Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Product Overview
In-Service Span Upgrades
Service States
ONS 15454 SDH cards, ports, and circuits can be placed in any of the following
service states:
• In Service (IS)—The card, port, or circuit is fully available for operation
(working or protect).
• Out of Service (OOS)—The card, port, or circuit is not available for
operation.
• Out of Service for Maintenance (OOS-MT)—The port or circuit has been
temporarily taken out of service for maintenance. Alarms are not reported
autonomously, but they can be retrieved. This state is not available for cards.
• Out of Service—Auto In Service (OOS-AINS)—The card, port, or circuit is
currently out of service, but will automatically be placed in service when a
valid card is plugged into the preprovisioned slot and fully initialized.
Use the CTC Provisioning >Line tabs or the CTC Maintenance > Line tabs to
transition ports from state to state. The user can also transition the port into
different states from the State tab in the Edit Circuit window.
In-Service Span Upgrades
A span is the optical-fiber connection between two ONS 15454 SDH nodes. In a
span upgrade, the transmission rate of a span is upgraded from a lower to a higher
STM-N signal. All other span configuration attributes remain unchanged. With
multiple nodes, a span upgrade is a coordinated series of upgrades on all nodes in
the ring or protection group. You can perform in-service span upgrades for the
following ONS 15454 SDH cards:
• STM-4 to STM-16
• STM-4 to STM-64
• STM-16 to STM-64
To perform a span upgrade, the higher-rate optical card must replace the
lower-rate card in the same slot. The protection configuration of the original
lower-rate optical card (two-fiber MS-SPRing, four-fiber MS-SPRing, SNCP, or
1+1) is retained by the higher-rate optical card. The Span Upgrade Wizard
automates the span upgrade procedure for all protection configurations.
