1.7.3 LAN Installation

Use a straight-through LAN cable with the LAN port on the ONS 15600 CAP to connect the ONS 15600 to a hub, switch, or a LAN modem for remote access to the node. Use a crossover cable when connecting the CAP to a workstation. You can also use a straight-through or crossover LAN cable with the LAN port on the active TSC faceplate to connect directly to the local ONS 15600.

Note Do not use the LAN port on the active TSC card for remote monitoring because you will lose connectivity to the node if the other TSC card in the shelf becomes the active TSC card.

1.7.4 TL1 Craft Interface Installation

To open a TL1 session using the craft interface on a PC, use the RJ-45 port on the active TSC card to access the system using a standard web browser. If a browser is not available, you can access the system using one of the two EIA/TIA-232 ports on the CAP. Each EIA/TIA-232 port supports VT100 emulation so that you can enter TL1 commands directly without using a web browser. Because the CAP EIA/TIA-232 port is set up as a data terminal equipment (DTE) interface, you must use a 3-pair swapping null modem adapter when you are working in a UNIX or PC environment so that the TXD/RXC, DSR/DTR, and CTS/RTS pins are swapped. Use a standard pin D-sub cable when connecting to a PC. Refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide for more information.

Note Do not use the LAN port on the active TSC card for remote monitoring because you will lose connectivity to the node if the other TSC card in the shelf becomes the active TSC card.

ONS 15600 specifications

Cisco Systems ONS 15600 is a highly versatile optical networking platform designed to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data services. This multiservice edge platform supports various transmission mediums and offers a wide array of features that enable efficient data transport. Ideal for service providers and large enterprises, the ONS 15600 is engineered to provide scalable and reliable optical transport solutions.

One of the notable features of the ONS 15600 is its capability to support multiple protocols, including SONET/SDH, Ethernet, OTN, and legacy TDM services. This flexibility allows users to tailor their networks according to specific service requirements while ensuring interoperability with existing infrastructure. The platform is designed to facilitate seamless service migration, accommodating both legacy and next-generation services.

The modular architecture of the ONS 15600 enhances its scalability. It allows for easy expansion by incorporating additional line cards or interface modules without requiring significant downtime. This modularity ensures that service providers can evolve their networks over time, responding to increasing bandwidth demands and new service offerings with ease.

Incorporating advanced technologies, the ONS 15600 employs Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), significantly increasing the capacity of fiber networks by allowing multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single optical fiber. This capability helps to optimize fiber utilization and reduce operational costs. In addition, the platform supports Optical Transport Network (OTN) for improved error detection and correction, contributing to higher reliability and performance.

Another key characteristic of the ONS 15600 is its robust management capabilities. The platform can be managed through Cisco's Optical Networking Manager (ONM), providing a centralized interface for network configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. This enhances operational efficiency and minimizes downtime, allowing service providers to focus on delivering quality services to their customers.

The ONS 15600 also prioritizes security, offering various features like encryption and access control to safeguard sensitive data during transmission. With its combination of scalability, flexibility, and security, the Cisco ONS 15600 stands out as a reliable choice for organizations looking to enhance their optical networking capabilities while meeting the evolving demands of the digital landscape. Its commitment to quality and performance makes it a cornerstone of modern optical networks.
