DLPs A1 to A99

Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration. Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.

DLP-A1 Unpack and Verify the Shelf Assembly

Step 1 When you receive the ONS 15454 system equipment at the installation site, open the top of the box. The Cisco Systems logo designates the top of the box.

Step 2 Remove the foam inserts from the box. The box contains the 15454 shelf (wrapped in plastic) and a smaller box of items needed for installation.

Step 3 To remove the shelf, grasp both rings of the shelf removal strap and slowly lift the shelf out of the box.

Step 4 Open the smaller box of installation materials, and verify that you have all items listed in the "Cisco-Supplied Materials" section.

Note The fan-tray assembly is shipped separately.

Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A2 Inspect the Shelf Assembly

Step 1 Open the shelf using the pinned hex key. For more information, see the "DLP-A8 Open the Front Door" task.

Step 2 Verify the following:

•The pins are not bent or broken.

•The frame is not bent.

Step 3 If the pins are bent or broken or the frame is bent, call your Cisco sales engineer for a replacement.

Step 4 Close the front door before installing.

Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A3 Reverse the Mounting Bracket to Fit a 19-inch (482.6 mm) Rack

Caution Use only the fastening hardware provided with the ONS 15454 to prevent loosening, deterioration, and electromechanical corrosion of the hardware and joined material.

Caution When mounting the ONS 15454 in a frame with a nonconductive coating (such as paint, lacquer, or enamel) either use the thread-forming screws provided with the ONS 15454 shipping kit, or remove the coating from the threads to ensure electrical continuity.

Step 1 Remove the screws that attach the mounting bracket to the side of the shelf assembly.

Step 2 Flip the detached mounting bracket upside down.

Text imprinted on the mounting bracket will now also be upside down.

Step 3 Place the widest side of the mounting bracket flush against the shelf assembly (see Figure 17-1).

The narrow side of the mounting bracket should be towards the front of the shelf assembly. Text imprinted on the mounting bracket should be visible and upside down.

Step 4 Align the mounting bracket screw holes against the shelf assembly screw holes.

Step 5 Insert the screws that were removed in Step 1 and tighten them.

Step 6 Repeat the task for the mounting bracket on the opposite side.

Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A4 Install the External Brackets and Air Filter

Note If you choose not to install the brackets, install the air filter by sliding it into the compartment at the bottom of the shelf assembly. Each time you remove and reinstall the air filter in the future, you must first remove the fan-tray assembly. Do not install an air filter in both filter locations on any shelf assembly.

Step 1 With the fan-tray assembly removed, place the ONS 15454 facedown on a flat surface.

Note Although the filter will work if it is installed with either side facing up, Cisco recommends that you install it with the metal bracing facing up to preserve the surface of the filter.

Step 2 Locate the three screw holes that run along the left and right sides of the bottom of the shelf assembly.

Step 3 Secure each bracket to the bottom of the shelf assembly using the screws (48-0003) provided in the backplane standoff kit (53-0795-XX).

Each bracket has a filter stopper and a flange on one end. Make sure to attach the brackets with the stoppers and flanges facing the rear of the shelf assembly (the top, if the ONS 15454 is facedown during installation).

Figure 17-2 illustrates bottom bracket installation. If you do not use the brackets, in the future you must remove the fan-tray assembly before removing the air filter. The brackets enable you to clean and replace the air filter without removing the fan-tray assembly.

Figure 17-2 Installing the External Brackets

Step 4 Slide the air filter into the shelf assembly.

Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A5 Mount the Shelf Assembly in a Rack (One Person)

Step 1 Verify that the proper fuse and alarm panel has been installed in the top mounting space. If a fuse and alarm panel has not been installed, you must install one according to manufacturer's instructions.

•If installing the 15454-SA-ANSI or 15454-SA-HD shelf assembly, a 100-A fuse panel (30-A fuse per shelf minimum) is required.

•If installing the 15454-SA-NEBS3 shelf assembly, a standard 80-A fuse panel (20-A fuse per shelf minimum) is required.

Step 2 Ensure that the shelf assembly is set for the desired rack size (either 23 inches [584.2 mm] or 19 inches [482.6 mm]).

Step 3 Using the hex tool that shipped with the assembly, install the two set screws into the screw holes that will not be used to mount the shelf. Let the screws protrude sufficiently to hold the mounting bracket.

Step 4 Lift the shelf assembly to the desired rack position and set it on the set screws.

Step 5 Align the screw holes on the mounting bracket with the mounting holes in the rack.

Step 6 Using the Phillips screwdriver, install one mounting screw in each side of the assembly.

Step 7 When the shelf assembly is secured to the rack, install the remaining mounting screws.

Step 5 Align the screw holes on the mounting brackets with the mounting holes in the rack.

Step 6 While one person holds the shelf assembly in place, the other person can install one mounting screw in each side of the assembly using the Phillips screwdriver.

Step 7 When the shelf assembly is secured to the rack, install the remaining mounting screws.

Note Use at least one set of the horizontal screw slots on the ONS 15454 to prevent slippage.

Step 8 Using the hex tool, remove the temporary set screws.

Step 9 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A7 Mount Multiple Shelf Assemblies in a Rack

Note The ONS 15454 must have one inch (25.4 mm) of airspace below the installed shelf assembly to allow air flow to the fan intake. If a second ONS 15454 is installed underneath a shelf assembly, the air ramp on top of the bottom shelf assembly provides the desired space. However, if the ONS 15454 is installed above third-party equipment, you must provide a minimum spacing of one inch (25.4 mm) between the third-party shelf assembly and the bottom of the ONS 15454. The third-party equipment must not vent heat upward into the ONS 15454.

Step 1 Verify that the proper fuse and alarm panel has been installed in the top mounting space. If a fuse and alarm panel is not present, you must install one according to manufacturer's instructions.

•If installing the 15454-SA-ANSI or 15454-SA-HD shelf assembly, a 100-A fuse panel (30-A fuse per shelf minimum) is required.

•If installing the 15454-SA-NEBS3 shelf assembly, a standard 80-A fuse panel (20-A fuse per shelf minimum) is required.

Step 2 Mount the first ONS 15454 directly below the fuse and alarm panel using the "DLP-A5 Mount the Shelf Assembly in a Rack (One Person)" task or the "DLP-A6 Mount the Shelf Assembly in a Rack (Two People)" task.

Step 3 Repeat the task with the remaining shelves.

Step 2 Attach one end of the shelf ground cable (#10 AWG) to the frame ground posts on the shelf, using the specified dual-hole lug connector. See Figure 17-9 for the location of the ground on the backplane.

Note When terminating a frame ground, use the kep nuts provided with the ONS 15454 and tighten it to a torque specification of 31 in-lb. The kep nut provides a frame ground connection that minimizes the possibility of loosening caused by rotation during installation and maintenance activity. The type of prevention the kep nut provides for the frame ground connection is inherently provided by the terminal block for battery and battery return connections.

Figure 17-9 Ground Location on the Backplane

Step 3 Attach the other end of the shelf ground cable to the equipment bay frame using a dual-hole connector lug per equipment bay frame specifications.

Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A17 Connect Office Power to the ONS 15454 Shelf

Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 202

Note The battery return connection is treated as DC-I, as defined in Telcordia GR-1089-CORE Issue 3.

Note If the system loses power or both TCC2/TCC2P cards are reset and the system is not provisioned to get the time from a Network Time Protocol/Simple Network Time Protocol (NTP/SNTP) server, you must reset the ONS 15454 clock. After powering down, the date defaults to January 1, 1970, 00:04:15. To reset the clock, see the "NTP-A25 Set Up Name, Date, Time, and Contact Information" procedure. If you are using the TCC2/TCC2P cards, the system clock will be kept running for up to three hours. In this case, no action would be required.

Note If you encounter problems with the power supply, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.

Step 1 Connect the office power according to the fuse panel engineering specifications.

Step 2 Measure and cut the cables as needed to reach the ONS 15454 from the fuse panel. Figure 17-10 shows the ONS 15454 power terminals.

Step 3 Dress the power cabling according to local site practice.

Figure 17-10 Cisco ONS 15454 Power Terminals

Step 4 Remove or loosen the #8 power terminal screws on the ONS 15454. To avoid confusion, label the cables connected to the BAT1/RET1 (A) power terminals as 1, and the cables connected to the BAT2/RET2 (B) power terminals as 2.

Note Use only pressure terminal connectors, including ring, fork, and dual-lug types, when terminating the battery, battery return, and frame ground conductors.

Caution Before you make any crimp connections, coat all bare conductors (battery, battery return, and frame ground) with an appropriate antioxidant compound. Bring all unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars to a bright finish, then coat with an antioxidant before you connect them. You do not need to prepare tinned, solder-plated, or silver-plated connectors and other plated connection surfaces, but always keep them clean and free of contaminants.

Caution When terminating power, return, and frame ground, do not use soldering lug, screwless (push-in) connectors, quick-connect, or other friction-fit connectors.

Step 5 Strip 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of insulation from all power cables that you will use.

Step 6 Crimp the lugs onto the ends of all power leads.

Note When terminating battery and battery return connections as shown in Figure 17-10, follow a torque specification of 10 in-lb.

Step 7 Terminate the return 1 lead to the RET1 backplane terminal. Use oxidation-prevention grease to keep connections noncorrosive.

Step 8 Terminate the negative 1 lead to the negative BAT1 backplane power terminal. Use oxidation prevention grease to keep connections noncorrosive.

Step 9 If you use redundant power leads, terminate the return 2 lead to the positive RET2 terminal on the ONS 15454. Terminate the negative 2 lead to the negative BAT2 terminal on the ONS 15454. Use oxidation-preventative grease to keep connections noncorrosive.

Step 10 Route the cables out below the power terminals using the plastic cable clamp, as shown in Figure 17-10.

Step 11 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A18 Turn On and Verify Office Power

Step 1 Using a voltmeter, verify the office battery and ground at the following points on the fuse and alarm panel:

a. To verify the power, place the black test lead of the voltmeter to the frame ground. Place the red test lead on the A-side connection and verify that it is between -40.5 VDC and -57 VDC. Place the red test lead on the B-side connection and verify that it is between -40.5 VDC and -57 VDC.

Note The voltages -40.5 VDC and -57 VDC are, respectively, the minimum and maximum voltages required to power the chassis.

b. To verify the ground, place the black test lead of the voltmeter to the frame ground. Place the red test lead on the A-side return ground and verify that no voltage is present. Place the red test lead on the B-side return ground and verify that no voltage is present.

Step 2 Complete one of the following to power up the node:

•If you are using a 80-A fuse panel, insert a 20-A fuse into the fuse position according to site practice.

•If you are using a 100-A fuse panel, insert a 30-A fuse into the fuse position according to site practice.

Step 3 Using a voltmeter, verify the shelf for -48 VDC battery and ground:

a. To verify the A-side of the shelf, place the black lead of the voltmeter to the frame ground. Place the red test lead to the BAT1 (A-side battery connection) red cable. Verify that it reads between -40.5 VDC and -57 VDC. Then place the red test lead of the voltmeter to the RET1 (A-side return ground) black cable and verify that no voltage is present.

Note The voltages -40.5 VDC and -57 VDC are, respectively, the minimum and maximum voltages required to power the chassis.

b. To verify the B-side of the shelf, place the black test lead of the voltmeter to the frame ground. Place the red test lead to the BAT2 (B-side battery connection) red cable. Verify that it reads between -40.5 VDC and -57 VDC. Then, place the red test lead of the voltmeter to the RET2 (B-side return ground) black cable and verify that no voltage is present.

Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A19 Install Alarm Wires on the Backplane

Step 1 Using 100-ohm shielded BITS clock cable pair #22 or #24 AWG (0.51 mm² or 0.64 mm²) twisted-pair T1-type wires, wrap the alarm wires on the appropriate wire-wrap pins according to local site practice. Ground the shield of the BITS Input cable at the BITS end. For BITS Output, wrap the ground shield of the BITS cable to the frame ground pin (FG1) located below the column of BITS pins.

Figure 17-11 shows alarm pin assignments for the AIC-I in the Release 3.4 or higher ONS 15454 backplane.

Note The AIC-I requires a shelf assembly running Software Release 3.4.0 or later. The backplane of the ANSI shelf contains a wire-wrap field with pin assignment according to the layout in Figure 17-11. The shelf assembly might be an existing shelf that has been upgraded to R3.4 or later. In this case, the backplane pin labeling will appear as indicated in Figure 17-13, but you must use the pin assignments provided by the AIC-I as shown in Figure 17-11.

Figure 17-11 Cisco ONS 15454 Backplane Pinouts (Release 3.4 or Later)

Figure 17-12 describes the environmental alarm pins on the backplane for Release 3.4 or later.

Figure 17-12 Highlighted Environmental Alarms

Figure 17-13 shows alarm pin assignments in a shelf for Release 3.3 and earlier. The AIC-I is incompatible with shelves Release 3.3 or earlier.

Figure 17-13 Cisco ONS 15454 Backplane Pinouts (Release 3.3 or Earlier)

Note The X.25, Modem, and TBOS pin fields are not active.

Step 2 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A20 Install Timing Wires on the Backplane

Step 1 Using 100-ohm shielded BITS clock cable pair #22 or #24 AWG (0.51 mm² or 0.64 mm²), twisted-pair T1-type, wrap the clock wires on the appropriate wire-wrap pins according to local site practice.

Ground the shield of the BITS input cable at the BITS end. For BITS output, wrap the ground shield of the BITS cable to the frame ground pin (FG1) located beneath the column of BITS Pins. Table 17-1 lists the pin assignments for the BITS timing pin fields.

Note For more detailed information about timing, refer to the "Timing" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual. To set up system timing, see the "NTP-A28 Set Up Timing" procedure.

Step 2 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A21 Install LAN Wires on the Backplane

Note Rather than using the LAN wires, you can use the LAN connection port on the TCC2/TCC2P if preferred. Use either the backplane connection or the TCC2/TCC2P front connection. You cannot use the LAN backplane pins and the LAN connection port on the TCC2/TCC2P simultaneously; however, it is possible for you to make a direct connection from a computer to the LAN connection port on the TCC2/TCC2P while the LAN backplane pins are in use, as long as the computer that is connected directly to the TCC2/TCC2P is not connected to the same LAN.

Step 1 Using #22 or #24 AWG (0.51 mm² or 0.64 mm²) wire or CAT-5 UTP Ethernet cable, wrap the wires on the appropriate wire-wrap pins according to local site practice.

Caution Cross-talk might result if both receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) pins connect on the same twisted pair of wires from the CAT-5 cable. The two Tx pins need to be on one twisted pair, and the two Rx pins need to be on another twisted pair.

A frame ground pin is located beneath each pin field (FG2 for the LAN pin field). Wrap the ground shield of the LAN interface cable to the frame ground pin. Table 17-2 shows the LAN pin assignments.

Note The TCC2/TCC2P does not support Ethernet polarity detection. If your Ethernet connection has incorrect polarity (this can only occur with cables that have the receive wire pairs flipped), a "Lan Connection Polarity Reversed" condition is raised. This condition usually occurs during an upgrade or initial node deployment. To correct the situation, ensure that your Ethernet cable has the correct mapping of the wire-wrap pins.

Step 2 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A22 Install the TL1 Craft Interface

Note Rather than using the craft pins, you can use a LAN cable connected to the EIA/TIA-232 port on the TCC2/TCC2P card to access a TL1 craft interface.

Step 1 Using #22 or #24 AWG (0.51 mm² or 0.64 mm²) wire, wrap the craft interface wires on the appropriate wire-wrap pins according to local site practice.

Step 2 Wrap the ground shield of the craft interface cable to the frame-ground pin.

Wrap the ground wire of your computer cable to Pin A3 on the craft pin field. Table 17-3 shows the pin assignments for the CRAFT pin field.

Note You cannot use the craft backplane pins and the EIA/TIA-232 port on the TCC2/TCC2P card simultaneously. Using a combination prevents access to the node or causes a loss in connectivity.

Step 3 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A23 Install DS-1 Cables Using Electrical Interface Adapters (Balun)

Note All DS-1 cables connected to the ONS 15454 DS-1 ports must terminate with twisted-pair cables to connect to the DS-1 electrical interface adapter. The DS-1 electrical interface adapters project 1.72 inches (43.7 mm) beyond the SMB EIA. Refer to the "Shelf and Backplane Hardware" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual for more information.

Step 1 Attach the SMB connector on an adapter to the SMB connector for the port's transmit pair on the backplane.

Step 2 Attach the SMB connector on an adapter to the SMB connector for the port's receive pair on the backplane.

Step 3 Terminate the DS-1 transmit and receive cables for the port to the wire-wrap posts on the adapter:

a. Using a wire-wrap tool, connect the receive cables to the receive adapter pins on the backplane connector for the desired port.

b. Connect the transmit cables to the transmit adapter pins on the backplane connector for the desired port.

c. Terminate the shield ground wire on the DS-1 cable to ground according to local site practice.

Note If you put DS1N-14 cards in Slots 3 and 15 to form 1:N protection groups, do not wire Slots 3 and 15 for DS-1 electrical interface adapters.

Figure 17-14 shows a ONS 15454 backplane with an SMB EIA. DS-1 electrical interface adapters are attached on both sides of the shelf assembly to create DS-1 twisted-pair termination points.

Step 3 Tie wrap or lace the cables to the EIA according to Telcordia standards (GR-1275-CORE) or local site practice.

Step 4 Route the cables to the nearest side of the shelf assembly into rack runs according to local site practice.

Step 5 Label the transmit, receive, working, and protect cables at each end of the connection to avoid confusion with cables that are similar in appearance.

Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A28 Route Coaxial Cables

Step 1 Tie wrap or lace the coaxial cables according to local site practice and route the cables through the side cutouts on either side of the ONS 15454. The rubber coated edges of the side cutouts prevent the cables from chafing.

Step 2 Use short lengths of pigtail RG179 to terminate the shelf assembly.

Step 3 Use standard RG59 (735A) cable connected to the RG179 for the remainder of the cable run. When using a 10-foot (3.05-m) section of the RG179, you can attach a maximum length of 437 feet (133 m) of RG59 (735A). When using a 30-foot (9.1-m) section of RG179, you can attach a maximum length of 311 feet (94.8 m) of RG59 (735A).

When using the RG179 cable, the maximum distance available (122 feet, 37.2 m) is less than the maximum distance available with standard RG59 (735A) cable (306 feet, 93.3 m). The maximum distance when using the RG59 (734A) cable is 450 feet (137.2 m). The shorter maximum distance available with the RG179 is due to a higher attenuation rate for the thinner cable. Attenuation rates are calculated using a DS-3 signal:

•For RG179, the attenuation rate is 59 dB/kft (dB per kilo-foot) at 22 MHz.

•For RG59 (735A), the attenuation rate is 23 dB/kft at 22 MHz.

Use a figure of 5.0 for total cable loss when making calculations. Figure 17-17 shows an example of proper coaxial cable routing.

Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A29 Route DS-1 and DS-3/EC-1 Twisted-Pair Cables

Step 1 Verify the following:

•DS-1 electrical interface adapters are installed on every transmit and receive connector for DS-1 ports.

•Wire-wrap posts on the DS-1 electrical interface adapters are used to connect the terminated incoming cables.

Step 2 Tie-wrap or lace the DS-1 and DS-3/EC-1 twisted-pair cables according to local site practice and route the cables into the side cutouts on either side of the ONS 15454.

Caution When routing the long UBIC-H combination 735/734 cables, do not stretch or force them by pulling on one end. They must be properly laid into the cable racks to prevent the splices from being broken or shorted.

Note SMB EIAs feature cable-management eyelets for tie wrapping or lacing cables to the cover panel.

Step 3 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A30 Install Ferrites to Power Cabling

Step 1 Wrap the cables once around and through the block ferrites and pull the cables straight through the oval ferrites.

Step 2 Place the oval ferrite as close to the power terminals as possible, between the ONS 15454 and the block ferrite, as shown in Figure 17-18. The block ferrite should be within 5 to 6 inches (127 to 152 mm) of the power terminals.

Step 1 Check each wire and cable connection to make sure all cables are locked securely. If a wire or cable is loose, return to the applicable installation procedure to correct it.

Step 2 To check that the backplane is seated correctly, verify that the screw holes and the backplane interface card holes align properly and that the A and B connectors interlock.

Step 3 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A33 Measure Voltage

Step 1 Using a voltmeter, verify the office ground and power. Figure 17-10 shows the power terminals.

a. Place the black lead (positive) on the frame ground on the bay. Hold it there while completing Step b.

b. Place the red lead (negative) on the fuse power points and alarm panel to verify that they read between -40.5 VDC and -57 VDC (power) or 0 (return ground).

Step 2 Using a voltmeter, verify the shelf ground and power wiring:

a. Place the black lead (positive) on the RET1 and the red lead on the BAT1 point. Verify a reading between -40.5 VDC and -57 VDC. If there is no voltage, check the following and correct if necessary:

•Battery and ground are reversed to the shelf.

•Battery is open or missing.

•Return is open or missing.

b. Repeat Step 2 for the RET2 and BAT2 if the B power feed is provided.

Step 3 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A34 Create an Optimized 1+1 Protection Group

Step 1 Verify that the cards are installed according to the optimized 1+1 requirements specified in Table 4-1.

Step 2 Change the port type from SONET to SDH for each applicable port on the OC3-4 or OC3-8 card where you want to provision a 1+1 optimized protection group:

a. In node view, double-click the applicable card.

b. Click the Provisioning > Line tabs.

c. In the Type column next to port, choose SDH from the drop-down list and click Apply.

Step 3 In node view, click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.

Step 4 In the Protection Groups area, click Create.

Step 5 In the Create Protection Group dialog box, enter the following:

•Name—Type a name for the protection group. The name can have up to 32 alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters. Special characters are permitted. For TL1 compatibility, do not use question marks (?), backslash (\), or double quote (") characters.

•Type—Choose 1+1 Optimized from the drop-down list.

•Protect Port—Choose the protect port from the drop-down list. The list displays the available OC3-4 or OC3-8 ports. If OC3-4 or OC3-8 cards are not installed, no ports appear in the drop-down list.

After you choose the protect card, a list of cards available for protection appear in the Available Ports list, as shown in Figure 17-33. If no cards are available, no cards appear. If this occurs, you cannot complete this task until you install the physical cards or preprovision the ONS 15454 slots using the "DLP-A330 Preprovision a Card Slot" task.

Step 6 From the Available Ports list, choose the port that will be protected by the port you selected in the Protect Port field. Click the top arrow button to move each port to the Working Ports list.

Step 7 Complete the remaining fields:

•Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, choose a reversion time from the drop-down list. The range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes. Reversion time is the amount of time that will elapse before the primary channel is automatically renamed as secondary and the secondary channel is renamed as primary. The reversion timer starts after conditions causing the switch are cleared.

•Verification guard time—Choose the verification guard time from the drop-down list. The range is 500ms to 1s. A verification guard timer is used to ensure the acceptance of a Force switch command from the far-end node. When the Force command is received, if no Lockout is present or if Secondary section is not in a failed state, then the outgoing K1 byte is changed to indicate Force and the verification guard timer is started. If a Force switch command is not acknowledged by the far-end within the verification guard timer duration, then the Force command is cleared.

•Recovery guard time—Choose the recovery guard time from the drop-down list. The range is 0s to 10s. The default is 1s. A recovery guard timer is used for preventing rapid switches due to SD/SF (Signal Degrade/Signal Failure) failures. After the SD/SF failure is cleared on the line, a recovery guard timer is started. Recovery guard time is the amount of time elapsed before the system declares that a condition is cleared after the detection of an SD/SF failure.

•Detection guard time—Choose the detection guard time from the drop-down list. The range is 0s to 5s. The default is 1s. The detection guard timer is started after detecting an SD/SF/LOS (Loss of Signal) /LOF (Loss of Frame) /AIS-L (Alarm Indication Signal - Line) failure. Detection guard time is the amount of time elapsed before a traffic switch is initiated to a standby card after the detection of an SD/SF/LOS/LOF/AIS-L failure on the active card.

Reversion time is the amount of time that will elapse before the primary channel is automatically renamed as secondary and the secondary channel is renamed as primary.

•Verification guard time—Choose the verification guard time from the drop-down list. The range is 500ms to 1s. A verification guard timer is used to ensure the acceptance of a Force switch command from the far-end node. When the Force command is received, if no Lockout is present or if the Secondary section is not in a failed state, then the outgoing K1 byte is changed to indicate Force and the verification guard timer is started. If a Force user command is not acknowledged by the far-end within the verification guard timer duration, then the Force command is cleared.

•Recovery guard time—Choose the recovery guard time from the drop-down list. The range is 0s to 10s. The default is 1s. A recovery guard timer is used for preventing rapid switches due to signal degrade (SD) or signal failure (SF) failures. After the SD/SF failure is cleared on the line, a recovery guard timer is started. Recovery guard time is the amount of time elapsed before the system declares that a condition is cleared after the detection of an SD/SF failure.

•Detection guard time—Choose the detection guard time from the drop-down list. The range is 0s to 5s. The default is 1 second. The detection guard timer is started after detecting an SD, SF, loss of signal (LOS), loss of frame (LOF), or line alarm indication signal (AIS-L) failure. Detection guard time is the amount of time elapsed before a traffic switch is initiated to a standby card after the detection of an SD, SF, LOS, LOF, or AIS-L failure on the active card.

Step 4 Click Apply. Confirm that the changes appear; if not, repeat the task.

Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A36 Install the TCC2/TCC2P Cards

Note When installing cards, allow each card to boot completely before installing the next card.

Step 1 Open the latches/ejectors of the TCC2/TCC2P card that you will install.

Step 2 Use the latches/ejectors to firmly slide the card along the guide rails until the card plugs into the receptacle at the back of the slot (Slot 7 or 11).

Step 3 Verify that the card is inserted correctly and close the latches/ejectors on the card.

Note It is possible to close the latches/ejectors when the card is not completely plugged into the backplane. Ensure that you cannot insert the card any further.

If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDs turn off.

Step 4 Go to Step a to verify the LED activity on the TCC2 card. For the TCC2P card, go to Step b.

a. For the TCC2 card:

•All LEDs turn on briefly. The red FAIL LED and the yellow ACT/STBY LED turn on for about 15 seconds.

•The red FAIL LED and the green ACT/STBY LED turn on for about 40 seconds.

•The red FAIL LED blinks for about 15 seconds.

•The red FAIL LED turns on for about 15 seconds. All LEDs turn on for about 3 seconds before turning off for about 3 seconds.

•Both green PWR LEDs turn on for 10 seconds. The PWR LEDs then turn red for 2 to 3 minutes before going to steady green.

•While the PWR LEDs are red for two to three minutes, the ACT/STBY, MJ, and MN LEDs turn on, followed by the SNYC LED.

•The boot up process is complete when the PWR LEDs turn green and the ACT/STBY remains on. (The ACT/STBY LED will be green if this is the first TCC2 card installed, and amber if this is the second TCC2 card installed.)

Note It might take up to 4 minutes for the A and B power alarms to clear.

Note Alarm LEDs might be on; disregard alarm LEDs until you are logged into Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) and can view the Alarms tab.

Note If you are logged into CTC, the SFTWDOWN alarm might appear as many as two times while the TCC2 card initializes. The alarm should clear after the card completely boots.

Note If the FAIL LED is on continuously, see the tip in Step 8 about the TCC2 card automatic upload.

b. For the TCC2P card:

•All LEDs turn on briefly. The red FAIL LED, the yellow ACT/STBY LED, the green SYNC LED, and the green ACO LED turn on for about 15 seconds.

•The red FAIL LED and the green ACT/STBY LED turn on for about 30 seconds.

•The red FAIL LED blinks for about 3 seconds.

•The red FAIL LED turns on for about 15 seconds.

•The red FAIL LED blinks for about 10 seconds and then becomes solid.

•All LEDs (including the CRIT, MAJ, MIN, REM, SYNC, and ACO LEDs) blink once and turn off for about 5 seconds.

•Both green PWR LEDs turn on for 10 seconds. The PWR LEDs then turn red for 2 to 3 minutes before going to steady green. During this time, the ACT/STBY, MJ, and MN LEDs might turn on, followed by the SNYC LED briefly.

•The boot up process is complete when the PWR LEDs turn green and the yellow ACT/STBY remains on. (The ACT/STBY LED will be green if this is the first TCC2 card installed, and yellow if this is the second TCC2 card installed.)

Note It might take up to 3 minutes for the A and B power alarms to clear.

Note Alarm LEDs might be on; disregard alarm LEDs until you are logged into CTC and can view the Alarms tab.

Note If you are logged into CTC, the SFTWDOWN alarm might appear as many as two times while the TCC2P card initializes. The alarm should clear after the card completely boots.

Note If the FAIL LED is on continuously, see the tip in Step 8 about the TCC2P card automatic upload.

Step 5 Verify that the ACT/STBY LED is green if this is the first powered-up TCC2/TCC2P card being installed, or yellow for standby if this is the second powered-up TCC2/TCC2P. The IP address, temperature of the node, and time of day appear on the LCD. The default time and date is 12:00 AM, January 1, 1970.

Step 6 The LCD cycles through the IP address (the default is 192.1.0.2), node name, and software version. Verify that the correct software version displays on the LCD. The software text string indicates the node type (SDH or SONET) and software release.( For example: SDH 07.00-05L-20.10 indicates it is an SDH software load, Release 7.00. The numbers following the release number do not have any significance.)

Step 7 If the LCD shows the correct software version, continue with Step 8. If the LCD does not show the correct software version, upgrade the software or remove the TCC2/TCC2P card and install a replacement card.

Refer to the release-specific software upgrade document to replace the software. To exchange the TCC2/TCC2P card, see the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.

Step 8 Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for the redundant TCC2/TCC2P card.

Tip If you install a standby TCC2/TCC2P card that has a different software version than the active card, the newly installed standby TCC2/TCC2P card automatically copies the software version from the active TCC2/TCC2P card. You do not need to do anything in this situation, but the loading TCC2/TCC2P card does not boot up in the normal manner. When the standby card is first inserted, the LEDs follow most of the sequence listed in Step 4. However, after the red FAIL LED turns on for about 5 seconds, the FAIL LED and the ACT/STBY LED begin to flash alternately for up to 30 minutes while the new software loads onto the active TCC2/TCC2P card. After loading the new software, the upgraded TCC2/TCC2P card's LEDs repeat the sequence from Step 4, and the amber ACT/STBY LED turns on.

Note If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDs turn off.

Note Alarm LEDs might be on; disregard alarm LEDs until you are logged into CTC and can view the Alarms tab.

Step 9 Verify that the ACT/STBY LED is amber for standby.

Step 10 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A43 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for Path Protection Configurations

Note To avoid error, connect fiber-optic cable so that the farthest slot to the right represents the east port, and the farthest slot to the left represents the west port. Fiber connected to an east port at one node must plug into the west port on an adjacent node.

Caution Do not provision the path protection east and west ports on the same OC-N card.

Step 1 Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all path protection nodes.

Step 2 Plug the fiber into the Tx connector of an OC-N card at one node and plug the other end of the fiber into the Rx connector of an OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card displays an SF LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched (one fiber connects a receive port on one card to a receive port on another card, or the same situation with transmit ports).

Step 3 Repeat Step 2 until you have configured the ring.

Figure 17-20 shows fiber connections for a four-node path protection with trunk (span) cards in Slot 5 (west) and Slot 12 (east).

Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-A44 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for BLSR Configurations

Note To avoid error, connect fiber-optic cable so that the farthest slot to the right represents the east port, and the farthest slot to the left represents the west port. Fiber connected to an east port at one node must plug into the west port on an adjacent node.

Caution Do not provision the BLSR east and west ports on the same OC-N card.

Step 1 Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all BLSR nodes.

Step 2 Plug the fiber into the Tx connector of an OC-N card at one node and plug the other end into the Rx connector of an OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card displays an SF LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched.

Note Do not mix working and protect card connections when connecting a four-fiber BLSR. The BLSR does not function if working and protect cards are interconnected. See Figure 17-24 for an example of correct four-fiber BLSR cabling.

Step 3 Repeat Step 2 until you have configured the ring.

Figure 17-23 shows fiber connections for a two-fiber BLSR with trunk (span) cards in Slot 5 (west) and Slot 12 (east).
