Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy
The Alcatel-Lucent 3HE01364AA (M4-CHOC3-AS-SFP) is a highly versatile “Any-Service Any-Port” (ASAP) Media Dependent Adapter designed for the 7750 Service Router series. This module allows service providers to bridge the gap between legacy TDM/SONET infrastructure and modern IP/MPLS cores. By supporting deep channelization—down to the DS0 level—and multiple encapsulations including ATM and Frame Relay, it enables the consolidation of diverse legacy traffic onto a single routing platform.
From an inventory management perspective, the 3HE01364AA is a vital “Bridge Technology” component. As optical networks move toward pure Ethernet, many critical government and utility sectors still rely on OC-3/STM-1 circuits for low-latency telemetry and voice. Sourcing these as New Surplus is a high-ROI strategy; it avoids the “refurbished lottery” where used SFP cages may have degraded electrical contacts or bent alignment pins. Our New Surplus units provide the multi-year reliability needed for legacy infrastructure that cannot yet be decommissioned, ensuring your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) remains low by avoiding emergency site visits.

Installation & Configuration Guide
Stage 1: Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety)
- Visual Audit: Confirm the IOM (Input/Output Module) carrier card has an open MDA slot.
- ESD Safety: Wear a grounded wrist strap. These ASAP modules contain sensitive ASICs for hardware-based cell/packet processing.
- SFP Inventory: Ensure you have the correct OC-3/STM-1 SFPs (Short Haul, Long Haul, or BiDi) ready for the 4 ports.
Stage 2: Removal
- Soft Shutdown: Use the CLI command
config card 1 mda 1 shutdown(adjust slot numbers accordingly) to stop traffic gracefully. - Cable Management: Carefully disconnect the LC fiber jumpers. Use dust caps immediately.
- Ejection: Loosen the captive screws and use the mechanical ejector levers to pull the card from the IOM backplane.
Stage 3: Installation (Clone & Seat)
- DIP Checks: While this MDA is software-configurable, check for any physical jumper revisions if replacing a very early-generation unit.
- Seating: Slide the 3HE01364AA into the guide rails until it meets the backplane. Use the levers to lock it into place.
- Optical Connection: Insert the SFPs into the cages and reconnect the fiber.
Stage 4: Power-On & Testing
- Initialization: Power the MDA back on via CLI:
no shutdown. - State Check: Run
show mdato verify the “M4-CHOC3-AS-SFP” is provisioned and equipped. - Loopback Testing: For channelized circuits, perform a BERT (Bit Error Rate Test) or local loopback to verify path integrity before re-enabling customer traffic.
Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes
The 3HE01364AA is supported starting from SR-OS (TiMOS) version 4.0 or higher. However, to utilize advanced ASAP features like MLPPP or ATM interworking, version 6.0+ is recommended.
Upgrade Caution: If you are migrating this card from an older SR-7 chassis to a newer SR-12e, ensure the IOM carrier card is compatible. Some newer-generation IOMs (like IOM4-e) may require specific minimum firmware levels to recognize legacy ASAP MDAs. Always check the “Supported Hardware” section of your specific SR-OS release notes before a hardware swap.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What does “ASAP” mean for this module?
ASAP stands for “Any-Service Any-Port.” It means each of the 4 ports can be independently configured for different services like ATM, Frame Relay, or PPP, providing extreme flexibility for mixed-media environments.
- Does it come with the SFPs included?
No. The 3HE01364AA provides the 4 SFP cages, but the optical transceivers must be ordered separately to match your specific fiber distance and wavelength needs.
- Is this card “New Surplus” or “Used”?
This is a New Surplus unit. It has never been deployed in a live network. It is “New” in terms of usage and “Surplus” in terms of its origin from excess project inventory.
- Can this card handle ATM traffic?
Yes. This is one of the primary use cases for the M4-CHOC3-AS-SFP. it supports AAL5 and other ATM cell-processing features.
- What is the warranty period?
We offer a full 1-year replacement warranty on this module. Since it is New Surplus, it carries the same expected lifespan as a factory-fresh unit.
