Channelized OC12/STM4 IQ and IQE Interfaces Overview
Channelized IQ and channelized IQE interfaces allow arbitrary and dynamic channelization of serial links, allowing greater flexibility than the channelized interfaces. Channelized OC12/STM4 IQ and IQE Physical Interface Cards (PICs) can be configured to operate in SONET or SDH mode. Each physical port on a multiple-port IQE PIC can be configured to operate in either SONET or SDH mode for increased granularity. The following sections describe the different modes of operation and channelization possibilities.
