Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.7.112 IMPROPRMVL

Note CTC does not allow you to delete the reporting card if the card is in service, does have circuits mapped to it, is paired in a working protection scheme, has DCC enabled, or is used as a timing reference.

Step 3 If any ports on the card are in service, put them out of service (OOS,MT) by completing the following steps:

Caution Before placing a port out of service (OOS,MT or OOS,DSBLD), ensure that no live traffic is present.

a.In node view, double-click the controller card (15310-CL-CTX or CTX2500 card) to display the card view.

b.Click the Provisioning > Optical > Line tabs.

c.Click the Admin State column of any in-service (IS) ports.

d.Choose OOS,MT to take the ports out of service.

Step 4 If a circuit has been mapped to the card, complete the “Delete a Circuit” procedure on page 2-155.

Caution Before deleting the circuit, ensure that the circuit does not carry live traffic.

Step 5 If the card is paired in a protection scheme, delete the protection group by completing the following steps:

a.Click View > Go to Previous View to return to node view.

b.If you are already in node view, click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.

c.Click the protection group of the reporting card.

d.Click Delete.

Step 6 If the card is provisioned for DCC, delete the DCC provisioning by completing the following steps:

a.Click the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA Provisioning > Comm Channels > SDCC tabs.

b.Click the slots and ports listed in DCC terminations.

c.Click Delete and click Yes in the dialog box that appears.

Step 7 If the card is used as a timing reference, change the timing reference by completing the following steps:

a.Click the Provisioning > Timing > General tabs.

b.Under NE Reference, click the drop-down list for Ref-1.

c.Change Ref-1 from the listed source from Internal Clock.

d.Click Apply.

Step 8 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447) in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking and telecommunications technology, and among its impressive lineup of products, the Cisco ONS 15310 series stands out as an essential solution for optical networking. This series includes models such as the ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-CL, and ONS 15310-CA, each designed to meet the diverse needs of service providers and enterprises seeking to enhance their optical transport networks.

The Cisco ONS 15310-MA is an advanced multi-service platform designed for metropolitan area networks. It facilitates the seamless transport of data, voice, and video over optical networks. One of its main features is its ability to support a variety of interfaces, including Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), allowing users to integrate multiple services into a single platform. Additionally, the ONS 15310-MA supports advanced traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance.

The ONS 15310-CL variant is tailored for more specific applications, providing enhanced capabilities aimed at delivering carrier-grade services. It features a robust architecture that accommodates high-capacity traffic without compromising reliability. This model emphasizes low power consumption and a compact design, making it suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments. The ONS 15310-CL also supports a wide range of optical interfaces, making it highly flexible for various network configurations.

In terms of technologies, the Cisco ONS 15310 series leverages Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities, providing high efficiency and greater bandwidth utilization. OTN technology enables efficient error correction and adds resilience to the network through its built-in protection mechanisms. Furthermore, the series supports seamless integration with existing IP/MPLS networks, creating a cohesive infrastructure as organizations evolve their networking requirements.

One of the defining characteristics of the ONS 15310 series is its focus on scalability. Network operators can start with a modest deployment and gradually expand capacity as demand grows. This adaptability is complemented by Cisco's comprehensive management and monitoring tools, providing operators with real-time insights into network performance and facilitating proactive management.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15310-MA and ONS 15310-CL models represent sophisticated solutions for modern optical networks. With their versatile features, advanced technologies, and robust design, they empower service providers and enterprises to build resilient, high-capacity networks that meet the demands of today’s data-driven world.
