TL1 tunnel specifications and general capabilities include:

Each tunnel generally supports between six to eight ENEs, depending on the number of tunnels at the ENE.

Each CTC session can support up to 32 tunnels.

The TL1 tunnel database is stored locally in the CTC Preferences file.

Automatic tunnel reconnection when the tunnel goes down.

Each ONS NE can support at least 16 concurrent tunnels.

4.8Common Control Card Reset

You can reset the common control card for the ONS 15310-MA SDH (the 15310E-CTX-K9 card) by using the hard-reset or soft-reset commands in CTC. A soft reset reboots the 15310E-CTX-K9 card and reloads the operating system and the application software. A hard reset temporarily removes power from the 15310E-CTX-K9 card and clears all buffer memory. Before you hard-reset a card, put the card in standby mode by completing a soft-reset.

From the node view, select a card and right-click to open a menu with the hard-reset and soft-reset commands. Soft resets do not impact traffic, but hard resets are service affecting. A card must be in the Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance (locked-enabled,maintenance) service state before you can perform a hard reset.

4.9 Traffic Card Reset

You can reset the CE-100T-8, ML-100T-8, E1_21_E3_DS3_3, and E1_63_E3_DS3_3 cards by using the hard-reset or soft-reset commands in CTC. A soft reset reboots the card and reloads the operating system and the application software. A hard reset temporarily removes power from the card and clears all buffer memory.

15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
