Describes how to configure and view OTS, OTS-OCH, OSC, DFB, OCH, and OMS controllers, including controller models, port mappings, AINS, ASE loading, headless mode, and optical channel monitoring.
There are six types of controllers for Cisco NCS 1010. The controllers are the OTS, OTS-OCH, OSC, DFB, OCH, and OMS controllers. This chapter describes the tasks that are used to configure and view these controllers.
| Controller Types |
Description |
|---|---|
| Optical Transport Section (OTS) |
The OTS controller holds all the optical parameters for the OTS optical interfaces. |
| OTS-OCH |
The OTS-OCH controller is created on the LINE side of the OLT and ILA nodes using the |
| Optical Service Channel (OSC) |
The OSC controller represents the optical layer of the OSC channel. Line ports host the OSC controller. |
| Distributed Feedback (DFB) |
The DFB controller represents the dedicated DFB laser on the line side of the OLT and ILA nodes with a RAMAN module for link continuity. The line ports host the DFB controller along with the OSC controller. |
| Optical Channel (OCH) |
By default, the OCH controllers are automatically configured when Mux/Demux panels and breakout panels are brought up. |
| Optical Multiplex Section (OMS) |
By default, the OMS controllers are automatically configured when Mux/Demux panels and breakout panels are brought up. |
ILA controller models in NCS 1010
This section lists all Cisco NCS 1010 ILA controller models and provides their port-to-controller mappings, release-specific features, and usage notes.
OLT controller models and their port mappings
This section lists all the OLT controller models available for the Cisco NCS 1010 and NCS 1020 platform. It details the mapping between physical ports and controllers for each OLT and E-OLT cards.
OTS controllers
This section explains the functions and supported platforms of OTS controllers for NCS 1010 and NCS 1020.
OTS-OCH controllers
This section explains the OTS-OCH controllers and their functions for optical transport section and optical channel configuration.
DFB controllers
This section explains the purpose, attributes, and operation of distributed feedback (DFB) controllers for RAMAN probes on the NCS 1010 platform.
OCH controllers
This section explains what OCH controllers are, their key features, and how they support optical cross-connection in NCS 1010 devices.
OMS controller
This section provides details about OMS controllers created by default for Mux/Demux and breakout panels, including supported interfaces, status and parameter commands, sample outputs, and insertion loss values for supported patch panels.
OSC controllers
This section explains how OSC controllers provide communication, monitoring, and management functions within optical networks.
AINS
This section explains how Automatic-In-Service (AINS) moves OTS, OMS, and OCH controllers into service after bootup, how soak time works, and how alarms are handled during the maintenance window.
Headless mode
This section explains the headless operation mode for Cisco NCS 1010 and its impact on system availability and management.
ASE loading
This section explains how ASE loads are used to stabilize optical transmission systems by filling the spectrum when channels are unavailable.
Optical channel monitoring
This section explains how ASE loads are used to stabilize optical transmission systems by filling the spectrum when channels are unavailable.
Automatic-In-Service (AINS) state
This section explains how the Automatic-In-Service (AINS) state manages controller transitions and alarm reporting during system bootup and soak periods in NCS 1010.
