The NE Explorer for the ONS 15216 displays information about the selected ONS 15216 NE. ONS 15216 NEs are grouped as active NEs or passive NEs. Passive NEs do not have a management interface, so there is no communication between Prime Optical 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.

Timing

The Timing allows you to view the timing information and contains the following tabs:

General Tab

The General tab displays general timing information.

Table B-61 Field Descriptions for the General Tab
Field	Description
General Timing
Timing Mode	Set the node timing mode: External—The ONS 15310 CL 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. Use this mode with care.
SSM Message Set	Choose the synchronization status message (SSM) set level supported by your network. SSM is an 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 is mapped down to the next available Generation 1 node. For example, an ST3E message becomes an ST3.
Revertive	If checked, the ONS 15310 CL 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.

Facility Tab

The Facility tab displays the facility type, and BITS IN and OUT information.

Note BITS IN Facilities and BITS OUT Facilities values apply to both BITS-1 and BITS-2.

Table B-62 Field Descriptions for the Facility Tab
Field	Description
BITS-IN-OUT Facility Type
In Facility Type	Provisions the BITS In facility type.
Out Facility Type	Provisions the BITS Out facility type.
BITS IN Facilities
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 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.
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.)
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 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.
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 CL. Options are 0-133 ft (Cisco default), 134-266 ft, 267-399 ft, 400-533 ft, and 534-655 ft.

Reference List Tab

The Reference List tab provides timing reference information.

Table B-63 Field Descriptions for the Reference List Tab
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 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. Note For Timing Mode set to External and Timing Mode set to Line, 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	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, and Ref-3) 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.

Status Tab

The Status tab provides timing status information.

Note If you change any values in the Status tab and click Apply at the bottom of the screen, the values are not set. Instead, use the following buttons to apply changes:

Clear—Releases any existing switch request. For example, if you issue a Force Switch and then issue a Clear, the Force Switch request is released.
Manual Switch—Switches the timing reference from one source to another.
Force Switch—Switches the timing reference from one source to another. This request has a higher priority than the Manual Switch request.

OSI

Note The OSI tab is supported only for the ONS 15310 CL R6.0 and later.

The OSI tab allows you to provision ONS 15310 CL Open System Interconnection (OSI) parameters and contains the following tabs:

Main Setup Tab

The Main Setup tab allows you to provision the OSI Network Entity Title (NET) address and the OSI routing mode.

Table B-76 Field Descriptions for the Main Setup Tab
Field	Description
Main Network Entity Title	Displays the node NET. The NET is used in OSI networks to identify the node to the end system (ES) or intermediate system (IS).
End System	Provisions the node as an OSI end system (ES). ESs send end system hello (ESH) messages regularly to announce their presence to neighboring ISs and ESs. For the ONS 15310 CL, End System is the Cisco default.
Intermediate System Level 1	Provisions the node as an OSI intermediate system (IS). ISs send intermediate system hello (ISH) messages regularly to announce their presence to neighboring ISs and ESs.
Intermediate System Level 1/Level 2	The ONS 15310 CL performs all IS functions. It communicates with other IS and ES nodes within an OSI area and broadcasts ISHs to IS nodes in other areas to which it is connected.
Node Routing Mode
L1 LSP Buffer Size	Sets the Level 1 Link State Protocol (LSP) data unit buffer size. The Cisco default is 512.
L2 LSP Buffer Size	Sets the Level 2 LSP data unit buffer size. The Cisco default is 512.

TARP-Config Tab

The TARP-Config tab allows you to provision the TID Address Resolution Protocol (TARP). TARP is used when TL1 TIDs must be translated to an NSAP address. During the TID-to-NSAP translation, the TID is mapped to a NET; then, the NSAP is derived from the NET based on the NSAP selector value.

Table B-77 Field Descriptions for the TARP-Config Tab
Field	Description
TARP PDUs L1 Propagation	If checked (default), TARP Type 1 PDUs received by the node that are not excluded by the loop detection buffer are propagated to other NEs within the OSI Level 1 area. Type 1 PDUs request a protocol address that matches a target TID within a Level 1 routing area. The propagation does not occur if the NE is the target of the Type 1 PDU and the PDUs are not propagated to the NE from which the PDU was received. Note This parameter is not used when the node is set to End System.
TARP PDUs Origination	If checked (default), the node performs all TARP configuration functions, including: TID-to-NSAP resolution requests NSAP-to-TID requests TARP address changes Note TARP Echo and NSAP to TID are not supported.
L2 TARP Data Cache	If checked (default), the TIDs and NSAPs are added to the TDC before the node propagates the requests to other NEs. Note This parameter is designed for IS Level 1/Level 2 nodes that are connected to other IS Level 1/Level 2 nodes. Enabling the parameter for IS Level 1 nodes is not recommended.
LAN TARP Storm Suppression	If checked (default), enables the TARP storm suppression to prevent redundant TARP PDUs from being propagated across the network.
Type 4 PDU Delay	Sets the amount of time that will pass before the Type 4 PDU is generated. The Cisco default value is 60 seconds; the range is from 0 to 255 seconds.
TARP PDUs L2 Propagation	If checked (default), TARP Type 2 PDUs received by the node that are not excluded by the loop detection buffer are propagated to other NEs within the OSI Level 2 area. Type 2 PDUs request a protocol address that matches a target TID within a Level 2 routing area. The propagation occurs if the NE is the target of the Type 2 PDU and the PDUs are not propagated to the NE from which the PDU was received.
L1 TARP Data Cache	If checked, the node maintains a TARP data cache (TDC). The TDC is a database of TID-to-NSAP pairs created from TARP Type 3 PDUs received by the node. TARP Type 3 PDUs are responses to Type 1 and Type 2 PDUs and modified by TARP Type 4 PDUs (TID-to-NSAP updates or corrections).
LDB	If checked, enables the TARP loop detection buffer (LDB). The LDB prevents TARP PDUs from being sent more than once on the same subnet.
Send Type 4 PDU on Startup	If checked, a TARP Type 4 PDU is originated during the initial ONS 15310 CL startup. Type 4 PDUs indicate that a TID or NSAP change has occurred at the NE. This option is disabled by default.
Timers
LDB Entry	Sets the TARP LDB timer. The LDB buffer time is assigned to each LDB entry for which the TARP sequence number is zero. The Cisco default is 5 minutes; the range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
T1 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for response to a Type 1 Request PDU. Type 1 requests seek a specific NE TID within an OSI Level 1 area. The Cisco default is 15 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.
T3 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for an address resolution request. The Cisco default is 40 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.
LDB Flush	Sets the frequency period for flushing the LDB. The Cisco default is 5 minutes; the range is from 0 to 1440 minutes.
T2 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for a Type 2 Request PDU. TARP Type 2 requests seek a specific NE TID within an OSI Level 1 area. The Cisco default is 25 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.
T4 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for an error recovery. The timer begins after the T2 timer expires without successfully finding the NE TID. The Cisco default is 20 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.

TARP-TDC Tab

The TARP-TDC tab allows you to view and manage the TARP data cache (TDC). The TDC facilitates TARP processing by storing a list of TID to NSAP mappings.

ONS 15310 MA SONET NE Explorer

When you choose Configuration > NE Explorer for the ONS 15310 MA SONET, the window that Prime Optical displays consists of a tree on the left side and a properties pane on the right. The tree provides a hierarchical view and alarm status of the NEs physical shelves and slots. The tab shows information about the selected entity. See Node Properties Pane—ONS 15310 MA SONET for more information.

Note If CTC is launched from the web browser for an ONS 15310 MA SONET node, the CTC GUI might look different from when it is launched from Prime Optical. This discrepancy occurs because the latest version of CTC (for NE releases supported by Prime Optical) is packaged with Prime Optical. If launched from a browser, the CTC software is retrieved from the NE itself, which might be a version different from that packaged with Prime Optical.

Timing

The Timing allows you to view the timing information and contains the following tabs:

General Tab

The General tab displays general timing information.

Table B-101 Field Descriptions for the General Tab
Field	Description
General Timing
Timing Mode	Set the node timing mode: External—The ONS 15310 MA SONET 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. Use this mode with care.
SSM Message Set	Choose the synchronization status message (SSM) set level supported by your network. SSM is an 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 is mapped down to the next available Generation 1 node. For example, an ST3E message becomes an ST3.
Revertive	If checked, the ONS 15310 MA SONET 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.

Facility Tab

The Facility tab displays the facility type, and BITS IN and OUT information.

Note BITS IN Facilities and BITS OUT Facilities values apply to both BITS-1 and BITS-2.

Table B-102 Field Descriptions for the Facility Tab
Field	Description
BITS-IN-OUT Facility Type
In Facility Type	Provisions the BITS In facility type.
Out Facility Type	Provisions the BITS Out facility type.
BITS IN Facilities
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 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.
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.)
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 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.
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 CL. Options are 0-133 ft (Cisco default), 134-266 ft, 267-399 ft, 400-533 ft, and 534-655 ft.

Reference List Tab

The Reference List tab provides timing reference information.

Table B-103 Field Descriptions for the Reference List Tab
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 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. Note For Timing Mode set to External and Timing Mode set to Line, 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	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, and Ref-3) 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.
BITS-2 Out References	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, and Ref-3) 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.

Status Tab

The Status tab provides timing status information.

Note If you change any values in the Status tab and click Apply at the bottom of the screen, the values are not set. Instead, use the following buttons to apply changes:

Clear—Releases any existing switch request. For example, if you issue a Force Switch and then issue a Clear, the Force Switch request is released.

Main Setup Tab

The Main Setup tab allows you to provision the OSI Network Entity Title (NET) address and the OSI routing mode.

Table B-116 Field Descriptions for the Main Setup Tab
Field	Description
Main Network Entity Title	Displays the node NET. The NET is used in OSI networks to identify the node to the end system (ES) or intermediate system (IS).
End System	Provisions the node as an OSI end system (ES). ESs send end system hello (ESH) messages regularly to announce their presence to neighboring ISs and ESs. For the ONS 15310 MA SONET, End System is the Cisco default.
Intermediate System Level 1	Provisions the node as an OSI intermediate system (IS). ISs send intermediate system hello (ISH) messages regularly to announce their presence to neighboring ISs and ESs.
Intermediate System Level 1/Level 2	The ONS 15310 MA SONET performs all IS functions. It communicates with other IS and ES nodes within an OSI area and broadcasts ISHs to IS nodes in other areas to which it is connected.
Node Routing Mode
L1 LSP Buffer Size	Sets the Level 1 Link State Protocol (LSP) data unit buffer size. The Cisco default is 512.
L2 LSP Buffer Size	Sets the Level 2 LSP data unit buffer size. The Cisco default is 512.

TARP-Config Tab

Table B-117 Field Descriptions for the TARP-Config Tab
Field	Description
TARP PDUs L1 Propagation	If checked (default), TARP Type 1 PDUs received by the node that are not excluded by the loop detection buffer are propagated to other NEs within the OSI Level 1 area. Type 1 PDUs request a protocol address that matches a target TID within a Level 1 routing area. The propagation does not occur if the NE is the target of the Type 1 PDU and the PDUs are not propagated to the NE from which the PDU was received. Note This parameter is not used when the node is set to End System.
TARP PDUs Origination	If checked (default), the node performs all TARP configuration functions, including: TID-to-NSAP resolution requests NSAP-to-TID requests TARP address changes Note TARP Echo and NSAP to TID are not supported.
L2 TARP Data Cache	If checked (default), the TIDs and NSAPs are added to the TDC before the node propagates the requests to other NEs. Note This parameter is designed for IS Level 1/Level 2 nodes that are connected to other IS Level 1/Level 2 nodes. Enabling the parameter for IS Level 1 nodes is not recommended.
LAN TARP Storm Suppression	If checked (default), enables the TARP storm suppression to prevent redundant TARP PDUs from being propagated across the network.
Type 4 PDU Delay	Sets the amount of time that will pass before the Type 4 PDU is generated. The Cisco default value is 60 seconds; the range is from 0 to 255 seconds.
TARP PDUs L2 Propagation	If checked (default), TARP Type 2 PDUs received by the node that are not excluded by the loop detection buffer are propagated to other NEs within the OSI Level 2 area. Type 2 PDUs request a protocol address that matches a target TID within a Level 2 routing area. The propagation occurs if the NE is the target of the Type 2 PDU and the PDUs are not propagated to the NE from which the PDU was received.
L1 TARP Data Cache	If checked, the node maintains a TARP data cache (TDC). The TDC is a database of TID-to-NSAP pairs created from TARP Type 3 PDUs received by the node. TARP Type 3 PDUs are responses to Type 1 and Type 2 PDUs and modified by TARP Type 4 PDUs (TID-to-NSAP updates or corrections).

ONS 15310 MA SDH NE Explorer

When you choose Configuration > NE Explorer for the ONS 15310 MA SDH, the window that Prime Optical displays consists of a tree on the left side and a properties pane on the right. The tree provides a hierarchical view and alarm status of the NEs physical shelves and slots. The properties pane shows information about the selected entity. See Node Properties Pane—ONS 15310 MA SDH for more information.

Note If CTC is launched from the web browser for an ONS 15310 MA SDH node, the CTC GUI might look different from when it is launched from Prime Optical. This discrepancy occurs because the latest version of CTC (for NE releases supported by Prime Optical) is packaged with Prime Optical. If launched from a browser, the CTC software is retrieved from the NE itself, which might be a version different from that packaged with Prime Optical.

When an NE Explorer is in autorefresh mode, all entity values that you are editing are automatically refreshed. To enable autorefresh, click the Refresh Data button in the NE Explorer.

Unlocked-disabled—The NE is not operational because of an autonomous event. Locked-disabled—The NE is not operational because of an autonomous event; it has also been manually removed from service. Locked-enabled—The NE has been manually removed from service. The following are valid secondary states: AutomaticInService—Transitioning to the Unlocked-enabled service state is delayed. The transition to Unlocked-enabled state depends on correction of conditions, or on a soak timer. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried. Raised fault conditions, whether or not their alarms are reported, can be retrieved by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command. Disabled—The NE has been manually removed from service and does not provide its provisioned functions. All services are disrupted; the entity is unable to carry traffic. Failed—The NE has a raised alarm or condition. Loopback—The NE is in loopback mode. MismatchOfEquipment—An improper card is installed, a cross-connect card does not support an installed card, or an incompatible backplane is installed. For example, an installed card is not compatible with the card preprovisioning or the slot. This secondary state applies only to cards. Maintenance—The NE has been manually removed from service for a maintenance activity but still performs its provisioned functions. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried. You can use the TL1 RTRV-COND command to retrieve raised fault conditions even if alarms have not been reported. OutOfGroup—The virtual concatenation (VCAT) member cross-connect is not used to carry VCAT group traffic. This state is used to put a member circuit out of the group and to stop sending traffic. Locked-enabled,outOfGroup applies only to the cross-connects on an end node where VCAT resides. The cross-connects on intermediate nodes are in the Locked-enabled,maintenance service state. SoftwareDownload—A card is involved in a software download. This secondary state applies only to cards. Unassigned—A card is not provisioned in the database. This secondary state applies only to cards. NotInstalled—A card is not physically present (that is, the slot is empty). This secondary state applies only to cards. Note If the NE release does not support the Service state, this field shows N/A.

Timing

The Timing allows you to view the timing information and contains the following tabs:

General Tab

The General tab displays general timing information.

Table B-145 Field Descriptions for the General Tab
Field	Description
General Timing
Timing Mode	Set to External if the ONS 15310 MA 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. Use this mode with care.
Revertive	If checked, the ONS 15310 MA 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.

Facility Tab

The Facility tab displays the facility type, and BITS IN and OUT information.

Note BITS IN Facilities and BITS OUT Facilities values apply to both BITS-1 and BITS-2.

In Facility Type	Provisions the BITS In facility type.
Out Facility Type	Provisions the BITS Out facility type.
BITS IN Facilities
In State	Set the BITS reference to Locked or Unlocked. For nodes set to Line timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set the state to Locked. For nodes using External timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set the state to Unlocked.
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 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.
Cable Type	Type of cable. Values are 75 ohm or 120 ohm.
BITS OUT Facilities
Out State	Set the BITS reference to Locked or Unlocked. For nodes set to Line timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set the state to Locked. For nodes using External timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set the state to Unlocked.
Coding	Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either AMI or HDB3.
Framing	Set to the framing used by your BITS reference. Valid values are: Unframed FAS FAS+CRC FAS+CAS FAS+CAS+CRC
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.
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.
Cable Type	Type of cable. Values are 75 ohm or 120 ohm.

Reference List Tab

The Reference List tab provides timing reference information.

Table B-147 Field Descriptions for the Reference List Tab
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. Note For Timing Mode set to External and Timing Mode set to Line, 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	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, and Ref-3) 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	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, and Ref-3) 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.

Field	Description
Main Network Entity Title	Displays the node NET. The NET is used in OSI networks to identify the node to the end system (ES) or intermediate system (IS).
End System	Provisions the node as an OSI end system (ES). ESs send end system hello (ESH) messages regularly to announce their presence to neighboring ISs and ESs. For the ONS 15310 MA SDH, End System is the Cisco default.
Intermediate System Level 1	Provisions the node as an OSI intermediate system (IS). ISs send intermediate system hello (ISH) messages regularly to announce their presence to neighboring ISs and ESs.
Node Routing Mode
L1 LSP Buffer Size	Sets the Level 1 Link State Protocol (LSP) data unit buffer size. The Cisco default is 512.
L2 LSP Buffer Size	Sets the Level 2 LSP data unit buffer size. The Cisco default is 512.

TARP-Config Tab

Table B-161 Field Descriptions for the TARP-Config Tab
Field	Description
TARP PDUs L1 Propagation	If checked (default), TARP Type 1 PDUs received by the node that are not excluded by the loop detection buffer are propagated to other NEs within the OSI Level 1 area. Type 1 PDUs request a protocol address that matches a target TID within a Level 1 routing area. The propagation does not occur if the NE is the target of the Type 1 PDU and the PDUs are not propagated to the NE from which the PDU was received. Note This parameter is not used when the node is set to End System.
TARP PDUs Origination	If checked (default), the node performs all TARP configuration functions, including: TID-to-NSAP resolution requests NSAP-to-TID requests TARP address changes Note TARP Echo and NSAP to TID are not supported.
L2 TARP Data Cache	If checked (default), the TIDs and NSAPs are added to the TDC before the node propagates the requests to other NEs. Note This parameter is designed for IS Level 1/Level 2 nodes that are connected to other IS Level 1/Level 2 nodes. Enabling the parameter for IS Level 1 nodes is not recommended.
LAN TARP Storm Suppression	If checked (default), enables the TARP storm suppression to prevent redundant TARP PDUs from being propagated across the network.
Type 4 PDU Delay	Sets the amount of time that will pass before the Type 4 PDU is generated. The Cisco default value is 60 seconds; the range is from 0 to 255 seconds.
TARP PDUs L2 Propagation	If checked (default), TARP Type 2 PDUs received by the node that are not excluded by the loop detection buffer are propagated to other NEs within the OSI Level 2 area. Type 2 PDUs request a protocol address that matches a target TID within a Level 2 routing area. The propagation occurs if the NE is the target of the Type 2 PDU and the PDUs are not propagated to the NE from which the PDU was received.
L1 TARP Data Cache	If checked, the node maintains a TARP data cache (TDC). The TDC is a database of TID-to-NSAP pairs created from TARP Type 3 PDUs received by the node. TARP Type 3 PDUs are responses to Type 1 and Type 2 PDUs and modified by TARP Type 4 PDUs (TID-to-NSAP updates or corrections).
LDB	If checked, enables the TARP loop detection buffer (LDB). The LDB prevents TARP PDUs from being sent more than once on the same subnet.
Send Type 4 PDU on Startup	If checked, a TARP Type 4 PDU is originated during the initial ONS 15310 MA SDH startup. Type 4 PDUs indicate that a TID or NSAP change has occurred at the NE. This option is disabled by default.
Timers
LDB Entry	Sets the TARP LDB timer. The LDB buffer time is assigned to each LDB entry for which the TARP sequence number is zero. The Cisco default is 5 minutes; the range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
T1 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for response to a Type 1 Request PDU. Type 1 requests seek a specific NE TID within an OSI Level 1 area. The Cisco default is 15 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.
T3 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for an address resolution request. The Cisco default is 40 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.
LDB Flush	Sets the frequency period for flushing the LDB. The Cisco default is 5 minutes; the range is from 0 to 1440 minutes.
T2 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for a Type 2 Request PDU. TARP Type 2 requests seek a specific NE TID within an OSI Level 1 area. The Cisco default is 25 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.
T4 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for an error recovery. The timer begins after the T2 timer expires without successfully finding the NE TID. The Cisco default is 20 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.

TARP-TDC Tab

The TARP-TDC tab allows you to view and manage the TARP data cache (TDC). The TDC facilitates TARP processing by storing a list of TID to NSAP mappings.

ONS 15327 NE Explorer

When you choose Configuration > NE Explorer for the ONS 15327, the window that Prime Optical displays consists of a tree on the left side and a properties pane on the right. The tree provides a hierarchical view and alarm status of the NEs physical shelves and slots. The properties pane shows information about the selected entity. See Node Properties Pane—ONS 15327 for more information.

Note If CTC is launched from the web browser for an ONS 15327 node, the CTC GUI might look different from when it is launched from Prime Optical. This discrepancy occurs because the latest version of CTC (for NE releases supported by Prime Optical) is packaged with Prime Optical. If launched from a browser, the CTC software is retrieved from the NE itself, which might be a version different from that packaged with Prime Optical.

Node Properties Pane—ONS 15327

The node properties pane displays information about the ONS 15327 NE and contains the following tabs, some of which apply only to a specific NE version:

Shelf View

The Shelf View tab displays a graphic of the ONS 15327 that is selected in the NE Explorer tree. Moving the mouse pointer over the graphic of the NE, its shelves, slots, or cards displays the current alarms for the highlighted item. Double-clicking a slot or card displays the slot or card in the tab. The right-click menu allows you to reset, delete, or change the card. For unprovisioned slots, the right-click menu allows you to add a card.

Timing

The Timing allows you to view the timing information and contains the following tabs:

General Tab

The General tab displays general timing information.

Table B-187 Field Descriptions for the General Tab
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. Use this mode with care.
SSM Message Set	Choose the SSM set level supported by your network. SSM is an 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 is mapped down to the next available Generation 1 node. 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.

Facility Tab

The Facility tab displays the facility type, and BITS IN and OUT information.

Note BITS IN Facilities and BITS OUT Facilities values apply to both BITS-1 and BITS-2.

Table B-188 Field Descriptions for the Facility Tab
Field	Description
BITS-IN-OUT Facility Type
In Facility Type	Provisions 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 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 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.
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 (Cisco default), 134-266 ft, 267-399 ft, 400-533 ft, and 534-655 ft.

Reference List Tab

The Reference List tab provides timing reference information.

Table B-189 Field Descriptions for the Reference List Tab
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. Note For Timing Mode set to External and Timing Mode set to Line, 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	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, and Ref-3) 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	Allows you to define three timing references (Ref-1, Ref-2, and Ref-3) 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.

TARP PDUs L1 Propagation	If checked (default), TARP Type 1 PDUs received by the node that are not excluded by the loop detection buffer are propagated to other NEs within the OSI Level 1 area. Type 1 PDUs request a protocol address that matches a target TID within a Level 1 routing area. The propagation does not occur if the NE is the target of the Type 1 PDU and the PDUs are not propagated to the NE from which the PDU was received. Note This parameter is not used when the node is set to End System.
TARP PDUs Origination	If checked (default), the node performs all TARP configuration functions, including: TID-to-NSAP resolution requests NSAP-to-TID requests TARP address changes Note TARP Echo and NSAP to TID are not supported.
L2 TARP Data Cache	If checked (default), the TIDs and NSAPs are added to the TDC before the node propagates the requests to other NEs. Note This parameter is designed for IS Level 1/Level 2 nodes that are connected to other IS Level 1/Level 2 nodes. Enabling the parameter for IS Level 1 nodes is not recommended.
MAT 2	Lists the static manual area table entries.
LAN TARP Storm Suppression	If checked (default), enables the TARP storm suppression to prevent redundant TARP PDUs from being propagated across the network.
Type 4 PDU Delay	Sets the amount of time that will pass before the Type 4 PDU is generated. The Cisco default value is 60 seconds; the range is from 0 to 255 seconds.
TARP PDUs L2 Propagation	If checked (default), TARP Type 2 PDUs received by the node that are not excluded by the loop detection buffer are propagated to other NEs within the OSI Level 2 area. Type 2 PDUs request a protocol address that matches a target TID within a Level 2 routing area. The propagation occurs if the NE is the target of the Type 2 PDU and the PDUs are not propagated to the NE from which the PDU was received.
L1 TARP Data Cache	If checked, the node maintains a TARP data cache (TDC). The TDC is a database of TID-to-NSAP pairs created from TARP Type 3 PDUs received by the node. TARP Type 3 PDUs are responses to Type 1 and Type 2 PDUs and modified by TARP Type 4 PDUs (TID-to-NSAP updates or corrections).
MAT 1	Lists the static manual area table entries.
LDB	If checked, enables the TARP loop detection buffer (LDB). The LDB prevents TARP PDUs from being sent more than once on the same subnet.
Send Type 4 PDU on Startup	If checked, a TARP Type 4 PDU is originated during the initial ONS 15327 startup. Type 4 PDUs indicate that a TID or NSAP change has occurred at the NE. This option is disabled by default.
Timers
LDB Entry	Sets the TARP LDB timer. The LDB buffer time is assigned to each LDB entry for which the TARP sequence number is zero. The Cisco default is 5 minutes; the range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
T1 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for response to a Type 1 Request PDU. Type 1 requests seek a specific NE TID within an OSI Level 1 area. The Cisco default is 15 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.
T3 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for an address resolution request. The Cisco default is 40 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.
LDB Flush	Sets the frequency period for flushing the LDB. The Cisco default is 5 minutes; the range is from 0 to 1440 minutes.
T2 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for a Type 2 Request PDU. TARP Type 2 requests seek a specific NE TID within an OSI Level 1 area. The Cisco default is 25 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.
T4 Timer	Sets the amount of time to wait for an error recovery. The timer begins after the T2 timer expires without successfully finding the NE TID. The Cisco default is 20 seconds; the range is from 0 to 3600 seconds.

TARP-TDC Tab

Use NTP/SNTP Server	If checked, CTC uses an SNTP server to set the date and time of the node. Using an SNTP server ensures that all ONS 15454 network nodes use the same date and time reference. The server synchronizes the node’s time after power outages or software upgrades. If you check the Use NTP/SNTP Server check box, enter the server’s IP address in the next field. If you do not use an SNTP server, complete the Time and Time Zone fields. The ONS 15454 will use these fields for alarm dates and times.
