OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following inform ation is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Shelf and FMEC Hardware
This chapter provides a description of Cisco ONS 15454 SDH shelf and backplane hardware. Card and
cable descriptions are provided in Chapter 2, “Common Control Cards,”Chapter 3, “Electrical Cards,”
Chapter 4, “Optical Cards,” and Chapter 14, “Ethernet Operation.” To install equipment, refer to the
• 1.13 Software and Hardware Compatibility, page 1-18
NoteThe Cisco ONS 15454 SDH assembly is intended for use with telecommunications equipment only.
CautionUnused card slots should be filled with a blank faceplate (Cisco P/N 15454E-BLANK). The blank
faceplate ensures proper airflow when operating the ONS 15454 SDH without the front door attached,
although Cisco recommends that the front door remain attached.
1.1 Overview
When installed in an equipment rack, the ONS 15454 SDH assembly is typically connected to a fuse and
alarm panel to provide centralized alarm connection points and distributed power for the
ONS 15454 SDH. Fuse and alarm panels are third-party equipment and are not described in this
April 2008
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual, R5.0
1-1
1.1 Overview
Chapter 1 Shelf and FMEC Hardware
documentation. If you are unsure about the requirements or specifications for a fuse and alarm panel,
consult the user documentation for the related equipment. The front door of the ONS 15454 SDH allows
access to the shelf assembly, fan-tray assembly, and cable-management area. The FMEC cover at the top
of the shelf allows access to power connectors, external alarms and controls, timing input and output,
and craft interface terminals.
You can mount the ONS 15454 SDH in an ETSI rack. The shelf assembly weighs approximately 26 kg
(57 pounds) with no cards installed. The shelf assembly includes a front door and a Front Mount
Electrical Connection (FMEC) cover for added security, a fan tray module for cooling, and extensive
cable-management space.
All ONS 15454 SDH optical cards have SC connectors on the card faceplate, except the
STM-1SH 1310-8 card, which has LC connectors. Fiber-optic cables are routed into the front of the
optical and Ethernet cards. Electrical cards (E-1, E-3, DS3i, STM-1E) require FMEC cards to provide
the cable connection points for the shelf assembly.
The ONS 15454 SDH is powered using –48VDC power. Negative, return, and ground power terminals
are connected via the MIC-A/P and the MIC-C/T/P cards.
NoteIn this chapter, the terms “ONS 15454 SDH” and “shelf assembly” are used interchangeably. In the
installation context, these terms have the same meaning. Otherwise, shelf assembly refers to the physical
steel enclosure that holds cards and connects power, and ONS 15454 SDH refers to the entire system,
both hardware and software.
Install the ONS 15454 SDH in compliance with your local and national electrical codes:
• United States: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70; United States National Electrical
Code
• Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1
• Other countries: If local and national electrical codes, are not available, refer to IEC 364, Part 1
through Part 7.

The Critical, Major, and Minor alarm LEDs visible through the front door indicate whether a critical,
major, or minor alarm is present anywhere on the ONS 15454 SDH. These LEDs must be visible so
technicians can quickly determine if any alarms are present. You can use the LCD to further isolate
alarms.
The ONS 15454 SDH features a locked door to the front compartment. A pinned hex key that unlocks
the front door ships with the ONS 15454 SDH. A button on the right side of the shelf assembly releases
the door. The front door provides access to the shelf assembly, cable-management tray, fan-tray
assembly, and LCD screen (Figure 1-2).

1.4 E1-75/120 Conversion Panel
You need an E1-75/120 conversion panel if you want to convert the balanced 120-ohm interfaces of the
E1-42 card and the corresponding FMECs to unbalanced 75-ohm interfaces.
The E1-75/120 contains eighty-four 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connectors (42 for transmit, 42 for receive)
to the customer side and two Molex 96-pin LFH connectors to the E1-42 FMEC 120-ohm side. Each of
the Molex 96-pin LFH connectors connects 21 inputs and 21 outputs. The E1-75/120 conversion panel
is intended to be used in digital distribution frames (DDFs), ETSI racks, and ANSI racks.
You can install the E1-75/120 conversion panel in the rack of your ONS 15454 SDH or in a nearby rack.
If you install the E1-75/120 conversion panel in a place where a longer cable is required, make sure that
the total cable loss of the balanced 120-ohm cable and the unbalanced 75-ohm cable does not exceed the
maximum allowed value. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual for details. To ensure
that the E1-75/120 conversion panel is secure, use one or two M6 mounting screws for each side of the
shelf assembly. Figure 1-6 on page 1-10 shows the rack-mounting for the E1-75/120 conversion panel.
NoteIf required, the mounting brackets of the E1-75/120 conversion panel can be uninstalled, rotated
90 degrees, and reinstalled to enable 19-inch (482.6 mm) rack mounting.

Molex 96-pin LFH connectors Cisco offers ready-made cables.
1.7 Cable Routing and Management
The ONS 15454 SDH cable management facilities include the following:
• A cable-routing channel (behind the fold-down door) that runs the width of the shelf assembly,
Figure 1-7
• Plastic horseshoe-shaped fiber guides at each side opening of the cable-routing channel that ensure
the proper bend radius is maintained in the fibers, Figure 1-8 on page 1-12
NoteYou can remove the fiber guide if necessary to create a larger opening (if you need to route
CAT-5 Ethernet cables out the side, for example). To remove the fiber guide, take out the
three screws that anchor it to the side of the shelf assembly.
1.7 Cable Routing and Management
• A fold-down door that provides access to the cable-management tray
• Reversible jumper routing fins that enable you to route cables out either side by positioning the fins
as desired
NoteTo remove the jumper slack storage reels, take out the screw in the center of each reel.
• Optional fiber management tray (recommended for DWDM nodes)

2.2.1 TCC2 Card Functionality
2.2.1 TCC2 Card Functionality
The TCC2 card supports multichannel, high-level data link control (HDLC) processing for the
DCC/GCC. Up to 84 DCCs can be routed over the TCC2 card and up to 84 section DCCs can be
terminated at the TCC2 card (subject to the available optical digital communication channels). The
TCC2 card selects and processes 84 DCCs to facilitate remote system management interfaces.
The TCC2 card also originates and terminates a cell bus carried over the module. The cell bus supports
links between any two cards in the node, which is essential for peer-to-peer communication. Peer-to-peer
communication accelerates protection switching for redundant cards.
The node database, IP address, and system software are stored in TCC2 card nonvolatile memory, which
allows quick recovery in the event of a power or card failure.
The TCC2 card performs all system-timing functions for each ONS 15454 SDH. It monitors the
recovered clocks from each traffic card and two BITS ports for frequency accuracy. The TCC2 card
selects a recovered clock, a BITS, or an internal Stratum 3 reference as the system-timing reference. You
can provision any of the clock inputs as primary or secondary timing sources. A slow-reference tracking
loop allows the TCC2 card to synchronize with the recovered clock, which provides holdover if the
reference is lost.
The TCC2 card monitors both supply voltage inputs on the shelf. An alarm is generated if one of the
supply voltage inputs has a voltage outside of the specified range.
Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
Install TCC2 cards in Slots 7 and 11 for redundancy. If the active TCC2 card fails, traffic switches to the
protect TCC2 card. All TCC2 card protection switches conform to protection switching standards when
the bit error rate (BER) counts are not in excess of 1 * 10 exp – 3 and completion time is less than 50 ms.
The TCC2 card has two built-in interface ports for accessing the system: an RJ-45 10BaseT LAN
interface and an EIA/TIA-232 interface for local craft access. It also has a 10BaseT LAN port for user
interfaces via the backplane to the port accessible on the MIC-C/T/P Front Mount Electrical Connection
(FMEC).
Cisco does not support operation of the ONS 15454 SDH with only one TCC2 card. For full
functionality and to safeguard your system, always operate each ONS 15454 SDH with two TCC2 cards.
NoteCTC software does not monitor for the absence of FMECs unless the TCC2 card(s) have reached the
Active/Standby state. During transitional states such as power-up or TCC2 card reset, CTC ignores the
FMEC inventory displayed in node view.
NoteWhen a second TCC2 card is inserted into a node, it synchronizes its software, its backup software, and
its database with the active TCC2 card. If the software version of the new TCC2 card does not match the
version on the active TCC2 card, the newly inserted TCC2 card copies from the active TCC2 card, taking
about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. If the backup software version on the new TCC2 card does not match
the version on the active TCC2 card, the newly inserted TCC2 card copies the backup software from the
active TCC2 card again, taking about 15 to 20 minutes. Copying the database from the active TCC2 card
takes about 3 minutes. Depending on the software version and backup version the new TCC2 card started
with, the entire process can take between 3 and 40 minutes.

2.3.1 TCC2P Functionality
The TCC2P card supports multichannel, HDLC processing for the DCC. Up to 84 DCCs can be routed
over the TCC2P card and up to 84 section DCCs can be terminated at the TCC2P card (subject to the
available optical digital communication channels). The TCC2P selects and processes 84 DCCs to
facilitate remote system management interfaces.
The TCC2P also originates and terminates a cell bus carried over the module. The cell bus supports links
between any two cards in the node, which is essential for peer-to-peer communication. Peer-to-peer
communication accelerates protection switching for redundant cards.

2.7.2 External Alarms and Controls
Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
The AIC-I card provides input/output alarm contact closures. You can define up to 16 external alarm
inputs and four external alarm inputs/outputs (user configurable). The physical connections are made
using the MIC-A/P. The alarms are defined using CTC. For instructions, refer to the “Manage Alarms”
chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.
LEDs on the front panel of the AIC-I indicate the status of the alarm contacts: one LED representing all
the inputs and one LED representing all the outputs. External alarms (input contacts) are typically used
for external sensors such as open doors, temperature sensors, flood sensors, and other environmental
conditions. External controls (output contacts) are typically used to drive visual or audible devices such
as bells and lights, but they can control other devices such as generators, heaters, and fans.
You can program each of the sixteen input alarm contacts separately. Choices include:
• Alarm on Closure or Alarm on Open
• Alarm severity of any level (Critical, Major, Minor, Not Alarmed, Not Reported)
• Service Affecting or Non-Service Affecting alarm-service level
• 63-character alarm description for CTC display in the alarm log. You cannot assign the fan-tray
abbreviation for the alarm; the abbreviation reflects the generic name of the input contacts. The
alarm condition remains raised until the external input stops driving the contact or you unprovision
the alarm input.
You cannot assign the fan-tray abbreviation for the alarm; the abbreviation reflects the generic name of
the input contacts. The alarm condition remains raised until the external input stops driving the contact
or you provision the alarm input.
The output contacts can be provisioned to close on a trigger or to close manually. The trigger can be a
local alarm severity threshold, a remote alarm severity, or a virtual wire, as follows:
• Local NE alarm severity: A hierarchy of Not Reported, Not Alarmed, Minor, Major, or Critical
alarm severities that you set to cause output closure. For example, if the trigger is set to Minor, a
Minor alarm or above is the trigger.
2-18
• Remote NE alarm severity: Same as the local NE alarm severity but applies to remote alarms only.
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual, R5.0
April 2008
Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
• Virtual wire entities: You can provision any environmental alarm input to raise a signal on any
You can also program the output alarm contacts (external controls) separately. In addition to
provisionable triggers, you can manually force each external output contact to open or close. Manual
operation takes precedence over any provisioned triggers that might be present.
2.7.3 Orderwire
Orderwire allows a craftsperson to plug a phone set into an ONS 15454 SDH and communicate with
craftspeople working at other ONS 15454 SDHs or other facility equipment. The orderwire is a pulse
code modulation (PCM) encoded voice channel that uses E1 or E2 bytes in the multiplex section
overhead and in the regenerator section overhead.
The AIC-I allows simultaneous use of both local (section overhead signal) and express (line overhead
signal) orderwire channels on an SDH ring or particular optics facility. Express orderwire also allows
communication via regeneration sites when the regenerator is not a Cisco device.
You can provision orderwire functions with CTC similar to the current provisioning model for GCC
channels. In CTC, you provision the orderwire communications network during ring turn-up so that all
NEs on the ring can communicate with one another. Orderwire terminations (that is, the optics facilities
that receive and process the orderwire channels) are provisionable. Both express and local orderwire can
be configured as on or off on a particular SDH facility. The ONS 15454 SDH supports up to four
orderwire channel terminations per shelf. This allows linear, single ring, dual ring, and small
hub-and-spoke configurations. Keep in mind that orderwire is not protected in ring topologies such as
multiplex section-shared protection ring (MS-SPRing) and subnetwork connection protection (SNCP).
2.7.3 Orderwire
virtual wire on external outputs 1 through 4 when the alarm input is an event. You can provision a
signal on any virtual wire as a trigger for an external control output.
CautionDo not configure orderwire loops. Orderwire loops cause feedback that disables the orderwire channel.
The ONS 15454 SDH implementation of both local and express orderwire is broadcast in nature. The
line acts as a party line. Anyone who picks up the orderwire channel can communicate with all other
participants on the connected orderwire subnetwork. The local orderwire party line is separate from the
express orderwire party line. Up to four STM-N facilities for each local and express orderwire are
provisionable as orderwire paths.
NoteThe OC3 IR 4/STM1 SH 1310 card does not support the express orderwire (EOW) channel.
The AIC-I supports selective dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) dialing for telephony connectivity,
which causes specific or all ONS 15454 SDH AIC-Is on the orderwire subnetwork to “ring.” The
ringer/buzzer resides on the AIC-I. There is also a “ring” LED that mimics the AIC-I ringer. It flashes
when a call is received on the orderwire subnetwork. A party line call is initiated by pressing *0000 on
the DTMF pad. Individual dialing is initiated by pressing * and the individual four-digit number on the
DTMF pad. The station number of the node is provisioned in CTC.
The orderwire ports are standard RJ-11 receptacles. The pins on the orderwire ports correspond to the
tip and ring orderwire assignments.

separate RJ-11 connectors on the front of the AIC-I. Each UDC can be routed to an individual optical
interface in the ONS 15454 SDH system. For instructions, refer to th “Create Circuits and Low-Order

3.5.1 DS3i-N-12 Card Functionality
The DS3i-N-12 can detect several different errored logic bits within a DS-3 frame. This function lets the
ONS 15454 SDH identify a degrading DS-3 facility caused by upstream electronics (DS-3 Framer). In
addition, DS-3 frame format autodetection and J1 path trace are supported. By monitoring additional
overhead in the DS-3 frame, subtle network degradations can be detected.
The DS3i-n-12 can also aggregate DS3 and E1 traffic and transport it between SONET and SDH
networks through AU4/STS 3 trunks, with the ability to add and drop DS3s to an STS3 trunk at
intermediate nodes.
The following list summarizes the DS3i-N-12 card features:
• Provisionable framing format (M23, C-bit, or unframed)
• Autorecognition and provisioning of incoming framing
• VC-3 payload mapping as per ITU-T G.707
• Idle signal (“1100”) monitoring as per Telcordia GR-499-CORE
• P-bit monitoring

3.6.3 STM1E-12 Port-Level Indicators
You can find the status of the 12 STM1E-12 card ports using the LCD screen on the ONS 15454 SDH
fan-tray assembly. Use the LCD to view the status of any port or card slot; the screen displays the number
and severity of alarms for a given port or slot. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide for a complete description of the alarm messages.
3.7 BLANK Card
The BLANK card provides EMC emission control for empty interface card slots. It also provides a way
to close off the subrack front area, thus allowing air flow and convection to be maintained through the
subrack. Figure 3-6 shows the BLANK card faceplate.
CautionYou must install the BLANK card in every empty interface card slot to maintain EMC requirements of
the system and proper air flow.
