Use the General subtab to provision identification information for the node, including the node name, a
contact name and phone number, the location of the node, and the date, time, and time zone.

|
|
Sets the node name/target ID. For TL1 compliance, the name should have no more than 20 alphanumeric characters.
|
|
Sets the name of the node contact person and the phone number, up to 255 characters.
|
|
Sets the node latitude: N (North) or S (South), degrees, and minutes.
|
|
Sets the node longitude: E (East) or W (West), degrees, and minutes. Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) uses the latitude and longitude to position ONS node icons on the network view map.
|
|
Describes the node. The description can be a maximum of 255 characters.

Use NTP/SNTP Server —If Use NTP/SNTP Server is checked, the IP address of an NTP/SNTP server or another ONS node that has NTP/SNTP Server enabled is entered. If another ONS node is referenced, the second ONS node must reference an NTP/SNTP server and not the first ONS node. |
• |
Backup NTP/SNTP Server —Type the IP address of the secondary NTP/SNTP server connected to the ONS 15454. When the primary NTP/SNTP server fails, the node uses the secondary NTP/SNTP server to synchronize its date and time. |
• |
Date (M/D/Y) —If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not checked, enter the current date in the format m/d/y, for example, 11/28/2006. |
• |
Time (H:M:S) —If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not checked, the node uses the time entered here in the format h:m:s, for example, 11:24:58. The ONS node uses a 24-hour clock, so 10:00 PM is entered as 22:00:00. |
• |
Time Zone —Sets the node time zone. The drop-down list shows the 80 World Time Zones from GMT-11 through GMT +14. Continental United States time zones are GMT-05:00 (Eastern), GMT-06:00 (Central), GMT-07:00 (Mountain), and GMT-08:00 (Pacific). |
• |
Use Daylight Savings Time —If checked, indicates that the time zone chosen in Time Zone is using Daylight Savings Time. |

AIS-V insertion on STS-1 SD-P
|
(ONS 15454 only) If checked, VT alarm indication signals (AIS-Vs) are inserted on VT circuits carried by STS-1s when the STS-1 crosses its SD-P BER threshold. On protected circuits, traffic is switched. If the switch cannot be performed, or if circuits are not protected, traffic is dropped when the STS-1 SD-P bit error rate (BER) threshold is reached.
|
|
(ONS 15454 only) If Insert AIS-V on STS-1 SD-P is checked, it sets the SD-P BER level. The valid range is from 1E-5 to 1E-9.
