Note After you have selected the circuit properties in the Circuit Source dialog box according to the specific circuit creation procedure, you are ready to provision the circuit source.

Step 1 From the Node drop-down list, choose the node where the source will originate.

Step 2 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the DS-3 card where the circuit will originate. If you are configuring a DS-3 circuit with a transmux card, choose the DS3XM-6 or DS3XM-12 card.

Step 3 From the Port drop-down list, choose the source DS-3, DS3/EC1-48, DS3XM-6, or DS3XM-12 card as appropriate.

Step 4 If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor. bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor., click Use Secondary Source and repeat Steps 1 through 3 to define the secondary source. If you do not need to create a secondary source, continue with Step 5.

Step 5 Click Next.

Step 6 From the Node drop-down list, choose the destination (termination) node.

Step 7 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the destination card. The destination is typically

aDS3XM-6 or DS-3 card. You can also choose an OC-N card to map the DS-3 circuit to a synchronous transport signal (STS).

Step 8 Depending on the destination card, choose the destination port or STS from the drop-down lists that appear based on the card selected in Step 2. See Table 6-2 on page 6-3for a list of valid options. Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) does not display ports, STSs, Virtual Tributaries (VTs), or DS3s if they are already in use by other circuits. If you and another user who is working on the same network choose the same port, STS, VT, port, or DS3 simultaneously, one of you receives a Path in Use error and is unable to complete the circuit. The user with the partial circuit needs to choose new destination parameters.

Step 9 If you need to create a secondary destination, for example, a If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor. bridge/selector circuit exit point in a multivendor If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor., click Use Secondary Destination and repeat Steps 6 through 8 to define the secondary destination.

Step 10 Click Next.

Step 11 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

ONS 15454 specifications

Cisco Systems ONS 15454 is a versatile optical networking platform designed to enable service providers and enterprises to deploy and manage robust optical networks efficiently. The ONS 15454 serves as a cornerstone in the evolution of transport networks, featuring various technologies that meet the increasing demand for bandwidth and service quality.

One of the standout features of the ONS 15454 is its support for multiple service types, including TDM, Ethernet, and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). This capability allows service providers to maximize network resources while delivering a wide range of services, from traditional voice to high-speed data and video.

The ONS 15454 leverages Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, enabling the transmission of multiple data streams over a single optical fiber. This effectively expands the network's capacity without the need for additional infrastructure, a crucial benefit in today's ever-growing data landscape. The system supports a variety of transponder modules, allowing for flexible scaling and seamless upgrades as bandwidth requirements increase.

Scalability is another key characteristic of the ONS 15454. With its modular architecture, it accommodates a range of interfaces and line cards, making it easier to tailor deployments to specific customer needs. This modularity not only facilitates upgrades but also simplifies maintenance, minimizing downtime and operational costs.

The platform also features advanced management capabilities through Cisco's Optical Network Management system. This allows for real-time monitoring, provisioning, and troubleshooting, ensuring network reliability and performance. The intuitive interface and comprehensive reporting tools enable operators to gain insights into network operations, improving decision-making processes.

Furthermore, the ONS 15454 is built to support optical layer protection features, enhancing network resilience. Technologies such as Automatic Protection Switching (APS) and Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) ensure that connectivity is maintained even in the event of a failure, crucial for mission-critical applications.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15454 is a powerful optical networking solution that combines flexibility, scalability, and advanced management features. Its support for various services and technologies positions it as an essential asset for organizations looking to build a future-proof network capable of handling increasing data traffic while maintaining high service standards.
