Configuring the
Low Power Mode
on the AT-CM3
Line Cards
For background information, refer to “Low Power Mode” on page 46. To
set the low power mode on a remote AT-CM3 Line Card:
1. From the Remote Module Configuration Menu, select Configure Low
Power Mode to display the menu in Figure 75 on page 186.
2. To activate the low power mode on the line card and to turn off the
LEDs, select Configure Line Card to Low Power Mode (On). To
disable the low power mode and turn on the LEDs, select Configure

Configuring the
OAM Clients
For background information, refer to “OAM Client Settings” on page 69. To
configure the settings on OAM clients on remote line cards:
1. From the Remote Module Configuration Menu, select Port A, the fiber

remote peer management: Link Test with OAM, MissingLink with
OAM, and Smart MissingLink with OAM.
Caution
A line card will reset when its operating mode is changed, possibly
