DLP-A553 Upgrade DS3XM-6 Cards in a 1:1 Configuration to High-Density DS3XM-12 Electrical Cards

Purpose

This task upgrades low-density electrical cards in a 1:1 protection

 

scheme to high-density electrical cards (DS3XM-12 cards). This

 

procedure upgrades low-density DS3XM-6 cards in a 1:1 protection

 

scheme to high-density DS3XM-12 cards.

Tools/Equipment

DS3XM-12 card(s), as needed.

 

Upgrade of DS3XM-6 to DS3XM-12 does not require a High-density

 

shelf assembly. The upgrade can be performed on low-density shelf

 

assembly as well.

Prerequisite Procedures

NTP-A17 Install the Electrical Cards, page 2-10

Required/As Needed

As needed

Onsite/Remote

Onsite

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

Note You cannot have any DS-1 cards installed on the same side of the shelf as the DS3XM-12 card when you finish the low-density to high-density upgrade.

Caution After upgrading a DS3XM-6 card to a DS3XM-12 card, the newly installed DS3XM-12 card will run in STS-12 mode. To change the backplane throughput rate, make sure the card is out-of-service and not carrying live traffic. Changing the backplane throughput rate on a in-service card can cause a traffic outage of up to 50 ms.

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-A60 Log into CTC" task on page 17-68. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 According to local site practice, complete the "NTP-A108 Back Up the Database" procedure on page 15-5.

Step 3 Determine which low-density card(s) (DS3XM-6) you want to upgrade to high-density, according to slot limitations.

Note For 1:1 protect groups, working and protect cards can be installed in any traffic slot. But both cards should be placed adjacent to each other.

The following limitations apply if you are upgrading a low-density protect card:

•The protect card must be in a protection group.

•For 1:N protection groups where N = 1: If 1:1 is created on A side protect card cannot be upgraded if an DS1 card is installed or preprovisioned in A side. If 1:1 is created On the B side the protect card cannot be DS1 card is installed or preprovisioned in B side

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.
