D.3.1 Slot Properties—ASAP_4

The Slot Properties pane displays information about the Cisco ONS 15600 SONET slot that is selected
in the NE Explorer tree. Use this properties pane to change the module performance monitoring
thresholds.
The ONS 15600 SONET Any Service Any Port (ASAP_4) card provides up to 16 optical network
interface ports, depending on the configuration.When configured for OC-192 XFP, the card provides a
maximumof fourOC-192 optical network interface ports. When the ASAP_4 card is configured with a
combination of OC-192 XFP and lower-rate plugins such as OC-48, OC-12, or OC-3, the number of
optical network interfaces is factored by four for each OC-192. For example, if the ASAP_4 card is
configured with one OC-192, the card provides a maximum of 13 optical network interfaces (one for
OC-192 and 12 for lower-rate plugins). If the ASAP_4 card is configured with two OC-192s, the card
providesa maximum of 10 optical network interfaces (two for OC-192 and 8 for lower-rate plugins). The
card can be installed in any I/O module card slot. The card provides 16 optical interfaces on the front
panel.When configured for Ethernet, an ASAP port forwards Ethernet frames by encapsulating them in
CiscoHDLC or GFP and transports them over SONET to the far-end GE port, where the unencapsulation
is performed.
Introduced in the CTM R7.2 release, the new OC-192 XFP feature adds the capability to the existing
ONS15600 ASAP card to support 10 GB Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) optics. This functionality
augments the ASAP card with an OC-192 line rate and allows the ASAP card to provide a range of
optical service rates that scale from OC-3 to OC-192.
Note The OC-192 XFP cannot be modified once it is configured.
The Slot Properties pane for the ASAP_4 card displays the following tabs: Module View, Card
Identification, Pluggable Provisioning, Line, STS, Loopback, Protection, Alarm Behavior, J1 Path
Trace, Info, Ether Line, Ether Loopback, Ether Alarm Behavior, POS Alarm Behavior, POS Line, and
Transceiver.

D.3.1.1 Module View Tab

The Module View tab displays a graphic of the transponder that is installed in the slot. The number of
critical,major, minor, and warning alarms for the module is displayed under Alarm Status. (Moving the
mouse pointer over the graphic also displays the alarm counts.)

D.3.1.2 Card Identification Tab

The Card Identification tab allows you to view and update identification information.
