8.5.3 Card View
There are four possible combinations for the appearance of DCCs: green/solid, green/dashed, gray/solid,
or gray/dashed. DCC appearance corresponds to the following states: active/routable,
active/nonroutable, failed/routable, or failed/nonroutable. Circuit provisioning uses active/routable
links.
8.5.2.4 Link Consolidation
CTC provides the ability to consolidate the DCC, general communications channel (GCC), optical
transport section (OTS), provisionable patchcord (PPC), and server trail links shown in the network view
into a more streamlined view. Link consolidation allows you to condense multiple inter-nodal links into
a singular link. The link consolidation sorts links by class, meaning that all DCC links are consolidated
together, for example.You can access individual links within consolidated links using the right-click
shortcut menu.
Each link has an associated icon (Table 8-12).
Note Link consolidation is only available on non-detailed maps. Non-detailed maps display nodes in icon
form instead of detailed form, meaning the nodes appear as rectangles with ports on the sides. Refer to
the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide for more information about consolidated links.
8.5.3 Card View
Card view provides information about individual ONS 15454 SDH cards (Figure 8-7). Use this window
to perform card-specific maintenance and provisioning. A graphic showing the ports on the card is
shown in the graphic area. The status area displays the node name, slot, number of alarms, card type,
equipment type, and the card status (active or standby), card state if the card is present, or port state
(Table 8-6 on page 8-9). The information that appears and the actions you can perform depend on the
card. For more information about card service states, see Appendix B, “Administrative and Service
States.”
