APPENDIX

Network Element Defaults

Note The terms “Unidirectional Path Switched Ring” and “UPSR” may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as “Path Protected Mesh Network” and “PPMN,” refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This appendix describes the factory-configured (default) network element (NE) settings for the
Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH. It includes descriptions of card default settings, node default settings, and
Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) default settings. For procedures for importing, exporting, and editing
the settings, refer to the “Maintain the Node” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Procedure
Guide. Cards that are not listed in this appendix are not supported by user-configurable NE defaults
settings.
To change card settings individually (that is, without directly changing the NE defaults), refer to the
“Change Port Settings” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Procedure Guide. To change node
settings, refer to the “Change Node Settings” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Procedure
Guide.

C.1 Network Element Defaults Description

The NE defaults are preinstalled on each Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH common control card. Cisco also
ships a file named 15310MA-defaults.txt for the ONS 15310-MA SDH on the CTC software CD if you
want to import the defaults onto existing common control cards. The NE defaults include card-level,
CTC-level, and node-level defaults.
Changes to card provisioning that are made manually using procedures in the “Change Card Settings”
chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Procedure Guide override default settings. If you use the CTC
Defaults editor (on the node view Provisioning > Defaults tab) or import a new defaults file, any changes
to card or port settings only affect cards that are installed or preprovisioned after the defaults have
changed.
