Note When LDCC is provisioned, an SDCC termination is allowed on the same port, but is not recommended. Using SDCC and LDCC on the same port is only needed during a software upgrade if the software version does not support LDCC. You can provision SDCCs and LDCCs on different ports in the same node.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > LDCC tabs.
Step 2 Click Create.
Step 3 In the Create LDCC Terminations dialog box, click the ports where you want to create the DCC termination. To select more than one port, press the Shift key or the Ctrl key.
Note LDCC refers to the Line DCC, which is used for ONS 15327 DCC terminations. The SONET LDCCs and the SDCC (when not used as a DCC termination by the ONS 15327) can be provisioned as DCC tunnels. See the "DLP-B313 Create a DCC Tunnel" task on page 19-6.
Step 4 In the Port State area, click the Set to IS radio button.
Step 5 Verify that the Disable OSPF on DCC Link check box is unchecked.
Step 6 If the LDCC termination is being created to include a non-ONS node, check the Far End is Foreign check box. This automatically sets the far-end node IP address to 0.0.0.0, which means that any address can be specified by the far end. To change the default to a specific the IP address, see the "DLP-B26 Change a Line DCC Termination" task.
Step 7 Click OK.
Note DCC Termination Failure (EOC) and Loss of Signal (LOS) alarms are present until you create all network DCC terminations and put the DCC termination OC-N ports in service.
Note There are four possibilities for the appearance of DCCs: green/solid, green/dashed, gray/solid, and gray/dashed. DCC appearance corresponds to the following states: active/routable, active/nonroutable, failed/routable, and failed/nonroutable. Circuit provisioning uses active/routable links. Selecting a node or span in the graphic area displays information about the node and span in the status area.

DLP-B42 Install Fiber-Optic Cables in a 1+1 Configuration
Note ONS 15327 OC-12 and OC-48 cards have SC connectors. OC-3 and G1000-2 cards have LC connectors. On ONS 15327 OC-12 and OC-48 card ports, the left connector is the transmit port and the right connector is the receive port.
Step 1 Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all 1+1 nodes.
Step 2 Align the keyed ridge of the cable connector with the transmit (Tx) connector of a working OC-N card at one node and plug the other end of the fiber into the receive (Rx) connector of a working OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card displays an SF LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched (one fiber connects a receive port on one card to a receive port on another card, or the same situation with transmit ports).
Step 3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the corresponding protect ports on the two nodes and all other working/protect port pairs you want to place in a 1+1 configuration.
Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-B43 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for Path Protection Configurations
Note To avoid error, connect fiber-optic cable so that the highest slot in the shelf represents the east port, and the lowest slot represents the west port. Fiber connected to an east port at one node must plug into the west port on an adjacent node.
Note You can install the fiber immediately after installing the cards, or wait until you are ready to turn up the network. See Chapter 4, "Turn Up Network."
Step 1 Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all path protection nodes.
Step 2 Plug the fiber into the Tx connector of an OC-N card at one node and plug the other end of the fiber into the Rx connector of an OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card displays an SF LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched (for example, one fiber connects a receive port on one card to a receive port on another card).
Step 3 Repeat Step 2 until you have configured the entire ring.
Figure 16-7 shows fiber connections for a four-node path protection with trunk (span) cards in Slot 1 (west) and Slot 4 (east).

DLP-B44 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for BLSR Configurations
Note To avoid error, connect fiber-optic cable so that the highest slot on the ONS 15327 chassis represents the east port, and the lowest slot represents the west port. Fiber connected to an east port at one node must plug into the west port on an adjacent node.
Note You can install the fiber immediately after installing the cards, or wait until you are ready to turn up the network. See Chapter 4, "Turn Up Network."
Step 1 Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all BLSR nodes.
Step 2 Plug the fiber into the Tx connector of an OC-N card at one node and plug the other end into the Rx connector of an OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card will display an SF LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched.

Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-B60 Log into CTC
Note For information about CTC views and navigation, see Appendix A, "CTC Information and Shortcuts."
Step 1 From the computer connected to the ONS 15327, start Netscape (PC or UNIX) or Internet Explorer (PC only):
•If you are using a PC, launch Netscape or Internet Explorer from the Windows Start menu or a shortcut icon.
•If you are using UNIX, launch Netscape from the command line by typing one of the following:
–To install Netscape colors for Netscape use, type:
–To limit Netscape to 32 colors so that if the requested color is not available, Netscape chooses the closest color option, type:
Note CTC requires a full 24-color palette to run properly. When using color-intensive applications such as Netscape in UNIX, it is possible that UNIX could run out of colors to use for CTC. The -install and the -ncols 32 command line options limit the number of colors that Netscape uses.
Step 2 In the Netscape or Internet Explorer web address (URL) field, enter the ONS 15327 IP address. For initial setup, this is the default address, 192.1.0.2.
Step 3 Press Enter.
Note If you are logging into ONS 15327 nodes running different releases of CTC software, log into the node running the most recent release. If you log into a node running an older release, you will receive an INCOMPATIBLE-SW alarm for each node in the network running a new release, and CTC will not be able to manage these nodes. To check the software version of a node, select About CTC from the CTC Help menu. To resolve an alarm, refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 4 If a Java Plug-in Security Warning dialog box appears, complete the "DLP-B328 Install Public-Key Security Certificate" task on page 19-22 to install the public-key security certificate required by Software Release 4.1 and later.
After you complete the security certificate dialog box (or if the certificate is already installed), a Java Console window displays the CTC file download status. The web browser displays information about your Java and system environments. If this is the first login, CTC caching messages appear while CTC files are downloaded to your computer. The first time you connect to an ONS 15327, this process can take several minutes. After the download, the CTC Login dialog box appears (Figure 16-10).
Figure 16-10 Logging into CTC
Step 5 In the Login dialog box, type a user name and password (both are case sensitive). For initial setup, type the user name CISCO15 and the password otbu+1.
Note The CISCO15 user is provided with every ONS 15327. CISCO15 has superuser privileges, so you can create other users. You must create another superuser before you can delete the CISCO15 user. CISCO15 is delivered with the otbu+1 password. To change the password for CISCO15, click the Provisioning > Security tabs after you log in and change the password. To set up ONS 15327 users and assign security, go to the "NTP-B30 Create Users and Assign Security" procedure on page 3-2. Additional information about security is provided in the "Security and Timing" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Reference Manual.
Step 6 Each time you log into an ONS 15327, you can make selections about the following login options:
•Node Name—Displays the IP address entered in the web browser and a drop-down list of previously entered ONS 15327 IP addresses. You can select any ONS 15327 on the list for the login, or you can enter the IP address (or node name) of any new node where you want to log in.
•Additional Nodes—Displays a list of current login node groups. To create a login node group or add additional groups, see the "DLP-B61 Create Login Node Groups" task.)
Note The login node group feature supersedes the topology host login feature in found in previous ONS 15327 releases. On upgrade, existing topology host definitions found in the ctc.ini (Windows) or .ctcrc (UNIX) files are converted to a Topology Host login group.
•Disable Network Discovery—Check this box to view only the ONS 15327 (and login node group members, if any) entered in the Node Name field. Nodes linked to this node through DCCs are not discovered and will not appear in the CTC network view. Using this option can decrease the CTC startup time in networks with many DCC-connected nodes and reduces memory consumption.
•Disable Circuit Management—Check this box to disable discovery of existing circuits. Using this option can decrease the CTC initialization time in networks with many existing circuits and reduces memory consumption. This option does not prevent the creation and management of new circuits.
Step 7 Click Login.
If the login is successful, the CTC window appears. From here, you can navigate to other CTC views to provision and manage the ONS 15327. If you need to turn up the shelf for the first time, see Chapter 3, "Turn Up Node." If login problems occur, refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 8 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Step 5 Click OK.
The next time you log into an ONS 15327, the login node group will be available in the Additional Nodes list of the Login dialog box. For example, in Figure 16-11, a login node group is created that contains the IP addresses for Nodes 1, 4, and 5. During login, if you choose this group from the Additional Nodes list and Disable Network Discovery is not selected, all nodes in the figure appear. If the login group and Disable Network Discovery are both selected, only Nodes 1, 4, and 5 appear. You can create as many login groups as you need. The groups are stored in the CTC preferences file and are not visible to other users.

|
Step 1 In the node view, click the Provisioning > Timing > General tabs.
Step 2 In the General Timing area, complete the following information:
•Timing Mode—Choose External if the ONS 15327 derives its timing from a building integrated timing supply (BITS) source wired to the port on the MIC; choose 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.
Note Because Mixed timing can cause timing loops, Cisco does not recommend its use. Use this mode with care.
•SSM Message Set—Choose a synchronization status messaging (SSM) message set. All ONS 15327s can translate Generation 2 message sets, so choose Generation 2 if the ONS 15327 is connected to other ONS 15327s. Choose Generation 1 only when the ONS 15327 is connected to equipment that does not support Generation 2. If a node that has its SSM Message Set set to Generation 1 receives a Generation 2 message, it maps the message down to the next available Generation 1 message. The transit node clock (TNC) and ST3E become an ST3.
•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. Refer to the "Security and Timing" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15327 Reference Manual for more information about SSM, including definitions of the SONET timing levels.
•Revertive—Check this check box if you want the ONS 15327 to revert to a primary reference source after the conditions that caused it to switch to a secondary timing reference are corrected.
•Reversion Time—If Revertive is checked, choose the amount of time the ONS 15327 will wait before reverting to its primary timing source. Five minutes is the default.
Step 3 In the Reference Lists area, complete the following information:
Note You can define up to three timing references for the node and up to six BITS Out references. BITS Out references define the timing references used by equipment that can be attached to the node's BITS Out connections on the MIC. If you attach equipment to BITS Out connections, you normally attach it to a node with Line mode because equipment near the external timing reference can be directly wired to the reference.
•NE Reference—Allows you to define three timing references (Ref 1, Ref 2, Ref 3). The node uses Reference 1 unless a failure occurs to that reference, in which case the node uses Reference 2. If Reference 2 fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to Internal Clock. The internal clock is the Stratum 3 clock provided on the XTC. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting.
•If the Timing Mode is set to External, your options are BITS1, BITS2, and Internal Clock.
•If the Timing Mode is set to Line, your options are the node's working OC-N cards and Internal Clock. Choose the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS source, that is, the node's trunk (span) 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, choose Slot 5 as Reference 1.
•If the Timing Mode is set to Mixed, both BITS and OC-N cards are available, allowing you to set a mixture of external BITS and OC-N trunk (span) cards as timing references.
•BITS-1 Out/BITS-2 Out—Define the timing references for equipment wired to the BITS Out connections on the MIC. BITS-1 Out and BITS-2 Out are enabled when BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities are put in service. If Timing Mode is set to external, choose the OC-N card used to set the timing. If Timing Mode is set to Line, you can choose an OC-N card or choose NE Reference to have the BITS-1 Out and/or BITS-2 Out follow the same timing references as the NE.
Step 4 Click the BITS Facilities subtab.
Note The BITS Facilities section sets the parameters for your BITS1 and BITS2 timing references. Many of these settings are determined by the timing source manufacturer. If equipment is timed through BITS Out, you can set timing parameters to meet the requirements of the equipment.
Step 5 In the BITS In area, complete the following information:
•Facility Type—provisions the BITS In facility type. Options are DS1 or 64 KHz.
•BITS In State—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 whether one or both BITS input pin pairs on the MIC are connected to the external timing source. If Timing Mode is set to Line, set the BITS In State to OOS (out of service).
Step 6 If BITS In State is set to OOS, continue with Step 7. If the BITS In State is set to IS, complete the following information:
•Coding—Choose the coding used by your BITS reference, either B8ZS (binary 8-zero substitution) or AMI (alternate mark inversion).
•Framing—Choose the framing used by your BITS reference, either ESF (Extended Super Frame) or SF (D4) (Super Frame).
•Sync Messaging—Check this check box to enable SSM. 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.
Step 7 In the BITS Out area, complete the following information:
•Facility Type—provisions the BITS Out facility type. Options are DS1 or 64 KHz.
•BITS Out State—If equipment is connected to the node's BITS output pins on the MIC and you want to time the equipment from a node reference, set the BITS Out State for BITS-1 and/or BITS-2 to IS, depending on which BITS Out pins are used for the external equipment. If equipment is not attached to the BITS output pins, set the BITS Out State to OOS.
Step 8 If the BITS Out State is set to OOS, continue with Step 9. If BITS Out State is set to IS, complete the following information:
•Coding—Choose the coding used by your BITS reference, either B8ZS (binary 8-zero substitution) or AMI (alternate mark inversion).
•Framing—Choose the framing used by your BITS reference, either ESF or SF (D4).
•AIS Threshold—If SSM is disabled or Super Frame is used, choose the quality level where a node sends an alarm indication signal (AIS) from the BITS 1 Out and BITS 2 Out MIC pins. An AIS alarm 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, choose the distance between the device and the ONS 15327. Options are: 0-133 ft. (default), 124-266 ft., 267-399 ft., 400-533 ft., and 534-655 ft. Line build out (LBO) relates to the BITS cable length.
Step 9 Click Apply.

Note After you have selected the circuit properties in the Circuit Source dialog box according to the specific circuit creation procedure, you are ready to provision the circuit source.
Step 1 From the Node drop-down list, choose the node where the source will originate.
Step 2 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the XTC card where the circuit will originate.
Step 3 From the DS-1 drop-down list, choose the source DS-1.
Step 4 If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor path protection, click Use Secondary Source and repeat Steps 1 through 3 to define the secondary source. If you do not need to create a secondary source, continue with Step 5.
Step 5 Click Next.
Step 6 From the Node drop-down list, choose the destination (termination) node.
Step 7 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the destination card. The destination is typically an XTC card. You can also choose an OC-N card to map the DS-1 to a VT1.5 for OC-N transport.
Step 8 Depending on the destination card, choose the destination port, STS, VT, or DS-1 from the drop-down lists that appear based on the card selected in Step 7. See Table 5-2 on page 5-3 for a list of valid options. CTC does not display ports, STSs, VTs, or DS-1s already used by other circuits. If you and a user working on the same network choose the same port, STS, VT, port, or DS-1 simultaneously, one of you will receive a Path in Use error and be unable to complete the circuit. The user with the incomplete circuit needs to choose new destination parameters.
Step 9 If you need to create a secondary destination, for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit exit point in a multivendor path protection, click Use Secondary Destination and repeat Steps 6 through 8 to define the secondary destination.

Step 4 If you want to change the source VT for DS-1 circuits, adjust the Source VT field; otherwise, continue with Step 5.
Note VT is gray (unavailable) for DS-3 circuits.
Step 5 Click Add Span. The span is added to the Included Spans list and the span arrow turns blue.
Step 6 If the Fully Protect Path field is checked on the Circuit Routing Preferences page, you must:
•Add two spans for all path protection or unprotected portions of the circuit route from the source to the destination.
•Add one span for all BLSR or 1+1 portions of route from the source to the destination.
•For circuits routed on path protection DRI topologies, provision the working and protect paths as well as spans between the DRI nodes.

Step 1 From the Node drop-down list, choose the node where the circuit will originate.
Step 2 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the OC-N card where the circuit originates. (If a card's capacity is fully utilized, it does not appear in the list.)
Step 3 Depending on the circuit origination card, choose the source port and/or STS from the Port and STS drop-down lists. The Port list is only available if the card has multiple ports. STSs do not appear if they are already in use by other circuits.
Note The STSs that appear depend on the card, circuit size, and protection scheme. For example, if you create an STS-3c circuit on an OC-12 card in a path protection, only four STSs are available. If you create an STS-3c circuit on an OC-12 card in a BLSR, two STSs are available because of the BLSR protection characteristics.
Step 4 If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor path protection, click Use Secondary Source and repeat Steps 1 through 3 to define the secondary source.
Step 5 Click Next.
Step 6 From the Node drop-down list, choose the destination node.
Step 7 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the OC-N card where the circuit will terminate (destination card). (If a card's capacity is fully utilized, the card does not appear in the list.)
Step 8 Depending on the card selected in Step 2, choose the destination port and/or STS from the Port and STS drop-down lists. The Port list is available only if the card has multiple ports. The STSs that appear depend on the card, circuit size, and protection scheme.
Step 9 If you need to create a secondary destination, for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor path protection, click Use Secondary Destination and repeat Steps 6 through 8 to define the secondary destination.

Figure 16-13 Manually Routing an OC-N Circuit
Step 3 If you want to change the source STS, adjust the Source STS field; otherwise, continue with the next step.
Note VT is gray for OC-N circuits.
Step 4 Click Add Span. The span is added to the Included Spans list and the span arrow turns blue.
Step 5 Repeat Steps 2 through 4 until the circuit is provisioned from the source to the destination node through all intermediary nodes. If Fully Protect Path is checked on the Circuit Routing Preferences page, you must:
•Add two spans for all path protection or unprotected portions of the circuit route from the source to the destination.
•Add one span for all BLSR or 1+1 portions of route from the source to the destination.
•Add primary spans for BLSR DRI from the source to the destination through the primary nodes, and then add spans through the secondary nodes as an alternative route. Figure 16-14 shows an example of a manually routed BLSR DRI circuit. The circuit map shows all span types: unprotected, BLSR, and protection channel access (PCA). PCA spans can only be chosen as part of the secondary path.
Figure 16-14 Manually Routing a BLSR DRI Circuit Route
Note To create a fully protected circuit from a path protection node subtended from a BLSR where the BLSR is comprised of Node 1, Node 2, and Node 3, and the path protection subtends from Node 3 to Node 4, you would create a circuit from Node 4 to Node 1 by including two spans in the circuit route from Node 4 to Node 3 (because both the working and protect path must be provisioned for the path protection portion of the circuit). You would then provision one circuit span from Node 3 to Node 1 (because the BLSR provides protection).
Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
