Product Overview

Figure 1. Cisco ONS 15454 TCC2 Card

Features and Benefits

• 84 section DCC (SDCC) and multiplex section DCC (MSDCC) terminations1 allow the interconnection of multiring and linear systems on a

• single shelf assembly, reducing networking costs.

• 84 SDCC tunnels or SDCC-to-line DCC (LDCC) tunnels provide interface flexibility for transparent transport of third-party DCC overhead channels.

• Integrated system input-voltage monitoring facilitates proactive identification of DC power-system issues.

• Time-and-date clock recovery after brownout or power loss prevents clock reprogramming.

• Complete shelf lamp test through faceplate pushbutton simplifies technician LED maintenance testing.

• Local and remote craft user access allows technicians to access nodes from anywhere.

• Local audible alarm cutoff squelches office audible or visual alert systems.

• Enhanced security capabilities through provisionable Ethernet ports allow better control over system- and network-level access.

• HW readiness for for 64-kHz+8-kHz composite timing inputs and 6-MHz composite timing support.

Summary

• Multiservice capabilities - The Cisco ONS 15454 provides support for TDM-based, private-line interfaces (DS-1/E1, DS-3/E3, and OC-3/STM-1 through OC-192/STM-64) along with advanced 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet and future storage area network (SAN) interfaces, thus simplifying a service provider's migration to new revenue opportunities and an enterprise's multiple technology transport needs.

• Integrated, flexible optical networking - Optical transport speeds from OC-3/STM-1 to multiwavelength OC-192/STM-64 are supported to allow the proper level of bandwidth to be deployed for the user application. Supporting in-service bandwidth upgrades and an integrated span upgrade wizard, the Cisco ONS 15454 allows the user to keep pace with growing network demands.

• Flexible architecture - The Cisco ONS 15454 supports ring, linear point-to-point, linear add/drop multiplexer (ADM), and mesh networking topologies to employ many technologies, including 2- and 4-fiber bidirectional line switched ring (BLSR) and multiplex section subnetwork protection ring (MS-SPR) with protection channel access, unidirectional path switched ring (UPSR) and subnetwork connection protection (SNCP), linear automatic protection switching (APS) and subnetwork connection (SNC), and Path Protected Mesh Networking (PPMN SONET only). Networks can be built using a combination of architectures and protection technologies to meet the needs of the defined services to be transported or delivered.

• Comprehensive and efficient network management - A full complement of TDM, SONET, and Ethernet statistics are provided to allow for the proper operation maintenance of the network. Additionally, network management is simplified through a common Data Communications Network (DCN) connection and user access to TDM, Ethernet and optical operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning functions.

• Competitive first- and long-term costs - Advanced capabilities are only practical when a system is affordable enough to deploy and deliver a return on the investment. The Cisco ONS 15454 was designed for ease of use, therefore speeding installation time, decreasing personnel training requirements, and simplifying equipment maintenance. An integrated browser-based, point-and-click, craft user interface allows even an untrained user to quickly set up and provision services across an entire network using helpful networkwide provisioning wizards.
