The IFX2 is a universal IF board and provides the XPIC function over Integrated IP microwave
The IFX2 is a universal IF board and provides the XPIC function over Integrated IP microwave. The IFX2 uses the DC-I power distribution mode.
The functional version of the IFX2 is SL91.
The board forms XPIC workgroups to expand the capacity of an Integrated IP microwave hop (Native E1+Ethernet) when transmitting one of or a combination of Native E1 services, Native Ethernet services, and Native MPLS/PWE3 services.
The IFX2 transmits one channel of IF signals, and provides a management channel and –48 V power supply to the ODU. The IFX2 supports cross-polarization interference cancellation (XPIC) processing for IF signals.
There are indicators, an IF port, XPIC signal ports, an ODU power switch, and labels on the front panel of the IFX2.
The IFX2 can be inserted in Slots 1 to 14, which have consistent logical slot numbers on the NMS.
This section describes the technical specifications of the IFX2, including microwave working modes, IF specifications, modem specifications, mechanical specifications, and power consumption.
