Chapter 21: IXIA 10/100/1000 Load Modules
This chapter provides details about Ixia 10/100/1000 family of load modulesthe specifications and features.
The 10/100/1000 family of load modules implements Ethernet interfaces that run at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or Gigabit (1000 Mbps) speeds. Different numbers of ports and interfaces are available for the different board types. The specifications for these load modules are listed in Table 21-2 on page 21-7. A representative selection of these load modules are pictured on the pages that follow.
A member of the 10/100/1000 family used on the Optixia XM12 and XM2 chassis, the LSM1000XMV16-01, is shown in Figure 21-1 on page 21-1.

Another member of the 10/100/1000 family used on the Optixia XM12 and XM2 chassis, the LSM1000XMS12-01, is shown in Figure 21-2 on page 21-2.

The application load module ALM1000T8 is an 8-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Base T Ethernet copper module which supports the Real World Traffic Suite (includes IxVPN, IxChariot, and IxLoad). This module also supports ARP, PING, and independent Linux SDK applications. The ALM1000T8 load module is shown in Figure 21-4.

1Due to power requirements, only one CPM1000T8 module can be used in a 250 or 400T chassis. Other modules can be used with the CPM1000T8 in the same chassis, but only one CPM1000T8 at a time (except MSM family of modules, which has the same limitation).
2Odd frame sizes can cause diminishment in the actual data rate on this modules.

ALM1000T8 and CPM1000T8
The ALM100T8 and CPM1000T8 has a feature that is non-conformant with the IEEE 802.3 specification. According to the specification, all 4 pairs of signals must be connected in gigabit copper mode for auto-negotiation to function. On the ALM100T8 and CPM1000T8, if auto-negotiation fails using all 4 pairs, auto-negotiation is attempted using only the two pairs used in 10/100 modes. This allows auto-negotiation to succeed even if gigabit mode is enabled for auto-negotiation and a 10/100 only cable is used.
Card LEDs
Each OLM1000STXS24 card incorporates a set of 8 LEDs, as described in Table 21-4.
Each ELM1000ST2, LM1000STX2/4 and LM1000STXS2/4 card incorporates a single LED, as described in Table 21-5.
The ALM1000T8 has a card-level `mgmt' LED next to Port 8. This LED is not currently used.
Port LEDs
Each port on the ALM1000T8 module incorporates a set of 2 LEDs, as described in Table 21-6. The ALM1000T8 also has a card-level `mgmt' LED next to Port 8; this LED is not currently used.
Each LM1000T-5 port incorporates a set of 8 LEDs, as described in Table 21-7 on page 21-14.
Each LM1000TXS4 port incorporates a set of 6 LEDs, as described in Table 21-8.
Each OLM1000STXS24 port incorporates a set of 2 LEDs, as described in Table 21-9.
Each ELM1000ST2, LM1000STX2, LM1000STX4, LM1000STXS2, LM1000STXS4, and LM1000STXS4-256 port incorporates a set of 6 LEDs, as described in Table 21-10 on page 21-16. The LEDs are arranged next to the two connectors associated with each port: Speed, Slave, and RJ45 Link/Tx/Coll are next to the RJ45 connector and Rx/Err, Half, and SFP Link/Tx/Coll are next to the SFP connector.
Table 21-10. Port LEDs for ELM1000ST2, LM1000STX2, LM1000STX4, LM1000STXS2, LM1000STXS4, and LM1000STXS4-256 LED Label Usage Speed Slave RJ45 Link/Tx Rx/Err Half SFP Link/Tx/CollTrigger Out Values
The signals available on the trigger out pins for the LM1000T5 card is described in Table 21-11.
There is no trigger connector on the ALM100T8 and CPM1000T8.
The ELM1000ST2's triggers are not currently used.
The signals available on the trigger out pins for the LM1000TXS4, LM1000TX4, LM1000STXS4, LM1000STX4, LM1000STXS4-256, LM1000STXS2, and LM1000STX2 cards is described in Table 21-12.
