12.8 OC-N Speed Upgrades
A span is the optical fiber connection between two ONS 15454 nodes. In a span (optical speed) upgrade,
the transmission rate of a span is upgraded from a lower to a higher OC-N signal but all other span
configuration attributes remain unchanged. With multiple nodes, a span upgrade is a coordinated series
of upgrades on all nodes in the ring or protection group. You can perform in-service span upgrades for
the following ONS 15454 cards:
Single-port OC-12 to four-port OC-12
Single-port OC-12 to OC-48
Single-port OC-12 to OC-192
Single-port OC-12 to MRC-12
OC-48 to OC-192
OC-48 to OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach or OC192/STM64 Any Reach
You can also perform in-service card upgrades for the following ONS 15454 cards:
Four-port OC-3 to eight-port OC-3
Single-port OC-12 to four-port OC-12
Single-port OC-12 to OC-48
Single-port OC-12 to OC-192
Single-port OC-12 to MRC-12
OC-48 to MRC-12
OC-192 to OC192-XFP
