Software release
  • 4-port: JUNOS 4.1 and later
  • 8-port: JUNOS 5.2 and later
  • 12-port: JUNOS 5.1 and later
Description

  • Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
  • 802.1Q Virtual LANs (VLANs)
  • Circuit cross-connect (CCC) VLAN
Cables and connectors 4-port PICs:
  • Connector: Two-pair, category 5 unshielded twisted-pair connectivity through an RJ-45 connector
  • Pinout: MDI noncrossover

8-port PICs:
  • FX optical interface
    • Connector: MT-RJ female
    • Length: 1.24-mile / 2-km reach on 62.5/125 micrometer MMF
    • Wavelength: 1,270 to 1,380 nm
    • Average Launch Power: –20 to –14 dBm
    • Receiver Saturation: –14 dBm
    • Receiver Sensitivity: –34 dBm

12-port PIC:
  • Very High Density Connector Interface (VHDCI) to RJ-21 cable that connects to an RJ-45 patch panel
LEDs Status LEDs, one bicolor:
  • Off—PIC ports not enabled
  • Green—PIC is operating normally
  • Red—PIC has an error or failure

4-port and 8-port PICs have port LEDs, one pair per port:
  • Link—If green, the port is online; if there is no light, the port is down

    Note: The Link LED remains lit on the 8-port PIC when the port is down.

  • RX—If flashing green, the port is receiving data; if there is no light, the port might be on, but is not receiving data

The 12-port PIC have port LEDs, one per port:
  • Green—100-Mbps link established
  • Flashing green—100-Mbps activity
  • Yellow—10-Mbps link established
  • Flashing yellow—10-Mbps activity
  • Off—No link present

Note: The port LEDs remain lit on the 12-port PIC when the ports are down.
