TX Matrix Plus TXP-CIP Description

TXP-CIP Components

The TXP-CIPs (see Figure 1) are referred to as TXP-CIP-0 and TXP-CIP-1.

• Ports for connections to the LCC control plane, SFC control plane, and other devices.

  Note: The SFC control plane ports are reserved for future use.

• Alarm relay contacts
• Three LEDs—ACTIVE, OK, FAIL— that indicate the status of the TXP-CIP.
• ACT and SPEED port LEDs for the LCC CTRL PLANE ports 0 through 15
• Port LEDs for the reserved ports 16 and 17
• ACT and LINK port LEDs for the SFC CTRL PLANE ports XGE0 through XGE4

The TXP-CIPs are hot-removable and hot-insertable.

TXP-CIP Ports

LCC Control Plane Ports

Control plane connections to the T1600 routers in the routing matrix are provided by sixteen 10/100/1000 Base-T copper RJ-45 LCC control plane ports labeled LCC CTRL PLANE 0 through 15 on the TXP-CIP. UTP Category 5E Ethernet cables connect the LCC CTRL PLANE ports in TXP-CIP-0 and TXP-CIP-1 to the LCC-CBs LCC-CB-0 and LCC-CB-1 in each T1600 router. For more information about connecting TXP-CIPs to LCC-CBs, see Control Plane Connections from the TX Matrix Plus Router to the T1600 Routers.

Note: The ports labeled 4 through 15 on a TXP-CIP are reserved for future use.

JSC Port

Each TXP-CIP contains a copper RJ-45 port, labeled 17, which can be connected to a JCS1200 Control System. See the JCS1200 Control System Hardware Guide  for more information.

Reserved Ports

Each TXP-CIP contains a copper RJ-45 port, labeled 16, which is reserved for future use.

SFC Control Plane Ports

Each TXP-CIP contains five 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports labeled SFC CTRL PLANE XGE0 through XGE4.

Note: These ports are reserved for future use.

TXP-CIP Alarm Relay Contacts

Each TXP-CIP has two alarm relay contacts—labeled RED ALARM and YELLOW ALARM (see Figure 1), located on the bottom of the TXP-CIP. You can connect the TX Matrix Plus router to external alarm-reporting devices by attaching wires to the alarm relay contacts.

Note: If your TX Matrix Plus router contains two host subsystems, we recommend that you connect each relay contact on each TXP-CIP to a separate reporting device.

The terminal blocks that plug into the alarm relay contacts are supplied with the TX Matrix Plus router. They accept wire of any gauge between 28-AWG and 14-AWG (0.08 and 2.08 mm²), which is not provided. Use the wire gauge appropriate for the external device you are connecting.

Whenever a system condition triggers either the red or yellow alarm on the craft interface, the corresponding alarm relay contacts are also activated. The alarms on TXP-CIP-0 and TXP-CIP-1 correspond to the Routing Engines installed into the TXP-CBs in slots CB0 and CB1.
