Slot Properties—CTX-2500

The slot properties pane displays information about the Cisco ONS 15310 MA SONET or ONS 15310 MA SDH slot that is selected in the NE Explorer tree. Use this properties pane to change the card properties.

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.

The following figure shows the CTX-2500 card faceplate.

PSC	In a 1 + 1 protection scheme for a working card, protection switching count (PSC) is a count of the number of times service switches from a working card to a protection card plus the number of times service switches back to the working card. For a protection card, PSC is a count of the number of times service switches to a working card from a protection card plus the number of times service switches back to the protection card. The PSC PM is applicable only if revertive line-level protection switching is used. PSC is supported in revertive and nonrevertive modes. Note This parameter is not supported for transponder or muxponder cards.
PSD	Protection switching duration (PSD) applies to the length of time, in seconds, that service is carried on another line. For a working line, PSD is a count of the number of seconds that service was carried on the protection line. For the protection line, it is a count of the seconds that the line was used to carry service. The PSD PM is applicable only if revertive line-level protection switching is used. PSD is supported in revertive and nonrevertive modes. Note This parameter is not supported for transponder or muxponder cards.

Slot Properties—TNC, TNCE, TNCS, and TNCS-O

(Cisco ONS 15454 M2, Cisco ONS 15454 M6, and Cisco NCS 2015)

The Transport Node Controller (TNC) and the Transport Node Controller - Enhanced (TNCE) combines the functions of multiple cards such as TCC2P, OSCM, ISC, and AIC-I. The cards support the ONS 15454 M2 and ONS 15454 M6 shelf assemblies. The TNCE card is optimized for Ethernet transport and has support for Synchronous-Ethernet (SyncE) and IEEE1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol to add support for Two-Way Time Transfer (TWTT).

The TNC and TNCE cards are provisioned as master and slave in the ONS 15454 M6 shelf, and as a stand-alone card in the ONS 15454 M2 shelf. The TNC and TNCE card serves as the processor card for the node. The TNC and TNCE cards cannot be inserted in the same shelf.

On the ONS 15454 M6 shelf, install redundant TNC and TNCE cards in slots 1 and 8. If the active TNC or TNCE card fails, system traffic switches to the redundant TNC or TNCE card respectively. The card supports line cards from slots 2 to 7.

On the ONS 15454 M2 shelf, install the stand-alone TNC or TNCE card in slot 1. The TNC and TNCE cards support line cards in slots 2 and 3.

The Transmission Network Control System (TNCS) cards can be provisioned as active and standby cards in the NCS 2015 shelf. The TNCS cards serve as the processor card for the node. The TNCS cards can be installed in slots 1 and 17 on the NCS 2015 shelf. If the active TNCS card fails, system traffic switches to the redundant TNCS card.

The NCS 2015 shelf is powered by DC power modules with 3+1, 2+2, 2+1, or 1+1 redundancy. A minimum of one power module is required to turn up the chassis. The number of power modules to be connected is dependent on the chassis load. The TNCS cards raise an alarm if one of the supply voltage inputs has a voltage out of the specified range. High Temperature Alarm is supported on NCS 2015 NE with M15.

The TNCS-O cards are provisioned as active and standby in the Cisco ONS 15454 M6 or NCS 2015 shelves. On the NCS 2015 shelf, the TNCS-O cards can be installed in slots 1 and 17. On the ONS 15454 M6 shelf, the cards can be installed in slots 1 and 8. If the active TNCS-O card fails, system traffic switches to the redundant TNCS-O card.

TNCS-O Card is developed for NCS2015 shelf and back compatible with NCS2006 or NCS2003 shelves.

A TNCS-O card is equipped with an optical module that provides two ports, both can provide standard Optical Service Channel (OSC) interfaces and the Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) measurement capability. The OTDR is available up to four ports on each shelf; a shelf can have two TNCS-O cards. At a time, each port supports either OTDR measurement capability or OSC transmission. However, an OTDR scan and OSC transmission can run in parallel on different ports. TNCS-O card includes two OTDR or OSC modules. Each module allows you to perform the OTDR functionality or the standard OSC transmission over a fiber pair.

Note OSC channel in TNCS-O support only Fast Ethernet (FE).

Note OC-3 and ONE-GE payloads are not supported by the TNCS-O card.

Note The TNCS-O cards are not interoperable with TNC or TNCE cards. TNCS-O cards are interoperable only with a TNCS or another TNCS-O card over a fiber span. However, the OTDR functionality is available only if a TNCS-O card is connected to another TNCS-O card over a fiber span

Figure C-5, Figure C-6, Figure C-7, and Figure C-8 shows the TNC faceplate and block diagram.

Note Both the TNC and TNCE cards are displayed as TNC in the NE Explorer.

Slot Properties—2.5G Multirate Transponder

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)

Prime Optical supports DVB-ASI and ISC1 payloads on TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP _MR_2.5G cards. Using these payloads, you can:

Manage L1 circuits and links with endpoints.
Manage historical PM data and alarms related to the 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.

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.

Single-channel ports equipped with VOAs for automatic optical power regulation after demultiplexing. 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.

Note In contrast, the single-slot 32DMX card does not have VOAs on each drop port for optical power regulation. The 32DMX optical demultiplexer module is used in conjunction with the 32-Channel Wavelength Selective Switch (32WSS) card in ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) nodes.

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

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.

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 following figure shows the 40-DMX-C card faceplate.

Slot Properties—32WSS

The slot properties pane displays information about the 32-channel Wavelength Selective Switch (32WSS) module that is selected in the NE Explorer tree. Use this properties pane to change the card properties.

The 32-channel Wavelength Selective Switch (32WSS) card performs channel add/drop processing within the ONS 15454 DWDM node. The 32WSS works in conjunction with the 32DMX to implement ROADM functionality. Equipped with ROADM functionality, the ONS 15454 DWDM can be configured to add or drop individual optical channels using CTC, Cisco MetroPlanner, and Prime Optical.

An ROADM NE utilizes two 32WSS cards (two slots each) and two 32DMX cards (one slot each), for a total of six slots in the chassis, as follows:

ADD RX ports (1 to 32)—Used for adding channels. Each add channel is associated with an individual switch element that selects whether an individual channel is added. Each add port has optical power regulation provided by a VOA. The 32WSS has four physical receive connectors that accept MPO cables on the card’s front panel for the client input interfaces. MPO cables break out into eight separate cables.
EXP RX port—Receives an optical signal from another 32WSS module in the same NE.
EXP TX port—Sends an optical signal to the other 32WSS module within the NE.
COM TX port—Sends an aggregate optical signal to a booster amplifier card (for example, OPT-BST) for transmission outside of the NE.
COM RX port—Receives the optical signal from a preamplifier and sends it to the optical splitter.
DROP TX port—Sends the split-off optical signal that contains drop channels to the 32DMX card, where the channels are further processed and dropped.

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

Note The 32WSS works in conjunction with the 32DMX to implement ROADM functionality.

The following figure shows the 32WSS module front panel and identifies the traffic flow through the ports.
