive component types of the category Card/Module.

Characteristic

Description

Mode of operation

Besides the characteristics explained in the previous chapters, it must be indicated on a component type of the category Network element which mode of operation this component type is allocated to. ConnectMaster supports the following modes of operation:

•Synchronous Time Multiplexer STM

•Wave length Multiplexer WDM

•Alternating Current Technology Multiplexer WT

•Carrier Frequency Multiplexer TF/TFH

•TCP/IP Multiplexer IP/Ethernet

Capacity

preconnection

The capacities of the card/module ports placed in the network element can be preconnected. In a multiplexer, ports of various cards can be wired up similar to the preconnection within a card.
