Chapter 2 CTC Operations on the ML-Series Card
Displaying SONET Alarms
The Provisioning > POS Ports tab displays the following information:
• Port #—Fixed number identifier for the specific port.
• Port Name—Configurable 12-character alphanumeric identifier for the port.
• Admin State—Configured administrative port state, which is active or inactive. Possible values are
UP and DOWN. For the UP value to appear, a POS port must be both administratively active and
have a SONET/SDH circuit provisioned.
• PSAS—A check indicates alarm suppression is set on the port for the time designated in the Soak
Time column.
• Soak Time—Desired soak time in hours and minutes. Use this column when you have checked PSAS
to suppress alarms. Once the port detects a signal, the countdown begins for the designated soak
time. Soak time hours can be set from 0 to 48. Soak time minutes can be set from 0 to 45 in 15 minute
increments.
• MTU—The maximum transfer unit, which is the largest acceptable packet size for that port. This
value cannot be configured on the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and the Cisco ONS 15310-MA ML-Series
card.
• Link State—Status between signaling points at the port and an attached device. Possible values are
UP and DOWN.
• Framing Type- HDLC or frame-mapped generic framing procedure (GFP-F) framing type shows the
POS framing mechanism being employed on the port
Displaying SONET Alarms
To view SONET alarms on the ML-Series card, click the Alarms tab.
CTC manages the ML-Series card SONET alarm behavior in the same manner as it manages alarm
behavior for other Cisco ONS 15310-CL and the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SONET traffic. Click the
Provisioning > Alarm Profiles tabs for the Ethernet and POS port alarm profile information. Refer to
the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for detailed information.
Displaying J1 Path Trace
The J1 Path Trace is a repeated, fixed-length string comprised of 64 consecutive J1 bytes. You can use
the string to monitor interruptions or changes to SONET circuit traffic. Click the Maintenance >
Path Trace tabs for the J1 Path Trace information.
For information on J1 Path Trace, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.
Provisioning SONET Circuits
CTC provisions and edits STS level circuits for the two POS ports of the ML-Series card in the same
manner as it provisions other Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA SONET OC-N cards.
The ONS 15310-CL ML-Series card supports both contiguous concatenation (CCAT) and virtual
concatenation (VCAT) circuits. Refer to the “Create Circuits” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454
Procedure Guide to create SONET STS circuits.
