G-Series Gigabit Ethernet Transponder Mode
Note In this section, “cross-connect” and “circuit” have the following meanings: Cross-connect refers to the
connections that occur within a single ONS node to allow a circuit to enter and exit an ONS node. Circuit
refers to the series of connections from a traffic source (where traffic enters the ONS node network) to
the drop or destination (where traffic exits an ONS node network).

G-Series Gigabit Ethernet Transponder Mode
The ONS 15454 and ONS 15454 SDH G-Series cards can be configured as transponders. ONS 15327
G-Series cards cannot be configured as transponders. Transponder mode can be used with any
G-Series-supported GBIC (SX, LX, ZX, coarse wavelength division multiplexing [CWDM], or dense
wavelength division multiplexing [DWDM]).
Figure 23-6 shows a card level overview of a transponder
mode application.
