Ethernet Cards
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 n etwork configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any parti cular topological network configuration.
The Cisco ONS 15454 SDH integrates Ethernet into a SDH time-division multiplexing (TDM) platform.
This chapter describes the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH E-Series Ethernet cards, G-Series Ethernet cards, and
ML-Series Ethernet cards. It includes descriptions, hardware specifications, and block diagrams for each
card. For G-Series and E-Series Ethernet application information, see Chapter14, “Ethernet Operation.”
For installation and card turn-up procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide. For
ML-Series configuration information, see the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.

5.1 Ethernet Card Overview

The card overview section summarizes card functions, power consumption, and temperature rang es.
Note Each card is marked with a symbol that corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 SDH shelf
assembly. The cards are then installed into slots displaying the same symbols. See the
CiscoONS 15454 SDH Procedures Guide for a list of slots and symbols.
