Onsite or remote |
Security Level |
Superuser only |
Restoring an out-of-date database or a database from a different node might affect the service. Any provisioning data that currently exists on the node, but not present in the database file being restored, will be deleted.
Note The following parameters are not backed up and restored: Node name, subnet mask and gateway, and IIOP port. If you change the node name and then restore a backed up database with a different node name, the circuits will map to the new renamed node. Cisco recommends keeping a record of the old and new node names.
Note You need separate backups for each node in a circuit path to be able to restore the entire circuit.
Note If you want to revert to a previously loaded software version, refer to the platform-specific upgrade document for instructions.
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task at the node where you are performing the database restore. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 In node view, click the Maintenance > Database tabs.
Step 3 Click Restore.
Step 4 In the Database Restore window, click the Alarms check box and/or Performance check box to choose these database items in addition to provisioning information.
Note You can back up five databases as part of one back up file package; therefore the 15600 SDH allows you to select all of the files or a subset of the files to restore as part of the restore package.
Step 5 In the Database Restore window, click Browse.
Step 6 Navigate to the backup file stored on the workstation hard drive or on network storage.
Step 7 Click the database file to highlight it.

NTP-F224 Restore the Node to Factory Configuration
Purpose |
This procedure reinitializes the ONS 15600 SDH using the CTC reinitialization tool. Reinitialization uploads a new software package to the control card, clears the node database, and restores the factory default parameters. |
Tools/Equipment |
Cisco ONS 15600 SDH System Software CD, Version 8.0.x JRE 5.0 must be installed on the computer to log into a Software R8.0node when reinitialization is complete. The reinitialization tool can run on JRE 1.3.1_02, JRE 1.4.2, or JRE 5.0. |
Prerequisite Procedures |
One of the following: • • |
Required/As Needed |
As needed |
Onsite/Remote |
Onsite |
Security Level |
Superuser only |
Cisco strongly recommends that you keep different node databases in separate folders. This is because the reinit tool chooses the first product-specific database in the specified directory if you use the Search Path field instead of the Package and Database fields. You may accidentally copy an incorrect database if multiple databases are kept in the specified directory.
Restoring a node to the factory configuration deletes all cross-connects on the node.
Cisco recommends that you take care to save the node database to safe location if you are not restoring the node using the database provided on the software CD.
Note The following parameters are not backed up and restored when you delete the database and restore the factory settings: node name, IP address, subnet mask and gateway, and IIOP port. If you change the node name and then restore a backed up database with a different node name, the circuits map to the new renamed node. Cisco recommends keeping a record of the old and new node names.
Step 1 If you are using Microsoft Windows, complete the "DLP-F278 Use the Reinitialization Tool to Clear the Database and Upload Software (Windows)" task.
Step 2 If you are using UNIX, complete the "DLP-F323 Use the Reinitialization Tool to Clear the Database and Upload Software (UNIX)" task.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-F225 Initiate an External Switching Command on an Optical Protection Group
Note If you choose a Manual switch, the command will switch traffic only if the path has an error rate less than the signal degrade bit error rate threshold. A Force switch will switch traffic even if the path has SD or SF conditions. A Force switch has a higher priority than a Manual switch. Lockouts can only be applied to protect cards; they prevent traffic from switching to the protect port under any circumstance. Lock outs have the highest priority. A lock on can be applied to the working port; it prevents traffic from switching to the protect port in the protection group.
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task at the node where you want to inhibit 1+1 group protection switching. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 Complete the "DLP-F238 Initiate a Manual Switch on a Port in a 1+1 Protection Group" task as needed.
Step 3 Complete the "DLP-F239 Initiate a Force Switch on a Port in a 1+1 Protection Group" task as needed.

Step 3 Ensure that the card you are replacing does not carry SNCP circuit traffic:
Note A port can be part of a 1+1 protection group or part of a SNCP, but it cannot be configured for both. However, different ports on one card can be configured in different ways. If you move all of the traffic off some 1+1 ports, you still need to check whether the remaining ports are carrying SNCP traffic.
a. From the View menu choose Go to Parent View.
b. Click the Circuits tab.
c. View the circuit source and destination ports and slots. If any circuits originate or terminate in the slot containing the card you are replacing, perform the "DLP-F235 Switch All SNCP Circuits on a Span" task or the "DLP-F347 Initiate an MS-SPRing Force Ring Switch" task.
Note If the card you are replacing is not configured for any port or circuit protection, but does carry traffic, bridge and roll this traffic onto another card. See the "NTP-F181 Bridge and Roll Traffic" procedure.
Step 4 Remove any fiber-optic cables from the ports.
Step 5 Physically remove the 4PIO or 1PIO that you want to replace from the ASAP card:
a. Loosen the screws at the top right and bottom left on the 1PIO or 4PIO module. (You can do this using a Phillips screwdriver or by hand.)
b. Slide the module out of the slot on the ASAP card.
Step 6 Physically replace the 4PIO or 1PIO module in the ASAP card:
a. Carefully slide the module along the top and bottom guide rails into the correct slot.
b. Use a Phillips screwdriver or your hand to tighten the screws at the top right and bottom left of the module.
Note When you replace a card with an identical type of card, you do not need to make any changes to the database.
Step 7 Clear the Force switches:
•To clear 1+1 Force switches, complete the "DLP-F295 Clear a Manual or Force Switch in a 1+1 Protection Group" task.
•To clear SNCP Force switches, complete the "DLP-F236 Clear a Switch for all SNCP Circuits on a Span" task.
•To clear MS-SPRing Force switches, complete the "DLP-F282 Clear an MS-SPRing Force Ring Switch" task.
Step 8 When the module is in service and receiving traffic, reset the module's physical receive power level threshold in CTC:
a. Double-click the newly installed module in CTC node view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Optical > Optics Thresholds tabs.
c. Click the Physical radio button.
d. Click Set OPR for each port on the card.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-F239 Replace a TSC Card
|
Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a module or a fan. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard. Statement 206
|
Note When an error is detected on a TSC card, the ONS 15600 SDH system switches control to the second TSC card; therefore, so it should not be necessary to change control when you replace the card.
Note You do not need to make any changes to the database if you are replacing it with a card of exactly the same type.
Note Card removal raises an improper removal (IMPROPRMVL) alarm, but this clears after the card replacement is completed.
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task at the node where you will replace the TSC card.
Step 2 To ensure that the card you are replacing is not the active TSC card, run the mouse over the card in CTC. If the card says Active, switch it to Standby:
a. Right-click the active TSC card to reveal the shortcut menu.
b. Click Soft-reset Card.
c. Click Yes when the confirmation dialog box appears.
d. Click OK when the "Lost connection to node, changing to Network View" dialog box appears.
Note The TSC card takes several minutes to reboot. See Table 2-1 for more information about LED behavior during TSC card reboots.
Note Whenever TSC cards are changed from active to standby, it takes approximately 12 minutes to completely synchronize to the new system clock source due to the more accurate Stratum 3E timing module being adopted.
Step 3 Confirm that the TSC card you reset is in standby mode after the reset.
A TSC card that is ready for service has a green SRV LED illuminated. An active TSC card has a green ACT STBY LED illuminated, but a standby card does not have this LED illuminated.
Tip If you run the cursor over the TSC card in CTC, a popup displays the card's status (whether active or standby).
Step 4 Physically remove the card you want to replace from the ONS 15600 SDH:
a. Open the card ejectors.
b. Slide the card out of the slot.
Step 5 Insert the replacement TSC card into the empty slot:
a. Open the ejectors on the replacement card.
b. Slide the replacement card into the slot along the guide rails until it contacts the backplane.
c. Close the ejectors.
Step 6 If you want to make the replaced TSC card active, complete Steps 2b through 2d again.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-F240 Replace a Fan Tray
Do not force a fan tray into place. Forcing a fan tray can damage the connectors on the fan tray or the connectors on the back panel of the shelf assembly.
The center fan tray (tray 2) in the ONS 15600 SDH shelf is the most critical tray because it cools the common control cards. If both fans in this tray are inoperative, CTC initiates a five-minute countdown to shut down one of the SSXC cards. You should swap a working fan tray (tray 1 or 3) with tray 2 as soon as possible to prevent equipment damage.
When a fan tray is removed from a shelf assembly, it momentarily creates the same situation that occurs if two fans in a single tray fail. In this situation (that is, the system is running on two fans), CTC software begins a five-minute countdown before shutting down SSXC card operation in order to protect the cards. Replace the fan tray in the shelf assembly as quickly as possible to avoid SSXC card shutdown.
Note The ONS 15600 SDH system requires at least one working fan in each of the three fan trays. When a single fan in a tray fails, Cisco recommends replacing the tray with a fully working tray as soon as practically possible. To replace a fan tray, it is not necessary to move any of the cable management facilities.
Note Each fan tray contains two fans. The FAN LED indicates if one or both fans fail in a fan tray.
Step 1 Lift the latch on the fan tray that you want to replace, and pull the fan tray away from the shelf assembly.
Step 2 Insert the new fan tray in the shelf assembly.
Step 3 Press the latch down to secure the fan tray.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-F241 Replace the Customer Access Panel
Note The 15600 SDH node is viewable only when CTC is connected to its front panel. You will not be able to view any other node that is connected to the ONS 15600 SDH through a DCC.
Step 1 Remove any tie wraps and cables attached to the CAP/CAP2 (Figure 14-5).
Figure 14-5 CAP/CAP2 Faceplate and Connections
Step 2 Remove the pin-field card, leaving the wires attached if possible. (If this is not possible, remove and label the wires.)
Step 3 To remove the CAP/CAP2:
a. Remove the 14 screws on the left and right sides of the CAP/CAP2 using a 3/16-inch (4.76-mm) socket.
b. Remove the 17 nuts on the top and bottom of the CAP/CAP2 using a 1/4-inch (6.35-mm) socket.
c. Loosen the center bolt using a 7/16-inch (11.113-mm) socket. This creates an extraction force on the connectors to successfully unmate them.
d. Pull the CAP/CAP2 off of the alignment pins.
Step 4 Place the replacement CAP/CAP2 over the alignment pins on the backplane and tighten the center bolt using a 7/16-inch (11.113-mm) socket. This creates an insertion force that successfully mates the connectors.
Step 5 Verify that the CAP/CAP2 cover is contacting the rear cover around the CAP/CAP2 perimeter.
Step 6 Replace the CAP/CAP2 screws and tighten to the specified torque (6 to 7 foot pounds).
Step 7 If you removed the wire-wrap wires from the pin field card, replace them on the pin field according to their labeled positions. If you removed the pin field card with the wires intact, reinstall the pin field card.
Step 8 Replace the tie wraps and cables.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-F242 Remove a Power Distribution Unit

NTP-F244 Edit Network Element Defaults
Note For a list of card and node default settings, refer to the "Network Element Defaults" appendix in the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual. To change card settings individually (that is, without changing the defaults), see Chapter 10 "Change Card Settings." To change node settings, see Chapter 11 "Change Node Settings."
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task at the node where you want to edit NE defaults.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Defaults tabs.
Step 3 Under Defaults Selector, choose a card type (if editing card-level defaults), CTC (if editing CTC defaults), or NODE (if editing node-level defaults). Clicking on the node name (at the top of the Defaults Selector column) lists all available NE defaults in the Default Name column. To selectively display just the defaults for a given card type, for node-level, or for CTC-level, you can drill down the Defaults Selector menu structure.
Step 4 Locate a default you want to change under Default Name.
Step 5 Click in the Default Value column for the default property you are changing and either choose a value from the drop-down menu (when available), or type in the desired new value.
Note If you click Reset before you click Apply, all values will return to their original settings.
Step 6 Click Apply (click in the Default Name column to activate the Apply button if it is unavailable). You can modify multiple default values before applying the changes.
A pencil icon will appear next to any default value that will be changed as a result of editing the defaults file.
Step 7 If you are modifying node-level defaults, a dialog box appears telling you that applying defaults for node level attributes overrides current provisioning and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.
If you are modifying the IIOP Listener Port setting, a dialog box appears warning you that the node will reboot and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.
Note Changes to most node defaults reprovision the node when you click Apply. Changes made to card settings using the Defaults Editor do not change the settings for cards that are already installed or slots that are preprovisioned for cards, but rather, change only cards that are installed or preprovisioned thereafter. To change settings for installed cards or pre-provisioned slots, see Chapter 10 "Change Card Settings."
Note Changing some NE defaults can cause CTC disconnection or a reboot of the node in order for the default to take effect. Before you change a default, view the Side Effects column of the Defaults editor (right-click a column header and select Show Column > Side Effects) and be prepared for the occurrence of any side effects listed for that default.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-F245 Import Network Element Defaults
Note For a list of card and node default settings, refer to the "Network Element Defaults" appendix in the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Defaults tabs.
Step 3 Click Import.
Step 4 Click Browse and browse to the file you are importing if the correct file name and location of the desired file do not appear in the Import Defaults from File dialog box.
Step 5 When the correct file name and location appear in the dialog box, click OK. (The correct file name is 15600SDH-defaults.txt if you are importing the factory defaults.)
A pencil icon will appear next to any default value that will be changed as a result of importing the new defaults file.
Step 6 Click Apply.
Step 7 If the imported file fails to pass all edits, the problem field shows the first encountered problem default value that must be fixed. Change the problem default value and click Apply. Repeat until the imported file passes all edits successfully.
Step 8 If you are modifying node-level defaults, a dialog box appears telling you that applying defaults for node level attributes overrides current provisioning and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.
If you are modifying the IIOP Listener Port setting, a dialog box appears warning you that the node will reboot and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.
Note Changes to most node defaults reprovision the node when you click Apply. Changes made to card settings using the Defaults Editor do not change the settings for cards that are already installed or slots that are preprovisioned for cards, but rather, change only cards that are installed or preprovisioned thereafter. To change settings for installed cards or pre-provisioned slots, see Chapter 10 "Change Card Settings."
Note Changing some NE defaults can cause CTC disconnection or a reboot of the node in order for the default to take effect. Before you change a default, view the Side Effects column of the Defaults editor (right-click a column header and select Show Column > Side Effects) and be prepared for the occurrence of any side effects listed for that default.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
