Line
The Line subtab allows you to provision the card and port line parameters. For a list of ONS nodes and cards that support this subtab, see Provisioning.
Note
The fields shown in card view depend on the ONS node and card type; not all fields described below will appear for each card.
 
Item
Description
Port
Displays the card port number.
Port Name
Allows you to enter a port name.
Admin State
Sets the port administration state. Choose an administrative state from the drop-down list and click Apply to change the port service state unless network conditions prevent the change.
Administrative states include:
 •
IS—Puts the port in-service. The port service state changes to In-Service and Normal (IS-NR).
 •
OOS,DSBLD—Removes the port from service and disables it. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled (OOS-MA,DSBLD).
 •
OOS,MT—Removes the port from service for maintenance. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT). For loopbacks, the OOS,MT admin state must be initiated.
 •
IS,AINS—Puts the port in automatic in-service. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS).
Note
CTC will not allow you to change a port service state from IS-NR to OOS-MA,DSBLD. You must first change a port to the OOS-MA,MT service state before putting it in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state.
Service State
Shows the autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Primary State-Primary State Qualifier, Secondary State. For additional state information, see States.
SF BER
Sets the signal failure bit error rate.
SD BER
Sets the signal degrade bit error rate.
ProvidesSync
If checked, provisions the card as a network element (NE) timing reference.
SyncMsgIn
Enables synchronization status messages (S1 byte), which allow the node to choose the best timing source.
SyncStatusMsg
Click Show to view the synchronization status message (SSM):
 •
PRS—Primary Reference Source (Stratum 1)
 •
ST2—Stratum 2
 •
TNC—Transit node clock
 •
ST3E—Stratum 3E
 •
ST3—Stratum 3
 •
SMC—SONET minimum clock
 •
ST4—Stratum 4
 •
DUS—Do not use
Band
(Does not apply to all cards) Sets the available band.
Wavelength
Sets the wavelength frequency.
Admin SSM In
If the node does not receive a SSM signal, it defaults to STU (synchronization traceability unknown). Admin SSM allows you to override the STU value with one of the following:
 •
PRS—Primary Reference Source (Stratum 1)
 •
ST2—Stratum 2
 •
TNC—Transit node clock
 •
ST3E—Stratum 3E
 •
ST3—Stratum 3
 •
SMC—SONET minimum clock
 •
ST4—Stratum 4
Send <FF> DoNotUse
When checked, sends a special DUS (0xff) (do not use) message on the S1 byte.
Send DoNotUse
When checked, sends a DUS (do not use) message on the S1 byte.
PJSTSMon#
Sets the synchronous transport signal (STS) that will be used for monitoring pointer justification. If set to zero, no STS is used.
Port Rate
(Does not apply to all cards) Displays the port rate set for the pluggable port module (PPM).
AINS Soak
Sets the automatic in-service soak timer, which sets the time left before the traffic/termination transitions to the IS-NR service state.
Type
Provisions the card for SONET or SDH. Enable Sync Msg and Send Do Not Use must be disabled before the port can be set to SDH.
BLSR Ext. Byte
Remaps the extended byte that carries information governing bidirectional line switched ring (BLSR) protection switches. The K3 byte should not be changed unless specifically required to run an ONS BLSR through third-party equipment.
Reach
Provisions the reach value. You can also choose Auto Provision, which allows the system to automatically provision the reach from the PPM reach value on the hardware. The reach distances follow (the options that appear in the drop-down list depend on the card):
 •
SR (short reach, up to 2-km distance)
 •
SR-1 (up to 2-km distance)
 •
IR-1 (intermediate reach, up to 15-km distance)
 •
IR-2 (up to 40-km distance)
 •
LR-1 (long reach, up to 40-km distance)
 •
LR-2 (up to 80-km distance)
 •
LR-3 (up to 80-km distance)
ALS Mode
Provisions automatic laser shutdown:
 •
Disable—ALS is off; the laser is not automatically shut down when traffic outages (loss of signal [LOS]) occur.
 •
Auto Restart—ALS is on; the laser automatically shuts down when traffic outages (LOS) occur. It automatically restarts when the conditions that caused the outage are resolved.
 •
Manual Restart—ALS is on; the laser automatically shuts down when traffic outages (LOS) occur. However, the laser must be manually restarted when conditions that caused the outage are resolved.
 •
Manual Restart for Test—Manually restarts the laser for testing.
Apply
Applies changes made to the fields in the tab.
Reset
Cancels any changes to the tab and returns the fields to their last-saved settings.
Help
Displays context-sensitive help.
