B.1  CRS-1 NE Explorer

When you choose Configuration > NE Explorer for the Cisco CRS-1, the window displayed by CTM consists of a tree on the left side and a rack view graphic on the right. (See Figure B-1.) The tree provides a hierarchical view and alarm status of the device's racks, slots, ports, and line cards. The Rack View window provides information about the CRS-1 line-card chassis that is selected in the NE Explorer tree. The NE Explorer is ported from the CRS-1 craft web interface (CWI).

The Configuration and Administration menus in the NE Explorer window allow you to configure the CRS-1 device. See 5.4  Configuring the CRS-1, page 5-25 for detailed information about the Configuration and Administration menu options.

Figure B-1 NE Explorer—CRS-1

B.1.1  Rack View

The Rack View window displays a graphic of the CRS-1 line-card chassis that is selected in the NE Explorer tree. Moving the mouse over the graphic displays the current number of critical, major, minor, and warning alarms for the rack, slot, or card. The right-click menu opens the Alarm Browser or the Alarm Log for the selected entity.

The background color of alarms in the Rack View window corresponds to alarm severity. The background alarm color is not configurable.

You can change the alphanumeric LED display on the route processors. Right-click the route processor, choose Set Character Display, enter the new text, and click OK. The LED display changes on the router in real time.

In addition, you can hide or show the front or rear chassis. Right-click the chassis and choose Hide Front Chassis or Hide Rear Chassis. The menu option changes to Show Front Chassis or Show Rear Chassis.

Use the Magnify icon to zoom in anywhere on the rack view.

B.2  ONS 15200 NE Explorer

Figure B-2 NE Explorer—ONS 15200

The tree provides a hierarchical view and alarm status of the selected interface. The node view tab displays a graphic of the interface that is selected in the NE Explorer tree. Selectable interfaces in the ONS 15200 system include:

•ONS 15201 CLIPs

•ONS 15252 Multichannel Units (MCUs)

•ONS 15252 Client Layer Interface Port Modules (CLIPs)

•ONS 15252 Unassociated CLIPs

•Network Controller Board (NCB)

The ONS 15200 is a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) metro system that operates in the 1550-nm transmission window. Over a signal optical fiber pair, the ONS 15200 can carry up to sixteen channels of data in the following bit rates and formats:

•155 Mbps-SONET OC-3 or SDH STM-1

•622 Mbps-SONET OC-12 or SDH STM-4

•2.5 Gbps-SONET OC-48 or SDH STM-16

•1.25 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet

All ONS 15200 configurations consist of one or multiple ONS 15252 MCUs or ONS 15201 Single-Channel Units (SCUs). A CLIP module fits into the ONS 15252 or ONS 15201.

B.2.1  ONS 15201

The ONS 15201 SCU communicates with the other NEs in the ONS 15200 system on a specific wavelength or channel. From the DWDM layer, several channels of information, each occupying a wavelength, enter the ONS 15201 SCU.

B.2.2  ONS 15252

The ONS 15252 MCU communicates with the other NEs in the ONS 15200 system on one or several channels. Each channel occupies a wavelength, but in some ONS 15200 system configurations, the wavelengths can be reused. Several channels of information, each occupying a wavelength, enter the NE from the DWDM layer.

B.2.3  Node View Tab

The Node View tab shows the physical configuration of the system. Moving the mouse pointer over the NE, its shelves, or CLIPs in the node view displays the current alarms for the NE, shelf, or CLIP. Double-clicking a shelf or CLIP displays the shelf or CLIP in the NE Explorer. To display the shelf or CLIP in the Alarm Browser or Equipment Inventory table, right-click a shelf or CLIP and select the desired option from the shortcut menu.

Some nodes in the NE Explorer tree display Alarm Status and Operational State fields. The Alarm Status field shows the total number of critical, major, minor, and warning alarms currently existing on the selected NE. The Operational State field indicates the state of the CLIP. There are four states:

•Unknown—The state cannot be determined.

•Not Installed—The CLIP is not installed.

•Out of Service—The CLIP is installed but is not commissioned and is not carrying traffic.

•In Service—The CLIP is commissioned and is carrying traffic.

The MIB for the ONS 15200 R1.0(5) does not support discovery of the NCB location in a multishelf ONS 15252. However, the NCB is displayed for a single-shelf ONS 15252.

The MIB for the ONS 15200 R1.1(1) and later supports discovery information for the NCB, which is shown as part of the shelf.

B.3  ONS 15216 NE Explorer

The NE Explorer for the ONS 15216 displays information about the selected ONS 15216 NE. (See Figure B-3.)

Figure B-3 NE Explorer—ONS 15216 DCU

ONS 15216 NEs are grouped as active NEs or passive NEs. (See Table B-1.) Passive NEs do not have a management interface, so there is no communication between CTM and passive ONS 15216 NEs. For passive ONS 15216 NEs, the NE Explorer summarizes NE information that has been entered manually through the Domain Explorer and also allows you to specify the serial number. For active ONS 15216 NEs, the NE Explorer allows you to view the actual values of settings and parameters on the NE and modify configurable parameters.

B.5.1.5.1  General Subtab

The General subtab displays general timing information.

Table B-51 Field Descriptions for the General Subtab 

Field	Description
General Timing
Timing Mode	Set the node timing mode: •External—The ONS 15310 derives its timing from a BITS source wired to the backplane pins. •Line—Timing is derived from an OC-N card (non-DWDM nodes) or OSC card (DWDM nodes) that is optically connected to the timing node. •Mixed—Timing is set to external and line timing references. Caution Mixed timing might cause timing loops; it is recommended that you use this mode with care.
SSM Message Set	Choose the sync status message (SSM) set level supported by your network. SSM is a SONET protocol that communicates information about the quality of the timing source. SSM messages are carried on the S1 byte of the SONET Line layer. They enable SONET devices to automatically select the highest quality timing reference and to avoid timing loops. If a Generation 1 node receives a Generation 2 message, the message will be mapped down to the next available Generation 1. For example, an ST3E message becomes an ST3.
Revertive	If checked, the ONS 15310 reverts to a primary reference source after the conditions that caused it to switch to a secondary timing reference are corrected.
Reversion Time	Use the Reversion Time field to specify the time in half-minute increments.
Quality of RES	If your timing source supports the reserved S1 byte, you set the timing quality here. (Most timing sources do not use RES.) Qualities are displayed in descending quality order as ranges. For example, ST3 < RES < ST2 means the timing reference is higher than a Stratum 3 and lower than a Stratum 2.
BITS Facilities 1
In State	Set the BITS In state to In Service (IS) or Out of Service (OOS). If Timing Mode is set to External or Mixed, set the BITS In State for BITS-1 and/or BITS-2 to IS (In Service) depending on whether one or both BITS input pin pairs on the backplane are connected to the external timing source. If Timing Mode is set to Line, set the BITS In State to OOS.
Out State	Set the BITS Out state to IS or OOS. If Timing Mode is set to External or Mixed, set the BITS Out State for BITS-1 and/or BITS-2 to IS depending whether one or both BITS input pin pairs on the backplane are connected to the external timing source. If Timing Mode is set to Line, set the BITS Out State to OOS.
Coding	Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either B8ZS or AMI.
Framing	Set to the framing used by your BITS reference, either Extended Super Frame (ESF), or Super Frame (SF). SSM is not available with Super Frame.
Sync Messaging	If checked, enables the Synchronization Status Message (SSM) for BITS In. (SSM is not available if Framing is set to Super Frame.)
AIS Threshold	If SSM is disabled or Super Frame is used, set the quality level where a node sends an alarm indication signal (AIS) from the BITS-1 Out and BITS-2 Out backplane pins. An AIS is raised when the optical source for the BITS reference falls to or below the SSM quality level defined in this field.
LBO	If you are timing an external device connected to the BITS Out pins, set the distance between it and the ONS 15310. Options are 0-133 ft. (default), 134-266 ft., 267-399 ft., 400-533 ft., and 534-655 ft.

B.5.1.5.2  Reference List Subtab

The Reference List subtab provides timing reference information.

Table B-52 Field Descriptions for the Reference List Subtab 

Field	Description
NE References	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, Ref-3). The node uses Reference 1 unless a failure occurs on that reference, in which case, the node uses Reference 2. If that fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to the internal clock. This is the Stratum 3 clock provided on the TCC+. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting. •Timing Mode set to External—Options are BITS-1, BITS-2, and Internal. •Timing Mode set to Line—Options are the node's working optical cards and Internal. Select the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS source; that is, the node's trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, select Slot 5 as Reference 1. •Timing Mode set to Mixed—Both BITS and optical cards are available, allowing you to set a mixture of external BITS and optical trunk cards as timing references.
BITS-1 Out References	Define the timing references for equipment wired to the BITS Out backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with line nodes, so the options displayed are the working optical cards. BITS-1 Out is enabled as soon as BITS-1 facilities are placed in service.

B.5.1.5.3  Status Subtab

B.6.1.5.1  General Subtab

The General subtab displays general timing information.

Table B-78 Field Descriptions for the General Subtab 

Field	Description
General
Timing Mode	Set to External if the ONS 15327 derives its timing from a BITS source wired to the backplane pins; set to Line if timing is derived from an OC-N card that is optically connected to the timing node. A third option, Mixed, allows you to set external and line timing references. Caution Mixed timing may cause timing loops; it is recommended that you use this mode with care.
SSM Message Set	Choose the SSM set level supported by your network. SSM is a SONET protocol that communicates information about the quality of the timing source. SSM messages are carried on the S1 byte of the SONET Line layer. They enable SONET devices to automatically select the highest quality timing reference and to avoid timing loops. If a Generation 1 node receives a Generation 2 message, the message will be mapped down to the next available Generation 1. For example, an ST3E message becomes an ST3.
Revertive	If checked, the ONS 15327 reverts to a primary reference source after the conditions that caused it to switch to a secondary timing reference are corrected.
Reversion Time	Specify the reversion time in half-minute increments.
Quality of RES	If your timing source supports the reserved S1 byte, you set the timing quality here. (Most timing sources do not use RES.) Qualities are displayed in descending quality order as ranges. For example, ST3 < RES < ST2 means the timing reference is higher than a Stratum 3 and lower than a Stratum 2.
BITS-IN-OUT Facility Type
In Facility Type	Provision the BITS In facility type.
Out Facility Type	Provisions the BITS Out facility type.
BITS IN Facilities
In State	Set the BITS reference to IS (In Service) or OOS (Out of Service). For nodes set to Line timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to OOS. For nodes using External timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to IS.
Coding	Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either B8ZS or AMI.
Framing	Set to the framing used by your BITS reference, either ESF or SF (D4). SSM is not available with Super Frame.
Sync Messaging	If checked, enables the Synchronization Status Message (SSM) for BITS In. (SSM is not available if Framing is set to Super Frame.)
Admin SSM	If the Sync Messaging check box is not checked, you can choose the SSM Generation 2 type from the drop-down list.
BITS OUT Facilities
Out State	Set the BITS reference to IS (In Service) or OOS (Out of Service). For nodes set to Line timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to OOS. For nodes using External timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to IS.
Coding	Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either B8ZS or AMI.
Framing	Set to the framing used by your BITS reference, either ESF or SF (D4). SSM is not available with Super Frame.
AIS Threshold	If SSM is disabled or Super Frame is used, sets the quality level where a node sends an AIS from the BITS-1 Out and BITS-2 Out backplane pins. An AIS is raised when the optical source for the BITS reference falls to or below the SSM quality level defined in this field.
LBO	If you are timing an external device connected to the BITS Out pins, set the distance between it and the ONS 15327. Options are 0-133 ft. (default), 134-266 ft., 267-399 ft., 400-533 ft., and 534-655 ft.

B.6.1.5.2  Reference List Subtab

The Reference List subtab provides timing reference information.

Table B-79 Field Descriptions for the Reference List Subtab 

Field	Description
NE References	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, Ref-3). The node uses Reference 1 unless a failure occurs on that reference, in which case, the node uses Reference 2. If that fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to Internal Clock. This is the Stratum 3 clock provided on the TCC+. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting. •Timing Mode set to External—Options are BITS-1, BITS-2, and Internal Clock. •Timing Mode set to Line—Options are the node's working optical cards and Internal Clock. Select the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS source, that is, the node's trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, select Slot 5 as Reference 1. •Timing Mode set to Mixed—Both BITS and optical cards are available, allowing you to set a mixture of external BITS and optical trunk cards as timing references.
BITS-1 Out References	Define the timing references for equipment wired to the BITS Out backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with line nodes, so the options displayed are the working optical cards. BITS-1 and BITS-2 Out are enabled as soon as BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities are placed in service.
BITS-2 Out References	Define the timing references for equipment wired to the BITS Out backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with line nodes, so the options displayed are the working optical cards. BITS-1 and BITS-2 Out are enabled as soon as BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities are placed in service.

B.7  ONS 15454 SONET NE Explorer

When you choose Configuration > NE Explorer for the ONS 15454 SONET, the window displayed by CTM consists of a tree on the left side and a node property sheet on the right. (See Figure B-12.) The tree provides a hierarchical view and alarm status of the NE's physical shelves and slots. The property sheet shows information about the selected entity (NE or slot). See Node Property Sheet—ONS 15454 SONET for more information.

Figure B-12 NE Explorer—ONS 15454 SONET

---

Note If CTC is launched from the web browser for an ONS 15454 SONET node, the CTC GUI might look different from when it is launched from CTM. This discrepancy occurs because the latest version of CTC (for NE releases supported by CTM) is packaged with CTM. If launched from a browser, the CTC software is retrieved from the NE itself, which might be a different version than that packaged with CTM.

---

When an NE Explorer is in autorefresh mode, all values of an entity that is being edited by the user are automatically refreshed. You will lose all of your changes unless you click the Apply button. To enable autorefresh, click the Refresh Data button in the NE Explorer.

Table B-101 Field Descriptions for the Firewall/Proxy Subtab 

Field	Description
Craft Access Only	If checked, only allows CTC to access the firewall and proxy settings of the NE. Check this item only if the LAN port is used for direct workstation-to-NE connections, and not connected to a LAN. Disabling craft-only access allows the installation of a route to the LAN. Disable this only if the LAN port is actually connected to the LAN. Note This field applies only to ONS 15454 SONET releases earlier than R4.6.
Enable Firewall	If checked, blocks packets routed between the local area and DCC networks. This causes a loss of connectivity to DCC-only connected NEs. CTM cannot reestablish the connection unless the proxy is enabled. Additionally, all NEs connected to the LAN must also have their firewall enabled, or connectivity problems will result. Note This field applies only to ONS 15454 SONET releases earlier than R4.6.
Gateway Settings
Enable Proxy Server on Port	If checked, the ONS 15454 serves as a proxy for connections between the CTM server and ONS 15454s that are DCC-connected to the proxy ONS 15454. The CTM server establishes connections to DCC-connected nodes through the proxy node. The CTM server can connect to nodes that it cannot directly reach from the host on which it runs. The proxy server uses port number 1080. If checked, the following radio buttons are enabled: •External Network Element (ENE)—Configures the ONS 15454 to proxy as an ENE, meaning the NE supports craft access only, supports firewall, and acts as a proxy. •Gateway Network Element (GNE)—Configures the ONS 15454 to proxy as a GNE, meaning the NE supports firewall and acts as a proxy. •Proxy-only—Configures the ONS 15454 to act as a proxy. If unchecked, the node does not proxy; instead, it acts as a LAN-connected NE (LNE).

•Reference List Subtab

•Status Subtab

•Timing Report Subtab

B.7.1.5.1  General Subtab

The General subtab displays general timing information.

Table B-110 Field Descriptions for the General Subtab 

Field	Description
Timing Mode	Set to External if the ONS 15454 derives its timing from a BITS source wired to the backplane pins; set to Line if timing is derived from an OC-N card that is optically connected to the timing node. A third option, Mixed, allows you to set external and line timing references. Caution Mixed timing might cause timing loops; it is recommended that you use this mode with care.
SSM Message Set	Choose the SSM set level supported by your network. SSM is a SONET protocol that communicates information about the quality of the timing source. SSM messages are carried on the S1 byte of the SONET Line layer. They enable SONET devices to automatically select the highest quality timing reference and to avoid timing loops. If a Generation 1 node receives a Generation 2 message, the message will be mapped down to the next available Generation 1. For example, an ST3E message becomes an ST3.
Revertive	If checked, the ONS 15454 reverts to a primary reference source after the conditions that caused it to switch to a secondary timing reference are corrected. Use the Reversion Time field to specify the time in half-minute increments.
Quality of RES	If your timing source supports the reserved S1 byte, set the timing quality here. (Most timing sources do not use RES.) Qualities are displayed in descending quality order as ranges. For example, ST3 < RES < ST2 means the timing reference is higher than a Stratum 3 and lower than a Stratum 2.
In Facility Type	Provision the BITS In facility type.
Out Facility Type	Provisions the BITS Out facility type.
In State/Out State	Set the BITS reference to IS (In Service) or OOS (Out of Service). For nodes set to Line timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set the state to OOS. For nodes using External timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set the state to IS.
Coding	Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either B8ZS or AMI.
Framing	Set to the framing used by your BITS reference, either ESF or SF (D4). SSM is not available with Super Frame.
Sync Messaging	If checked, enables the Synchronization Status Message (SSM) for BITS In. (SSM is not available if Framing is set to Super Frame.)
Admin. SSM	If the Sync Messaging check box is not checked, you can choose the SSM Generation 2 type from the drop-down list.
AIS Threshold	If SSM is disabled or Super Frame is used, sets the quality level where a node sends an AIS from the BITS-1 Out and BITS-2 Out backplane pins. An AIS is raised when the optical source for the BITS reference falls to or below the SSM quality level defined in this field.
LBO	If you are timing an external device connected to the BITS Out pins, set the distance between it and the ONS 15454. Options are 0-133 ft. (default), 134-266 ft., 267-399 ft., 400-533 ft., and 534-655 ft.

The Reference List subtab provides timing reference information.

Table B-111 Field Descriptions for the Reference List Subtab 

Field	Description
NE References	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, Ref-3). The node uses Reference 1 unless a failure occurs on that reference, in which case, the node uses Reference 2. If that fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to the internal clock. This is the Stratum 3 clock provided on the TCC+. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting. •Timing Mode set to External—Options are BITS-1, BITS-2, and Internal. •Timing Mode set to Line—Options are the node's working optical cards and Internal. Select the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS source; that is, the node's trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, select Slot 5 as Reference 1. •Timing Mode set to Mixed—Both BITS and optical cards are available, allowing you to set a mixture of external BITS and optical trunk cards as timing references.
BITS-1 Out References	Define the timing references for equipment wired to the BITS Out backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with line nodes, so the options displayed are the working optical cards. BITS-1 and BITS-2 Out are enabled as soon as BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities are placed in service.
BITS-2 Out References	Define the timing references for equipment wired to the BITS Out backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with line nodes, so the options displayed are the working optical cards. BITS-1 and BITS-2 Out are enabled as soon as BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities are placed in service.

Disable this only if the LAN port is actually connected to the LAN. Note This field applies only to ONS 15454 SDH releases earlier than R4.6.
Enable Firewall	If checked, blocks packets routed between the local area and DCC networks. This causes a loss of connectivity to DCC-only connected NEs. CTM cannot reestablish the connection unless the proxy is enabled. Additionally, all NEs connected to the LAN must also have their firewall enabled, or connectivity problems will result. Note This field applies only to ONS 15454 SDH releases earlier than R4.6.
Gateway Settings
Enable Proxy Server on Port	If checked, the ONS 15454 SDH serves as a proxy for connections between the CTM server and ONS 15454 SDHs that are DCC-connected to the proxy ONS 15454 SDH. The CTM server establishes connections to DCC-connected nodes through the proxy node. The CTM server can connect to nodes that it cannot directly reach from the host on which it runs. The proxy server uses port number 1080. If checked, the following radio buttons are enabled: •External Network Element (ENE)—Configures the ONS 15454 SDH to proxy as an ENE, meaning the NE supports craft access only, supports firewall, and acts as a proxy. •Gateway Network Element (GNE)—Configures the ONS 15454 SDH to proxy as a GNE, meaning the NE supports firewall and acts as a proxy. •Proxy-only—Configures the ONS 15454 SDH to act as a proxy.

General Timing
Timing Mode	Set to External if the ONS 15454 SDH derives its timing from a BITS source wired to the backplane pins; set to Line if timing is derived from an OC-N card that is optically connected to the timing node. A third option, Mixed, allows you to set external and line timing references. Caution Mixed timing might cause timing loops; it is recommended that you use this mode with care.
Revertive	If checked, the ONS 15454 SDH reverts to a primary reference source after the conditions that caused it to switch to a secondary timing reference are corrected.
Reversion Time	Specify the reversion time in half-minute increments.
BITS-IN-OUT Facility Type
In Facility Type	Provision the BITS In facility type.
Out Facility Type	Provisions the BITS Out facility type.

In State	Set the BITS reference to IS or OOS. For nodes set to Line timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to OOS. For nodes using External timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to IS.
Coding	Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either AMI or HDB3.
Framing	Set to the framing used by your BITS reference.
Sync Messaging	If checked, enables the Synchronization Status Message (SSM) for BITS In. (SSM is not available if Framing is set to Super Frame.)
Admin SSM	If the Sync Messaging check box is not checked, you can choose the SSM Generation 2 type from the drop-down list.
Sa Bit	The Sa Bit field is used to transmit the SSM message. The five available Sa bits are Sa4, Sa5, Sa6, Sa7, and Sa8.
BITS OUT Facilities
Out State	Set the BITS reference to IS or OOS. For nodes set to Line timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to OOS. For nodes using External timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to IS.
Coding	Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either AMI or HDB3.
Framing	Set to the framing used by your BITS reference.
AIS Threshold	If SSM is disabled or Super Frame is used, sets the quality level where a node sends an AIS from the BITS-1 Out and BITS-2 Out backplane pins. An AIS is raised when the optical source for the BITS reference falls to or below the SSM quality level defined in this field.

The Reference List subtab provides timing reference information.

Table B-147 Field Descriptions for the Reference List Subtab 

Field	Description
NE References	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, and Ref-3). The node uses Reference 1 unless a failure occurs on that reference, in which case, the node uses Reference 2. If that fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to Internal Clock. This is the Stratum 3 clock provided on the TCC+. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting. •Timing Mode set to External—Options are BITS-1, BITS-2, and Internal Clock. •Timing Mode set to Line—Options are the node's working optical cards and Internal Clock. Select the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS source, that is, the node's trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, select Slot 5 as Reference 1. •Timing Mode set to Mixed—Both BITS and optical cards are available, allowing you to set a mixture of external BITS and optical trunk cards as timing references.
BITS-1 Out References	Define the timing references for the equipment wired to the BITS Out backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with line nodes, so the options displayed are the working optical cards. BITS-1 and BITS-2 Out are enabled as soon as BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities are placed in service.
BITS-2 Out References	Define the timing references for the equipment wired to the BITS Out backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with line nodes, so the options displayed are the working optical cards. BITS-1 and BITS-2 Out are enabled as soon as BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities are placed in service.

Table B-184 Field Descriptions for the General Subtab 

Field	Description
General Timing
Timing Mode	Set to External if the ONS 15600 derives its timing from a BITS source wired to the backplane pins; set to Line if timing is derived from an OC-N card that is optically connected to the timing node.
SSM Message Set	Choose the SSM set level supported by your network. SSM is a SONET protocol that communicates information about the quality of the timing source. SSM messages are carried on the S1 byte of the SONET Line layer. They enable SONET devices to automatically select the highest quality timing reference and to avoid timing loops. If a Generation 1 node receives a Generation 2 message, the message will be mapped down to the next available Generation 1. For example, an ST3E message becomes an ST3.
Revertive	If checked, the ONS 15600 reverts to a primary reference source after the conditions that caused it to switch to a secondary timing reference are corrected.
Reversion Time	Specify the reversion time in half-minute increments.
Quality of RES	If your timing source supports the reserved S1 byte, you set the timing quality here. (Most timing sources do not use RES.) Qualities are displayed in descending quality order as ranges. For example, ST3 < RES < ST2 means the timing reference is higher than a Stratum 3 and lower than a Stratum 2.
BITS-IN-OUT Facility Type
In Facility Type	Provision the BITS In facility type.
Out Facility Type	Provisions the BITS Out facility type.
BITS IN Facilities
In State	Set the BITS reference to IS (In Service) or OOS (Out of Service). For nodes set to Line timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set the state to OOS. For nodes using External timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set the state to IS.
Coding	Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either B8ZS or AMI.
Framing	Set to the framing used by your BITS reference, either ESF or SF (D4). SSM is not available with Super Frame.
Sync Messaging	If checked, enables the Synchronization Status Message (SSM) for BITS In. (SSM is not available if Framing is set to Super Frame.)
BITS OUT Facilities
Out State	Set the BITS reference to IS or OOS. For nodes set to Line timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set the state to OOS. For nodes using External timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set the state to IS.
Coding	Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either B8ZS or AMI.
Framing	Set to the framing used by your BITS reference, either ESF or SF (D4). SSM is not available with Super Frame.

B.11.1.5.2  Reference List Subtab

The Reference List subtab provides timing reference information.

Table B-185 Field Descriptions for the Reference List Subtab 

Field	Description
NE References	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, Ref-3). The node uses Reference 1 unless a failure occurs on that reference, in which case, the node uses Reference 2. If that fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to Internal Clock. This is the Stratum 3 clock provided on the TCC+. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting. •Timing Mode set to External—Options are BITS-1, BITS-2, and Internal Clock. •Timing Mode set to Line—Options are the node's working optical cards and Internal Clock. Select the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS source, that is, the node's trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, select Slot 5 as Reference 1. •Timing Mode set to Mixed—Both BITS and optical cards are available, allowing you to set a mixture of external BITS and optical trunk cards as timing references.
BITS-1 Out References	Define the timing references for equipment wired to the BITS Out backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with line nodes, so the options displayed are the working optical cards. BITS-1 and BITS-2 Out are enabled as soon as BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities are placed in service.
BITS-2 Out References	Define the timing references for equipment wired to the BITS Out backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with line nodes, so the options displayed are the working optical cards. BITS-1 and BITS-2 Out are enabled as soon as BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities are placed in service.

Field

Description

NE References

Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, Ref-3). The node uses Reference 1 unless a failure occurs on that reference, in which case, the node uses Reference 2. If that fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to Internal Clock. This is the Stratum 3 clock provided on the TCC+. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting. •Timing Mode set to External—Options are BITS-1, BITS-2, and Internal Clock. •Timing Mode set to Line—Options are the node's working optical cards and Internal Clock. Select the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS source; that is, the node's trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, select Slot 5 as Reference 1.
