Card Description For Additional Information...
TCC2 The Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control
(TCC2) card is the main processing center for the
ONS 15454 and provides system initialization,
provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, and
diagnostics. It has additional features including
supply voltage monitoring, support for up to 84 data
communications channel/generic communications
channel (DCC/GCC) terminations, and an on-card
lamp test.
See the “2.2 TCC2 Card” section on page 2-6.
TCC2P The Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control
Plus (TCC2P) card is the main processing center for
the ONS 15454 and provides system initialization,
provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, and
diagnostics. It also provides supply voltage
monitoring, support for up to 84 DCC/GCC
terminations, and an on-card lamp test. This card also
has Ethernet security features and 64K composite
clock building integrated timing supply (BITS)
timing.
See the “2.3 TCC2P Card” section on
page 2-10.
XCVT The Cross Connect Virtual Tributary (XCVT) card is
the central element for switching; it establishes
connections and performs time-division switching
(TDS). The XCVT can manage STS and Virtual
Tributary (VT) circuits up to 48c.
See the “2.4 XCVT Card” section on
page 2-15.
XC10G The 10 Gigabit Cross Connect (XC10G) card is the
central element for switching; it establishes
connections and performs TDS. The XC10G can
manage STS and VT circuits up to 192c. The XC10G
allows up to four times the bandwidth of XC and
XCVT cards.
See the “2.5 XC10G Card” section on
page 2-19.
XC-VXC-10G The 10 Gigabit Cross Connect Virtual
Tributary/Virtual Container (XC-VXC-10G) card
serves as the switching matrix for the Cisco 15454
ANSI multiservice platform. The module operates as
a superset of the XCVT or XC10G cross-connect
module. The XC-VXC-10G card provides a
maximum of 1152 STS-1 or 384 VC4
cross-connections and supports cards with speeds up
to 10 Gbps.
See the “2.6 XC-VXC-10G Card” section on
page 2-23.
AIC-I The Alarm Interface Card–International (AIC-I)
provides customer-defined (environmental) alarms
with its additional input/output alarm contact
closures. It also provides orderwire, user data
channels, and supply voltage monitoring.
See the “2.7 AIC-I Card” section on
page 2-28.
AEP The alarm expansion panel (AEP) board provides
48 dry alarm contacts: 32 inputs and 16 output s. It can
be used with the AIC-I card.
