Description

 

 

 

 

Terminal (west)

 

 

Terminal (west) nodes are represented as a three-dimensional

 

 

 

cylinder with one amplifier on the west side of the icon.

 

 

 

A terminal node contains one 32DMX-O or 32DMX card, and

 

 

 

one 32MUX-O card. No OADM cards are provisioned.

 

 

 

A flexible terminal node contains a series of OADM and

 

 

 

amplifier cards.

 

 

 

For DWDM node information, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454

 

 

 

DWDM Reference Manual.

 

 

 

 

Terminal (east)

 

 

Terminal (east) nodes are represented as a three-dimensional square

 

 

 

with one amplifier on the east side of the icon.

 

 

 

A terminal node contains one32DMX-O or 32DMX card, and

 

 

 

one 32MUX-O card. No OADM cards are provisioned.

 

 

 

A flexible terminal node contains a series of OADM and

 

 

 

amplifier cards.

 

 

 

For DWDM node information, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454

 

 

 

DWDM Reference Manual.

 

 

 

 

Line Amplifier

 

 

Line amplifier and optical service channel (OSC) regeneration

OSC regeneration

 

nodes are represented as a three-dimensional cylinder with one

 

arrow pointing west and another arrow pointing east.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A line amplifier node only has OPT-PRE or OPT-BST

 

 

 

amplifiers provisioned.

 

 

 

An OSC regeneration node contains two OSC-CSM cards.

 

 

 

For DWDM node information, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454

 

 

 

DWDM Reference Manual.

 

 

 

 

Unknown

 

 

An unknown DWDM node icon is represented as a

 

 

 

three-dimensional cylinder with one arrow pointing north. An

 

 

 

unknown node means that the provisioned cards do not allow the

 

 

 

node to fit into any of the defined DWDM node categories. For

 

 

 

DWDM node information, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM

 

 

 

Reference Manual.

 

 

 

 

Manage the CTC Window

Different navigational methods are available within the CTC window to access views and perform management actions. You can double-click and right-click objects in the graphic area and move the mouse over nodes, cards, and ports to view popup status information.
