A. Yes, you can provision the OC-3 IR 1310 card to support Synchronous Transport Module (STM)-1 signals. However all four ports on the card must be provisioned for STM-1. All four ports drop and insert STM-1 traffic in unprotected or 1+1 protected Automatic Protection Switch (APS) mode. Each STM-1 is mapped as a 155 Mbps concatenated signal (Synchronous Transport Signal (STS)-3c) for transparent transport over a SONET network. The original STM-1 traffic can be handed off as an STM-1 or an OC-3.
