ML-Series Feature List
ML-Series Feature List
The ML-100T-8 has the following features:
•
Layer 1 data features:
–
10/100BASE-TX half-duplex and full-duplex data transmission
–
IEEE 802.3x compliant flow control
•
SONET features:
–
High-level data link control (HDLC) or frame-mapped generic framing procedure (GFP-F)
framing mechanisms for POS
–
GFP-F supports LEX (default), Cisco HDLC, and Point-to-Point Protocol/Bridging Control
Protocol (PPP/BCP) encapsulation for POS
–
HDLC framing supports LEX encapsulation only
–
Two POS virtual ports
–
Virtual concatenated (VCAT) circuits with Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) or
without LCAS
–
ONS 15310 ML-Series LCAS is compatible with ONS 15454 ML-Series SW-LCAS
