ML-Series cards feature two SDH virtual ports with a maximum combined bandwidth of VC4-16c. Each port carries an STM circuit with a size of VC3, VC4, VC4-2c, VC4-3c, VC4-4c, and VC4-8c. For step-by-step instructions on configuring an ML-Series card SDH STM circuit, refer to the “Create Circuits and Tunnels” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

The ML-Series packet-over-SDH (POS) ports supports virtual concatenation (VCAT) of SONET/SDH circuits and a software link capacity adjustment scheme (SW-LCAS). The ML-Series card supports a maximum of two VCAT groups with each group corresponding to one of the POS ports. Each VCAT group must be provisioned with two circuit members. An ML-Series card supports VC-3-2v, VC-4-2v and VC-4-4c-2v. For step-by-step instructions on configuring an ML-Series card SDH VCAT circuit, refer to the “Create Circuits and Tunnels” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.

5.6.1 ML100T-12 Card-Level Indicators

The ML00T-12 card supports two card-level LED indicators, described in Table 5-11.
