Explains how connection verification uses a dedicated tone to validate cabling between the Optical Line Terminal line card and NCS1K-CCMD-16 line cards during node installation.
A connection verification method is a cabling validation process that
- checks the connection between the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) line card and NCS1K-CCMD-16 line cards,
- prevents miscabling during node installation, and
- uses a dedicated probe signal to verify connectivity.
Connection verification signal
You can use verification tasks to validate the connection between the Cisco NCS 1010 OLT line card and the NCS1K-CCMD-16 line card during installation. The dedicated Connection Verification Tunable Laser (CV-TL) on the OLT card generates a probe signal at a specific frequency and power, which the connected CCMD-16 line card detects. This process ensures that connections are correct and helps avoid errors in cabling.
