Software release

• Junos OS Release 6.2 and later
• Junos OS Release 8.4 and later supports the SONET/SDH OC12c/STM4 PICs (PB-4OC12-SON-MM) and (PB-4OC12-SON-SMIR) on the Enhanced III FPC2.

Hardware features

• Multiplexing and demultiplexing
• Rate policing on input
• Rate shaping on output
• Packet buffering, Layer 2 parsing

Cables and connectors

• Duplex SC/PC connector (Rx and Tx)
• SONET/SDH OC12/STM4 fixed transceivers:
  • Multimode
  • Intermediate reach (IR-1)

  Optical interface specifications—see SONET/SDH OC12/STM4 Optical Interface Specifications

Note: To extend the life of the laser, when a PIC is not being actively used with any valid links, take the PIC offline until you are ready to establish a link to another device. For information about taking a PIC offline, see the request chassis pic offline command in the Junos OS System Basics and Services Command Reference .
