Cisco ONS 15530 Overview
The Cisco ONS 15530 is a modular and scalable optical switching and
aggregationplatform designed to supplement the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP. Withthe
Cisco ONS 15530, users can take advantage of the availability of dark fiber to
build a common infrastructure that supports data, SAN (storage area network),
and TDM (time-division multiplexing) traffic. For more information about
DWDM technology and applications, refer to the Introduction to DWDM
Technology publication and the Cisco ONS 15530 Planning and Design Guide.
The Cisco ONS 15530 is designed to meet or exceed stringent ISP (Internet
service provider) requirements for product availability and reliability.
Note Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Regulatory
Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ONS 15500 Series for important
safety information you should know before working with the system.

OSC Modules and Carrier Motherboards
The OSC (optical supervisory channel) module supports an optional out-of-band
management channel for communicating between systems on the network. Using
a 33rd wavelength(channel 0), the OSC allows control and management trafficto
be carried without requiring a separate Ethernet connection to each Cisco ONS
15530 in the network. Up to two OSC modules can be installed in the carrier
motherboard, one module for the west direction and one for the east direction.
The OSC always terminates on a neighboring node. By contrast, data channels
may or may not be terminated on a givennode,depending on whether the channels
on the OADM modules are treated as either express (pass-through) or add/drop
channels.
Figure 1-12 shows the front panel of the OSC module.

The PSM (protection switch module) provides trunk fiber protection for Cisco
ONS 15530 systems configured in point-to-point topologies. The PSM sends the
DWDM signal from the OADM module to both the west and east directions. It
receives both the west and east signals and selects one to send to the OADM
module. When a trunk fiber cut occurs on the active path, the PSM switches the
received signal to the standby path. Since 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 optical spectrum analyzer.
A PSM can be installed in subslots 0/0 and 0/1 of the Cisco ONS 15530 chassis.
The PSM for the Cisco ONS 15530 has a front panel with four MU connector
pairs, as shown in Figure 1-13.

Transponder Line Cards
The protocol-transparent and bit-rate transparent transponder line card converts a
single client signal into an ITU wavelength, or channel. The transponder line
cards have tunable lasers and you can configure the line cards to work in two
different wavelengths. The Cisco ONS 15530 holds up to four transponder line
cards, one for each wavelength supported by the OADM modules.
The Cisco ONS 15530 supports four types of single client interface transponder
line cards: SM (single mode) unprotected, SM splitter protected,
MM (multimode) unprotected, and MM splitter protected. Both types of
SM transponder line cards accept SM client signals on the 1310-nm wavelength
through an SC connector and support client signal clock rates ranging from
16 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps. Both types of MM transponder line cards accept SM and
MM client signals on the 1310-nm wavelength through an SC connector and
support client signal clock rates ranging from 16 Mbps to 622 Mbps (see
Figure 1-14 and Figure 1-15).

a specific band of four ITU wavelengths. The OADM modules supported by the
Cisco ONS 15530 each add and drop a specified band of four channels at a node
and pass the other bands through. To support the 32-channel spectrum, there are
eight different 4-channel cards (see Figure 1-16).
In the transmit direction, the OADM modules multiplex signals transmitted by the
transponder line cards and 10G ITU trunk cards over optical cross connections
and provide the interfaces to connect the multiplexed signal to the DWDM trunk
side. In the receive direction, the OADM modules demultiplex the signals from
the trunk side before passing them over optical cross connections to the
transponder line cards and 10G ITU trunk cards.

ESCON Aggregation Cards
The ESCON aggregation card is a 10-port card for ESCON (Enterprise Systems
Connection) traffic. The ESCON card converts the 10 client signals from optical
to electrical and then aggregates them into a single 2.5-Gbps signal. This
aggregated signal is sent through the backplane and the active switch fabric to
either a 10G ITU trunk card or a 10-Gbps uplink card. The cross connection
between the two cards is configured using the CLI (command-line interface). The
ESCON aggregation card has a redundant backplane connection.
The ESCON aggregation card uses multi-mode 62.5/125 um optical cable with
SFPs (small form factor pluggables) and MT-RJ connectors for the client signals.
(See Figure 1-21.)
Cisco ONS 15530 Components
78-14228-02
Note The SFPs (part number 15500-XVRA-01A2 ONS 15530 ESCON-1310nm
MM-MTRJ) must be purchased separately.
Note A patch cable to adapt MT-RJ connectors to standard ESCON connectors directly
or intermediately to SC-type connectors may be required.
This signal is sent through the switch fabric to a 10G ITU trunk card or a 10-Gbps
uplink card. The 10Gbps ITU trunk card converts the aggregated signal to an
ITU-compliant wavelength, or channel. The 10-Gbps uplink card converts the
aggregated signal to transmit to another shelf.

8-Port FC/GE Aggregation Cards
The Cisco ONS 15530 supports a line card specifically for FC (Fibre Channel)
and GE (Gigabit Ethernet) traffic. The 8-port Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet
aggregation card accepts up to eight SFP (small form-factor pluggable) optics for
client traffic. Each SFP optic supports either FC or GE, depending on how it is
configuredin the CLI. The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card converts client signals
from two adjacent port pairs (0–1, 2–3, 4–5, or 6–7) from optical form to
electrical form, and then aggregates them into four 2.5-Gbps signals. These
aggregated signals pass through the backplane and the switch fabric on the active
CPU switch module to a 2.5-Gbps ITU trunk card, a 10-Gbps ITU trunk card, or
a 10-Gbps uplink card. The cross connections between the two cards through the
backplane and switch fabric are configured using the CLI. The 8-port FC/GE
aggregation card has redundant connections over the backplane to the switch
fabric on the active and standby CPU switch modules.
Note The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card also supports FICON trafficc at 1 Gbps.

Note We strongly recommend configuringport pairs as FC only or GE only.Mixing
FC and GE in a port pair increases the FC signal latency between nodes.
The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card uses single-mode and multimode SFP optics
for the client signals. There are no restrictions on populating the line card with
SFPs. For example, you can mix a single-mode SFP optic with a multimode SFP
optic in the same port pair. Table 1-12 lists features for the SFP optics supported
by the 8-port FC/GE aggregation card.
