Opti-3 is more of a transport device (convert 3x DS3/EC-1 signals into an OC-3) than a termination device. If you're already comfortable with and want to continue using channelized DS3 cards, and you just want an OC-3 handoff from your telco, you could put a TCC+/XC-VT 15454 together relatively cheap, with OC-3 card facing the telco, and DS3XM6 cards facing your equipment (this assumes your telco wants to hand you an OC-3 with VT1.5 mapping, rather than DS3s inside of an OC-3. Instead if your telco is handing you DS3s and you want the Cisco variant of an Opti-3 it's a 15454 with a 4 port OC-3 card, and a 12 port DS3 card- both dirt cheap on the secondary market). If you actually want to terminate the OC-3 on a router you need to go to GSR or something SPA based. For the GSR, there's an Engine0 2 port channelized OC3 card. For SPA platforms there's a 1 port channelized OC3 SPA. AFAIK the STM1 PA for 7200 is SDH only, so you can't terminate a NAm SONET OC3 on it. ~Matt _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
