Change Card Settings

This chapter explains how to change transmission settings on cards in a Cisco ONS 15600.

Before You Begin

As necessary, complete the “NTP-E57 Document Existing Provisioning” procedure on page 7-2.

Before performing the following procedures, investigate all alarms and clear any trouble conditions. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide as necessary.

This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).

1.NTP-E157 Provision a Multirate PPM, page 11-2—Complete this procedure to provision a multirate pluggable port module (PPM), for the ASAP card. If a multirate PPM was preprovisioned, this procedure is unnecessary.

2.NTP-E151 Provision an Optical Line Rate, page 11-3—Complete this procedure to provision the optical line rate on a multirate PPM for the ASAP card. Single-rate PPMs do not need to be provisioned.

3.NTP-E150 Change the Optical Line Rate, page 11-4—As needed, complete this procedure to edit optical line rates for multirate PPMs on the ASAP card.

4.NTP-E149 Delete Pluggable Port Modules, page 11-5—As needed, complete this procedure to delete PPMs for the ASAP card.

5.NTP-E66 Modify Line and Status Thresholds for Optical Ports, page 11-6—As needed, complete this procedure to change line (drop) and threshold settings for all OC-N cards.

6.NTP-E105 Change an Optical Port to SDH, page 11-12—As needed, complete this procedure to change an optical port from SONET to SDH.

7.NTP-E125 Change Card Service State, page 11-13—As needed, complete this procedure to change card service state.

ONS 15600 specifications

Cisco Systems ONS 15600 is a highly versatile optical networking platform designed to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data services. This multiservice edge platform supports various transmission mediums and offers a wide array of features that enable efficient data transport. Ideal for service providers and large enterprises, the ONS 15600 is engineered to provide scalable and reliable optical transport solutions.

One of the notable features of the ONS 15600 is its capability to support multiple protocols, including SONET/SDH, Ethernet, OTN, and legacy TDM services. This flexibility allows users to tailor their networks according to specific service requirements while ensuring interoperability with existing infrastructure. The platform is designed to facilitate seamless service migration, accommodating both legacy and next-generation services.

The modular architecture of the ONS 15600 enhances its scalability. It allows for easy expansion by incorporating additional line cards or interface modules without requiring significant downtime. This modularity ensures that service providers can evolve their networks over time, responding to increasing bandwidth demands and new service offerings with ease.

Incorporating advanced technologies, the ONS 15600 employs Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), significantly increasing the capacity of fiber networks by allowing multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single optical fiber. This capability helps to optimize fiber utilization and reduce operational costs. In addition, the platform supports Optical Transport Network (OTN) for improved error detection and correction, contributing to higher reliability and performance.

Another key characteristic of the ONS 15600 is its robust management capabilities. The platform can be managed through Cisco's Optical Networking Manager (ONM), providing a centralized interface for network configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. This enhances operational efficiency and minimizes downtime, allowing service providers to focus on delivering quality services to their customers.

The ONS 15600 also prioritizes security, offering various features like encryption and access control to safeguard sensitive data during transmission. With its combination of scalability, flexibility, and security, the Cisco ONS 15600 stands out as a reliable choice for organizations looking to enhance their optical networking capabilities while meeting the evolving demands of the digital landscape. Its commitment to quality and performance makes it a cornerstone of modern optical networks.
