Acme Packet 3900 Physical Interfaces

The Acme Packet 3900 platform uses one Network Interface Unit (NIU) that contains all external interfaces with ports for T1 and E1, serial management, network management, USBs, and media management.

The following illustration shows the NIU labels and ports, which you need to know about when you perform the phy-interface configuration.

Figure A-2 Acme Packet 3900 - Rear View

This image displays the rear view of the Acme Packet platform, per the image title, and labels the interfaces with the associated names used by the software.
Ports key
  • T1/E1—For Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) quad span
  • SER MGT—For console access for administrative and maintenance purposes
  • MGMT0—For EMS control, RADIUS accounting, CLI management, SNMP queries and traps, and other network management functions
  • MGMT1 and MGMT2—For High Availability (HA), or for network management with no HA configuration
  • USB—For a storage device, or for installing software
  • P0 - P3—For signaling and media traffic on copper or fiber optic cable

When performing the phy-interface configuration, refer to the following table for mapping each NIU label and operation-type to the appropriate slot and port parameters.

NIU Label Operation-type Slot Port
Mgmt 0 Maintenance 0 0
Mgmt 1 Maintenance 0 1
Mgmt 2 Maintenance 0 2
P0 Media 0 0
P1 Media 0 1
P2 Media 1 0
P3 Media 1 1

Hardware Support

The Acme Packet 3900 hardware provides the following:
  • 1 management interface at 1Gbps
  • 4 media and signalling interfaces at 10/100/1000Mbs
  • 1 HA interface at 10/100/1000Mbs
  • 4 USB ports
  • Hardware transcoding support for up to 5 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) modules
  • 1 quad-span Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) PCIe card

SNMP Hardware Reporting

The Acme Packet 3900 platform relies on a specific set of MIB objects, in addition to the standard MIB objects.

The Acme Packet 3900 platform supports MIB objects for power supplies, fans, temperature sensors, system information, transcoding DSP(s), wancom ports, media ports, and the product OID. The Standard MIBs (such as MIB-2 objects) are supported.

The Acme Packet 3900 monitors the following environmental parameters by way of SNMP:

Updates to sysObjectID OID in the ap-products.mib.
  • Updates the apNetNet 3000Series object to include the apNetNet 3900 object.
Updates to the entity OID in ap-entity-vendortype.mib.
  • Updates the apevPowerSupply object to include the apevPowerSupply 500 W object.
