The CTX-2500 card, for use with the ONS 15310 MA SONET or ONS 15310 MA SDH, is a fully nonblocking cross-connect card that operates in a redundant configuration. It performs system initialization, provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, diagnostics, IP address detection/resolution, SONET data communications channel (DCC) termination, system fault detection, and cross-connect maintenance and management for the ONS 15310 MA SONET and ONS 15310 MA SDH. The card also provides the circuitry for the OC-3/OC-12/OC-48 interfaces, and ensures that the system maintains timing with SMC stability.

The CTX-2500 card provides 576 x 576 STS-1 level cross-connections, 96 x 96 TU-3 level cross-connections, 2688 x 2688 VT1.5s, or 2016 x 2016 VT2s.

The CTX-2500 card can be installed in slots 3 or 4. Protection switches between the active and standby CTX-2500 are hitless (less than a 50-ms impact to any traffic).

The CTX-2500 supports errorless side switches (switching from one CTX-2500 on one side of the shelf to the other CTX-2500 on the other side of the shelf) when the switch is initiated through software and is caused by a software upgrade.

There are two PPM (small form factor pluggable [SFP]) slots on the CTX-2500 faceplate. Each slot can contain a one-port PPM. Cisco-qualified SFPs can be single-rate (OC-3, OC-12, or OC-48) or multirate (OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48). Single-rate PPMs are autoprovisioned when they are installed, but multirate PPMs must be provisioned. This behavior can be controlled by NE defaults.

In each node, you need to install two MMUs, one on the east side and one on the west side. You can install the MMU card in slots 1 through 6 and 12 through 17.

The MMU has six ports:

•EXP RX port—Receives the optical signal from the ROADM section available on the NE.

•EXP TX port—Sends the optical signal to the ROADM section available on the NE.

•EXP-A RX port—Receives the optical signal from the ROADM section available on other NEs or rings.

•EXP-A TX port—Sends the optical signal to the ROADM section available on other NEs or rings.

•COM TX port—Sends the optical signal to the fiber stage section.

•COM RX port—Receives the optical signal from the fiber stage section.

The 2.5-Gb/s multirate transponder cards operate on the ITU grid and provide the ONS 15454 SONET and ONS 15454 SDH with enhanced economics in metro DWDM solutions. The multirate transponder cards provide a 2R/3R transponder functionality over a bit rate of 100 Mb/s to 2.5 Gb/s. The cards also provide a single-mode fiber DWDM interface. Multirate transponder cards use pluggable small form factor client interfaces. The cards translate the client input optical signal into an optical signal with an optical frequency on the spacing frequency grid according to ITU-T G.692. The cards are GR-253 and G.957 compliant.

There are two versions of the multirate 2.5G transponder card:

•Multirate 2.5G transponder, nonfiber-protected (TXP_MR_2.5G_xx.x)

•Multirate 2.5G transponder, fiber-protected (TXPP_MR_2.5G_xx.x)

CTM supports two new payloads—DVB-ASI and ISC1—on TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP _MR_2.5G cards. Using the new payloads, you can:

•Manage L1 circuits and links with endpoints.

•Manage historical PM data and alarms related to the new client payloads for TXP-MR-2.5G and TXPP-MR-2.5G cards.

•Retrieve and set RMON thresholds.

Perform the following steps to provision the payloads:

---

Step 1 Click the OTN tab.

C.2.4  Slot Properties—32DMX

The slot properties pane displays information about the 32-channel demultiplexer that is selected in the NE Explorer. Use this properties pane to change the card properties.

The 32-Channel Demultiplexer card (32DMX) is a single-slot optical demultiplexer. The card receives an aggregate optical signal on its COM RX port and demultiplexes it into to 32 100-GHz-spaced channels.

The 32DMX includes these high-level features:

•COM RX port—The input port for the aggregate optical signal being demultiplexed. This port is supported by both a VOA for optical power regulation and a photodiode for optical power monitoring.

•DROP ports (1-32)—On its output, the 32DMX provides 32 drop ports that are typically used for dropping channels within the ROADM node. Each drop port has a photodiode for optical power monitoring. Unlike the two-slot 32DMX-O demultiplexer, the drop ports on the 32DMX do not have a VOA per channel for optical power regulation.

---

Note The 32DMX card works in conjunction with the 32WSS card to create a software-controlled NE with ROADM functionality.

---

C.2.5  Slot Properties—32DMX-L

The slot properties pane displays information about the 32-channel demultiplexer L-band that is selected in the NE Explorer. Use this properties pane to change the card properties.

The 32-Channel Demultiplexer L-Band card (32DMX-L) is a single-slot optical demultiplexer. The card receives an aggregate optical signal on its COM RX port and demultiplexes it into 32 100-GHz-spaced channels. The 32DMX-L card is particularly well suited for use in networks that employ DS fiber or SMF-28 single-mode fiber. The 32DMX-L card can be installed in slots 1 to 6 and in slots 12 to 17.

The 32DMX-L card includes these high-level features:

•COM RX port—The input port for the aggregate optical signal being demultiplexed. This port is supported by both a VOA for optical power regulation and a photodiode for optical power monitoring.

•DROP ports (1 to 32)—On its output, the 32DMX-L card provides 32 drop ports that are typically used for dropping channels within the ROADM node. Each drop port has a photodiode for optical power monitoring. Unlike the two-slot 32DMX-O demultiplexer, the drop ports on the 32DMX-L do not have a VOA per channel for optical power regulation.

A terminal site can be configured using only a 32WSS-L card and a 32DMX-L card plugged into the east or west side of the shelf.

The following figure shows the 32DMX-L card front panel and the basic traffic flow through the ports.

C.2.7  Slot Properties—40-DMX-C

The single-slot 40-Channel Demultiplexer C-Band (40-DMX-C) card demultiplexes forty 100 GHz-spaced channels identified in the channel plan, and sends them to dedicated output ports. The overall optical power can be adjusted using a single VOA that is common to all channels. The 40-DMX-C card is unidirectional, is optically passive, and can be installed in slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.

The 40-DMX card supports the Even and Odd bands. 40-DMX cards provisioned in the Even band support only card provisioning; circuits, links, and patchcords are not supported. The card name depends on the wavelength that is provisioned on the card. The card name is 40-DMX-CE if the supported wavelength belongs to the Even band and 40-DMX-CO if the supported wavelength belongs to the Odd band. When an actual card is plugged into a slot where the same card is preprovisioned, an alarm mismatch is raised if there is a conflict between the wavelength set on the preprovisioned card and the wavelength set on the actual card.

C.2.7.1  40-DMX-C Faceplate Ports

The 40-DMX-C card has two types of ports:

•COM RX port—Refers to the line input port for the aggregate optical signal being demultiplexed. This port is supported by a VOA for optical power regulation and a photodiode for per-channel optical power monitoring.

---

Note By default, the VOA is set to its maximum attenuation for safety purposes (for example, to regulate power during electrical power failure). A manual VOA setting is also available.

---

•DROP TX ports (1 to 40)—On its output, the 40-DMX-C card provides 40 drop ports that are typically used for dropping channels within the ROADM node. These ports are connected using five physical connectors on the front panel that accept MPO client input cables. (MPO cables break out into eight separate cables.) The 40-DMX-C card also has one LC-PC-II optical connector for the main input.

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

The 32-Channel Multiplexer (32MUX_O) card is typically used in hub nodes and provides the multiplexing of 32 channels, spaced at 100 GHz, into one fiber before their amplification and transmission along the line.

The 32MUX_O features include:

•Arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) device that enables full multiplexing functions for the channels.

•Each single-channel port is equipped with VOAs for automatic optical power regulation prior to multiplexing. In the case of electrical power failure, the VOA is set to its maximum attenuation for safety purposes. A manual VOA setting is also available.

•Each single-channel port is monitored using a photodiode to enable automatic power regulation.

•Additional optical monitoring port with 1/99 splitting ratio available.

The following figure shows the block diagram.
