indicate.
PSMs
The PSM (protection switch module) provides trunk fiber protection for Cisco ONS 15530 systems
configured in point-to-point topologies. The PSM sends the signal from an OADM module, an ITU trunk
card, or a transponder line card to both the west and east directions. It receives both the west and east signals
and sends to the OADM module, ITU trunk card, or transponder line card. Both nodes in the network topology
must have the same shelf configuration.When a trunk fiber cut occurs on the active path, the PSM switches
the received signal to the standby path. Because the PSM occupies one of the OADM subslots in the shelf, it
protects a maximum of four channels and the OSC in a single shelf configuration.
The PSM also has an optical monitor port for testing the west and east receive signals. This port samples
one percent of these signals, which can be monitored with an optical power meter or an optical spectrum
analyzer.
A PSM can be installed in subslots 0/0 and 0/1 of the Cisco ONS 15530 chassis.
