Change Card Settings

This chapter explains how to change transmission settings on cards in a Cisco ONS 15600 SDH.

Before You Begin

As necessary, complete the "NTP-F188 Document Existing Provisioning" procedure on page 9-1.

Before performing the following procedures, investigate all alarms and clear any trouble conditions. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Troubleshooting Guide as necessary.

This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).

1. F196 Manage Pluggable Port Modules on the ASAP Card—Complete this procedure to provision a multirate pluggable port module (PPM), provision or change the line rate or wavelength on a PPM, or delete a PPM.

2. F197 Modify Line and Status Thresholds for Optical Ports—As needed, complete this procedure to change line (drop) and threshold settings for all STM-N cards.

3. F198 Change an Optical Port to SONET—As needed, complete this procedure to change an optical port from SDH to SONET.

4. F199 Change the Card Service State—As needed, complete this procedure to change the card service state.

NTP-F196 Manage Pluggable Port Modules on the ASAP Card

Purpose

The ASAP card hosts a total of four 4PIO or 1PIO modules. Small-form factor pluggables (SFPs) provide a fiber interface to 4PIO modules, and XFPs provide a fiber interface to 1PIO modules. A line rate (STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, STM-64, or Gigabit Ethernet) must be assigned to each SFP/XFP. In CTC, SFPs and XFPs are known as PPMs.Use this procedure to provision multirate PPMs, provision or change the optical line rate on a multirate PPM, or delete PPMs. PPMs

Prerequisite Procedures

NTP-F120 Install the ASAP Card, page 2-6

DLP-F384 Install the ASAP 1PIO and 4PIO (PIM) Modules, page 18-95

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task on page 16-34 to log into an ONS 15600 SDH on the network. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 In network view, click the Alarms tab:

a. Verify that the alarm filter is not turned on. See the "DLP-F288 Disable Alarm Filtering" task on page 17-78 as necessary.

b. Verify that no unexplained conditions appear on the network. If unexplained conditions appear, resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.

c. Complete the "DLP-F379 Export CTC Data" task on page 18-88 to export alarm and condition information.

Step 3 Complete the DLP-F358 Provision a Multirate PPM, page 18-70 if you installed a multirate SFP on a 4PIO module. If you preprovisioned the SFP, skip this step and continue with Step 4.

Step 4 Complete the "DLP-F390 Provision an Optical Line Rate and Wavelength" task on page 18-104 to assign an STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, or Gigabit Ethernet line rate on an SFP installed on a 4PIO module, or to assign an STM-64 line rate on an XFP installed on a 1PIO module.

Step 5 Complete the "DLP-F359 Change the Optical Line Rate" task on page 18-71 as needed.

Step 6 Complete the "DLP-F360 Delete a PPM" task on page 18-72 as needed.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-F197 Modify Line and Status Thresholds for Optical Ports

Purpose

This procedure changes line settings, line status (in service or out of service), and performance monitoring (PM) thresholds for STM-16 cards, STM-64 cards, and STM-N ports on the ASAP card.

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task on page 16-34 at the node where you want to change the settings. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 As needed, complete the "NTP-F221 Back Up the Database" procedure on page 14-4.

Step 3 Perform any of the following tasks as needed:

•DLP-F392 Change Line Transmission Settings for STM-N Cards, page 18-108

•DLP-F393 Change Threshold Settings for STM-N Ports, page 18-112

•DLP-F394 Change Optics Threshold Settings for STM-N Ports, page 18-114

•DLP-F395 Change the STM-N Port ALS Maintenance Settings, page 18-116

Step 4 As needed, complete the "NTP-F221 Back Up the Database" procedure on page 14-4.

Note See Chapter 9, "Manage Alarms" for information about the Alarm Behavior tab, including alarm profiles and alarm suppression.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-F198 Change an Optical Port to SONET

Purpose

This procedure provisions a port on an STM-N card for SONET. The port must be in the Locked,maintenance administrative state before you change the port from SDH to SONET.

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task on page 16-34 at the node where you want to change the settings. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 Double-click the STM-N card where you want to provision a port for SONET.

Step 3 Click the Provisioning > Line tabs. (Click the Provisioning > Optical > Line tabs for the ASAP card.)

Step 4 In the Type field, specify the port and choose SDH.

Note Before you can change the port type from SDH to SONET, ensure the following: the EnableSyncMsg and SendDoNotUse fields are unchecked, the card is not part of an MS-SPRing or 1+1 protection group, the card is not part of an orderwire channel, and the card is not an SDH data communications channel/generic communications channel (DCC/GCC) termination point.

Step 5 Click Apply.

Step 6 You can repeat Steps 4 and 5 for any other ports on that card.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-F199 Change the Card Service State

Purpose

This procedure changes a card or port's service state. The service state is an autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port.

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task on page 16-34 at the node where you want to change the card service state.

Step 2 Click the Inventory tab.

Step 3 Click Admin State for the card you want to change, and choose an Admin state from the drop-down list: Unlocked (In service) or Locked,maintenance (Out of service and in maintenance).

Step 4 Click Apply.

Step 5 If an error message appears indicating that the card state cannot be changed from its current state, click OK.

Depending on the Admin State you choose, the card or port/PPM transitions to a different service state. For more information about the service states and card state transitions, refer to the "Administrative and Service States" appendix of the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.
