DDTS # CSCdt22538

Nodes that are connected to the LAN only by the DCC do not have their time set by an SNTP server on the LAN. The time and date do not synchronize with that of the SNTP server.

This occurs with the following configuration: Node 2---(DCC)---Node 1---LAN

Node 2 does not have a LAN connection. Provision Node 2 to use an SNTP server to obtain the correct date and time. The remote node will not be able to connect to the SNTP server. The default date and time will be displayed.

There are two workarounds.

1.Set up a static route to the SNTP server. The static route must be provisioned on the node with the LAN connection. Here is an example:

Static route:

Destination: (IP address of SNTP server goes here)

Mask: 255.255.255.255

Next Hop: (IP address of LAN connected node goes here)

Cost: 2

2.Disable use of an SNTP server and set the date and time manually in CTC. An XTC protection switch will not cause the date and time to be reset, but if both XTCs are powered down simultaneously (or a simplex XTC is reset) the date and time will return to the default values.

This issue is resolved in Release 3.3.

Industrial Temperature

With Release 3.3., the ONS 15327 and its line cards are certified for Industrial Temperature (I-temp) operation. I-temp certification specifies that equipment operate in temperatures between -40 to +65 degrees C. The ONS 15327 Ethernet (E100-4) and OC48-1-IR 1310nm cards are not certified for I-temp. Each I-temp certified product indicates its certification by a “-T” in the part number.
