Indicator

Color

Description

 

 

 

STAT LED

Red

Indicates a hardware fault; this LED is off during normal operation.

 

 

Replace the unit if the STAT LED persists. During diagnostics, the

 

 

LED flashes quickly during initialization and slowly during

 

 

configuration synchronization.

 

 

 

SRV LED

Green/Amber

The service mode of the card. Green indicates that the card is in use,

 

 

amber indicates that the card is out of service, and off indicates that

 

 

the card is either booting or has no power applied.

 

 

 

LASER ON

Green

The green LASER ON LED indicates that at least one of the card’s

 

 

lasers is active.

 

 

 

2.8.7 ASAP Card Port-Level Indicators

Table 2-21describes the functions of the port-level LEDs on the 4PIO and 1PIO modules, depending on whether the port is configured for SONET or Ethernet. (On the 4PIO modules, the port-level LEDs are numbered 1 through 4.)

Description for a SONET-Configured Port

Description for an Ethernet-Configured Port

 

 

 

Green

Indicates that the port is provisioned.

Constant green indicates that there is a link

 

 

and no traffic. Flashing green indicates that

 

 

there is a link, and the LED flashes at a rate

 

 

proportional to the level of traffic being

 

 

received and transmitted over the port.

 

 

 

Amber

Indicates that the signal is degraded.

Amber indicates that the link has an issue

 

 

inhibiting traffic, such as a signal error, or

 

 

disabled port.

 

 

 

Red

Indicates a signal failure.

Indicates a signal failure.

 

 

 

Off

Indicates that the port is unprovisioned.

Indicates that there is no link.

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.
