Modular Port Adapters
The modular port adapters (MPAs) are supported in the NCS-57C3-MOD fixed-port routers. Each MPA has
a STATUS and ATTN (attention) LED, and each port on the MPA has an adjacent A/L (Active/Link) LED.
To determine which transceivers and cables are supported by these MPAs, see
Compatibility
Note
Before replacing an MPA card remove the port-range configurations that are applied on that MPA. If not
done, interfaces in the new MPA card will not be available.
