NoteThe terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.

Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where
access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or
other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Voltageis present on the backplane when the systemis operating. Toreducerisk ofan electric shock,
keep hands and fingers out of the power supply bays and backplane areas.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fibercable or connector.Do
not stare into the beam or view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with
certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers,and microscopes) within a distance
of100 mm may pose an eye hazard. Use of controls or adjustments or performance ofprocedures other
than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
OC48/STM16 LR/LH 16 Port 1550 Card
The OC48/STM16 LR/LH 16 Port 1550 card provides 16 long-range, Telcordia-compliant, GR-253
SONET OC-48 ports per card. The ports operate at 2488.320 Mbps over a single-mode fiber span. The
OC48/STM16 LR/LH 16 Port 1550 card has four physical connector adapters with eight fibers per
connector adapter. The card supports STS-1 payloads and concatenated payloads at STS-3c, STS-12c,
STS-24c, or STS-48c signal levels.
OC48/STM16 LR/LH 16Port 1550 Slots and Connectors
You can install OC48/STM16 LR/LH 16 Port 1550 cards in slots 1 through 4 and 11 through 14. The
card provides four bidirectional OGI type connector adapters on the faceplate (angled downward), each
carrying eight fiber strands (4 transmit and 4 receive).
NoteSONET path PMs will not count unless IPPM is enabled. For additional information, see the Enabling
Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring section in the Cisco ONS 15600 Procedure Guide. To
monitor the SONET path PMs log into the far-end node directly.

a. In the node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
b. Choose the first group listed under Protection Groups.
c. Verify that the slot number for the card you are replacing does not appear in the Selected Groups
list. For example, if you are replacing the OC-48 card in slot 3, make sure that Selected Groups does
not contain any entries that start with s3, regardless of the port.
d. Repeat Steps b and c for each protection group.
e. If any of the groups contain a port on the card you want to replace, perform the “Force-Switch 1+1
Ports” task on page 10.

Step 3Ensure that the card you are replacing does carry path protection circuit traffic.
NoteA port can be part of a 1+1 protection group or part of a path protection, but it cannot be
configuredfor both. However, different ports on one card can be configured in different ways. If
you move all of the traffic off some 1+1 ports, you still need to check whether the remaining
ports are carrying path protection traffic.
a. In the CTC node view, click View > Go to Parent View.
b. Click the Circuits tab.
c. View the circuit source and destination ports and slots. If any circuits originate or terminate in the
slot containing the card you are replacing, perform the “Force-Switch Path Protection Paths” task
on page 10.
NoteIf the card you are replacing is not configured for any port or circuit protection, but does
carry traffic, bridge and roll this traffic onto another card. Follow the “Bridge and Roll
Traffic” procedure in the Cisco ONS 15600 Procedure Guide.
Step 4Remove any fiber optic cables from the ports.
Step 5Physically remove the card to be replaced from the ONS 15600 shelf:
a. Open the card ejectors.
b. Slide the card out of the slot.
Step 6Physically replace the OC-48 card in the shelf:
a. Open the ejectors on the replacement card.
b. Slide the replacement card into the slot along the guide rails until it contacts the backplane.
c. Close the ejectors.

NoteWhen you replace a card with an identical type of card, you do not need to make any changes
to the database.
Step 7Clear the Force switches.
• To clear 1+1 Force switches, complete the “Clear a 1+1 Force Switch” task on page 11.
• To clear Path Protection Force switches, complete the “Clear a Path Protection Force Switch” task
on page 11.
Step 8Once the card is placed in service and is receiving traffic, reset the card’s physical receive power level
threshold in CTC:
a. Double-click the newly installed card in CTC node view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Threshold tabs.
c. Click the Physical radio button.
d. Click Set OPM for each port on the card.

Force-Switch Path Protection Paths
PurposeThis procedure forces all circuits in a path protection from one span to
the other. It is used to remove traffic from a card that originates or
terminates path protection circuits.
NoteThe Force switch is performed even if the destination path is degraded.
Step 1In the CTC node view, click View > Go to Network View if this view is not already displayed.
Step 2Click the Circuits tab.
Step 3Note, print, or export the list of circuits from this tab, and mark the circuits involving the slot containing
the card you are replacing.
For information about doing this from CTC, refer to the procedures in the
Cisco ONS 15600 Procedure Guide.
