DLP- A553 Upgrade DS1 or DS3-12 Cards in a 1:N or 1:1 Configuration to High-Density Electrical Cards

b.Click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.

c.Double-click the protection group that contains the working card.

d.Click the low-density card slot.

e.Click Switch and Yes in the Confirmation dialog box.

Step 11 Physically remove the low-density card you switched traffic away from in Step 10: a. Open the card ejectors.

a. Slide the card out of the slot. This raises the IMPROPRMVL alarm, which will clear when the upgrade is complete.

Step 12 Change the low-density card to the high-density card in CTC:

a.Right-click the slot where you removed the low-density card and choose Change Card from the drop-down list.

b.Choose the new card type from the Change to drop-down list.

c.Click OK.

Step 13 Insert the new high-density electrical card into the slot where you removed the low-density card. Be sure to remove the plastic protective covers on rear of the card before installing the card:

a.Open the ejectors on the card.

b.Slide the card into the slot along the guide rails.

c.Close the ejectors.

Wait for the IMPROPRMVL alarm to clear and the card to become standby. For more information about LED behavior during high-density electrical card bootup, see the "NTP-A17 Install the Electrical Cards" procedure on page 2-9.

Step 14 Clear the switch you performed in Step 10:

a.In node view, double-click the slot where you installed the high-density card in Step 13.

b.In the Maintenance > Protection tab, double-click the protection group that contains the reporting card.

c.Click the selected group.

d.Click Switch and click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

e.The protect card should now become standby.

Step 15 If you have upgraded to a DS3/EC1-48 card and are using 734A cables with UBIC electrical interface adapters (EIAs), you must set the LBO for Ports 13 to 48 (DS3/EC1-48), doing so according to the actual distance (in feet) from the LBX panel.

If you are using 735A cables, you must set the LBO for Ports 13 to 48 (DS3/EC1-48), doing so according to the following conventions:

Actual distance from the DSX panel is less than 110 feet (33.53 m):

LBO setting is " 0 - 225."

Actual distance from the DSX panel is greater than or equal to 110 feet (33.53 m):

LBO setting is "226 to 450."

If you have upgraded to a DS1/E1-56 card with UBIC EIAs, you must set the LBO for Ports 15 to 56, doing so according to the actual distance (in feet) from the LBX panel. Repeat Steps 4 through 14 for any other low-density cards you want to upgrade to high-density cards.

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.
