7.2 Provisioning Electrical Cards
The ONS 15454 electrical cards (DS1-14, DS1N-14, DS3-12, DS3N - 12, D S3E 1-12, D S3E N-12 ,
DS3XM-6, and EC1-12) are pre-provisioned with settings that you can modify to manage transmission
quality. When you open a card in CTC and select the Provisioning tab, the following subtabs are
commonly displayed:
•Line—Sets line setup parameters, such as line coding and line length. This is also where you put
ports in and out of service.
•Line Threshold—Sets the line-level PM thresholds.
•Elect Path Threshold—Sets the path-level PM thresholds for electrical (DS-3/DS-1) traffic.
•SONET Threshold—Sets the path-level PM thresholds for (STS/VT1.5) traffic.
•Alarming—Sets alarm profiles for individual ports and suppresses alarms. See Chapter 1 0, “Alarm
Monitoring and Management,” for information about alarm profiles and alarm suppression.
Table 7 -1 provides an overview of DS-1, DS-3, DS3E, and DS3X M parameters (an X means the item is
available for the card). EC1-12 card parameters are shown in Table 7-6 on p age 7-15.
