This section describes the FC_MR-4 card supported in CTM.

D.1.1  Slot Properties—FC_MR-4

The slot properties pane displays information about the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET or ONS 15454 SDH card slot that is selected in the NE Explorer tree. Use this properties pane to change the card properties.

The Fiber Channel 4-port (FC_MR-4) card is a 1.0625- or 2.125-Gb/s Fiber Channel/Fiber Connectivity (FICON) card that integrates non-SONET or non-SDH framed protocols into a SONET or SDH time-division multiplexing (TDM) platform through virtually concatenated payloads.

The FC_MR-4 card uses pluggable Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) to transport non-SONET/SDH-framed, block-coded protocols over SONET/SDH in virtually concatenated or contiguously concatenated payloads. The FC_MR-4 can transport fiber channel over SONET/SDH using fiber-channel client interfaces and allows transport of one of the following at a time:

Two contiguously concatenated (CCAT) STS-24c/VC4-8c circuits

One STS-48c/VC4-16c CCAT

Two virtually concatenated (VCAT) circuits (STC3c-8V/VC4-8v) compliant with ITU-T G.7041 GFP-T and Telcordia GR-253-CORE

One STS-24c/VC4-8c CCAT and one STS-24c/VC4-8c VCAT

D.3  Multirate Cards

This section describes the following multirate cards supported within CTM:

Slot Properties—ASAP_4

Slot Properties—MRC-12

Slot Properties—MRC25G-4

Slot Properties—MRC25G-12

D.3.1  Slot Properties—ASAP_4

The slot properties pane displays information about the Cisco ONS 15600 SONET or ONS 15600 SDH slot that is selected in the NE Explorer tree. Use this properties pane to change the card properties.

The ONS 15600 SONET/SDH Any Service Any Port (ASAP_4) card provides up to 16 optical network interface ports, depending on the configuration. When configured for OC-192 XFP, the card provides a maximum of 4 OC-192 optical network interface ports. When the ASAP_4 card is configured with a combination of OC-192 XFP and lower-rate plugins such as OC-48, OC-12, or OC-3, the number of optical network interfaces is factored by 4 for each OC-192. For example, if the ASAP_4 card is configured with 1 OC-192, the card provides a maximum of 13 optical network interfaces (1 for OC-192 and 12 for lower-rate plugins). If the ASAP_4 card is configured with 2 OC-192s, the card provides a maximum of 10 optical network interfaces (2 for OC-192 and 8 for lower-rate plugins). The card can be installed in any I/O module card slot. The card provides 16 optical interfaces on the front panel. When configured for Ethernet, an ASAP port forwards Ethernet frames by encapsulating them in Cisco HDLC or GFP and transports them over SONET/SDH to the far-end GE port, where the unencapsulation is performed.

The OC-192 XFP feature adds the capability to the existing ONS 15600 ASAP card to support 10 GB small form factor pluggable (XFP) optics. This functionality augments the ASAP card with an OC-192 line rate and allows the ASAP card to provide a range of optical service rates that scale from OC-3 to OC-192.


Note The OC-192 XFP cannot be modified once it is configured.


The slot properties pane for the ASAP_4 card displays the following tabs: Module View, Card Identification, Pluggable Provisioning, Line, STS, VC4, Loopback, Protection, Alarm Behavior, J1 Path Trace, Info, Ether Line, Ether Loopback, Ether Alarm Behavior, POS Alarm Behavior, POS Line, Transceiver, Section Trace, and Auto Laser Shutdown. The tabs shown depend on the NE configuration.

D.3.2  Slot Properties—MRC-12

The slot properties pane displays information about the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET and ONS 15454 SDH slot that is selected in the NE Explorer tree. Use this properties pane to change the card properties.

The MRC-12 multirate card (MRC) provides up to 12 OC-3/STM-1 ports, 12 OC-12/STM-4 ports, or 4 OC-48/STM-16 ports using small form factor pluggables (SFPs), in any combination of line rates. All ports are Telcordia GR-253 compliant. The SFP optics can use SR, IR, LR, coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM), and DWDM SFPs to support unrepeated spans.

The ports operate at up to 2488.32 Mb/s over a single-mode fiber. The MRC-12 card has 12 physical connector adapters with 2 fibers per connector adapter (Tx and Rx). The card supports VT payloads, STS-1 payloads, and concatenated payloads at STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c, STS-18c, STS-24c, STS-36c, or STS-48c signal levels. It is fully interoperable with the ONS 15454 G-Series Ethernet cards.

The card supports 1+1 unidirectional and bidirectional facility protection. It also supports 1+1 protection in 4-fiber BLSR applications for the ONS 15454 SONET and in 4-fiber MS-SPRing applications for the ONS 15454 SDH, where both span switching and ring switching might occur. You can provision this card as part of a BLSR, UPSR, or 1+1 linear configuration for the ONS 15454 SONET or an MS-SPRing, SNCP, or linear configuration for the ONS 15454 SDH.


Note Longer distances are possible in an amplified system using dispersion compensation.



Note MRC-12 cards can only protect another MRC-12 card if the card is in the same speed slot (drop or trunk slot) and if both ports have matching line rates. For example, port 1 of the MRC-12 card 1 will protect port 1 of the MRC-12 card 2 only if both ports are provisioned with the same rate (for example, OC-12/STM-4). If the ports are provisioned with different rates, you cannot set a 1+1 protection.


You can install MRC-12 cards in slots 1 to 6 and slots 12 to 17 with an XCVT, XC10G, XC-VXL-2.5G, XC-VXL-10G, or XC-VXC-10G card.


Note The MRC-12 card supports an errorless software-initiated cross-connect card switch when used in a shelf equipped with XC-VXL-2.5G, XC-VXL-10G, or XC-VXC-10G cards.


The maximum bandwidth of the MRC-12 card is determined by the cross-connect card, as shown in the following table.

Table D-49 Maximum Bandwidth by Shelf Slot for the MRC-12 in Different Cross-Connect Configurations

Following are the general port rate configuration rules:

The maximum bandwidth for each port is OC-48.

Port 1 can occupy all possible backplane bandwidth but cannot exceed OC-48.

Each port group can have a maximum of 25% backplane bandwidth, except for group 1.

Only a master port can occupy all possible bandwidth assigned to the group.

Based on the cross-connect card and slot limitations shown in Table D-49, the following rules apply for various synchronous transport signal (STS) available bandwidths:

STS-12

Port 1 is the only port that is usable as an OC-12/STM-4. If port 1 is used as an OC-12/STM-4, all other ports are disabled.

Ports 1, 4, 7, and 10 are the only ports usable as OC-3/STM-1. If any of these ports is used as an OC-3/STM-1, Ports 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 are disabled.

STS-48

Port 1 is the only port usable as an OC-48/STM-16. If port 1 is used as an OC-48/STM-16, all other ports are disabled.

Ports 1, 4, 7, and 10 are the only ports usable as OC-12/STM-4.

If port 4 is used as an OC-12/STM-4, Ports 2 and 3 are disabled.

If port 7 is used as an OC-12/STM-4, Ports 5, 6, and 8 are disabled.

If port 10 is used as an OC-12/STM-4, Ports 9, 11, and 12 are disabled.

Any port can be used as an OC-3/STM-1 as long as all of the above rules are followed.

STS-192

Ports 1, 4, 7, and 10 are the only ports usable as OC-48/STM-16.

If port 4 is used as an OC-48/STM-16, Ports 2 and 3 are disabled.

If port 7 is used as an OC-48/STM-16, Ports 5, 6, and 8 are disabled.

If port 10 is used as an OC-48/STM-16, Ports 9, 11, and 12 are disabled.

If port 4 is used as an OC-12/STM-4, Ports 2 and 3 can be used as an OC-12/STM-4 or OC-3/STM-1.

If port 7 is used as an OC-12/STM-4, Ports 5, 6, and 8 can be used as an OC-12/STM-4 or OC-3/STM-1.

If Port 10 is as used as an OC-12/STM-4, Ports 9, 11, and 12 can be used as an OC-12/STM-4 or OC-3/STM-1.

If port 4 is used as an OC-3/STM-1, Ports 2 and 3 can be used as an OC-12/STM-4 or OC-3/STM-1.

If port 7 is used as an OC-3/STM-1, Ports 5, 6, and 8 can be used as an OC-12/STM-4 or OC-3/STM-1.

If port 10 is used as an OC-3/STM-1, Ports 9, 11, and 12 can be used as an OC-12/STM-4 or OC-3/STM-1.

Any port can be used as an OC-12/STM-4 or OC-3/STM-1, as long as all of the above rules are followed.

The slot properties pane displays information about the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET slot that is selected in the NE Explorer tree. Use this properties pane to change the card properties.

The MRC-2.5G-4 multirate card provides up to four OC-3/STM-1 ports, four OC-12/STM-4 ports, or one OC-48/STM-16 port using small form factor pluggables (SFPs), in various combinations of line rates. All ports are Telcordia GR-253 compliant. The SFP optics can use SR, IR, LR, coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM), and DWDM SFPs to support unrepeated spans.

The ports operate at up to 2488.320 Mb/s over a single-mode fiber. The MRC-2.5G-4 card has four physical connector adapters with two fibers per connector adapter (Tx and Rx). The card supports VT payloads, STS-1 payloads, and concatenated payloads at STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c, STS-18c, STS-24c, STS-36c, or STS-48c signal levels. It is fully interoperable with the ONS 15454 G-Series Ethernet cards.

The MRC-2.5G-4 port contains a transmit and receive connector (labeled) on the card faceplate. The card supports 1+1 unidirectional and bidirectional facility protection. It also supports 1+1 protection in four-fiber BLSR applications where both span switching and ring switching might occur. You can provision this card as part of an BLSR, UPSR, or 1+1 linear configuration.


Note Longer distances are possible in an amplified system using dispersion compensation.
