Port Color

Service State

Description

 

 

 

Gray

OOS-MA,DSBLD

(Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled) The port is

 

 

out-of-service and unable to carry traffic. Loopbacks are

 

 

not allowed in this service state.

 

 

 

Green

IS-NR

(In-Service and Normal) The port is fully operational and

 

 

performing as provisioned. The port transmits a signal and

 

 

displays alarms; loopbacks are not allowed.

 

 

 

Violet

OOS-AU,AINS

(Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service)

 

 

The port is out-of-service, but traffic is carried. Alarm

 

 

reporting is suppressed. The node monitors the ports for an

 

 

error-free signal. After an error-free signal is detected, the

 

 

port stays in OOS-AU,AINS state for the duration of the

 

 

soak period. After the soak period ends, the port service

 

 

state changes to IS-NR.

 

 

Raised fault conditions, whether or not their alarms are

 

 

reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by

 

 

using the TL1 RTRV-COND command. The AINS port

 

 

will automatically transition to IS-NR when a signal is

 

 

received for the length of time provisioned in the soak

 

 

field.

4.5.1.2 Node View Card Shortcuts

If you move your mouse over cards in the graphic, popups display additional information about the card including the card type; card status (active or standby); the type of alarm, such as critical, major, and minor (if any); and the alarm profile used by the card. Right-click a card to reveal a shortcut menu that you can use to open, reset, or delete a card. Right-click a slot to preprovision a card (that is, provision a slot before installing the 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.
