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 of the fields that are described in the following table will appear for each card.
 
Item
Description
Port
The card port number.
Port Name
Allows you to enter a port name.
Admin State
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:
 •
unlocked: Puts the port in service. The port service state changes to unlocked-enabled.
 •
locked,disabled: Removes the port from service and disables it. The port service state changes to locked-enabled,disabled.
 •
locked,maintenance: Removes the port from service for maintenance. The port service state changes to locked-enabled,maintenance.
 •
unlocked,automaticInService: Puts the port in automatic in-service. The port service state changes to unlocked-disabled,automaticInService.
Service State
An autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: AdministrativeState-OperationalState, StatusAttribute. For additional state information, see States.
SF BER
Sets the signal failure (SF) bit error rate (BER).
SD BER
Sets the signal degrade (SD) BER.
Provides Sync
If checked, the card is provisioned as a network element (NE) timing reference.
Sync Msg In
Enables synchronization status messages (S1 byte), which allow the node to choose the best timing source.
Type
Allows you to provision the STM-N cards for SDH or SONET. The MRC-12 card displays this field, but does not allow changes.
Send Do Not Use
When checked, sends a DUS (do not use) message on the S1 byte.
MS-SPRing Ext. Byte
Allows you to change the multiplex section-shared protection ring (MS-SPRing) extension byte to K3, Z2, E2, or F1. The MRC-12 card displays this field, but does not allow changes.
AINS Soak
Automatic in-service soak. The determination of duration left before the traffic/termination transitions to unlocked-enabled service state.
SyncStatusMsg
If the node does not receive an SSM signal, it defaults to STU (synchronization traceability unknown). Admin SSM allows you to override the STU value with one of the following: G811, STU, G812T, G812L, SETS, or DUS. The Admin SSM is a list of all SSM levels. You cannot select Admin SSM In if Sync Message In is enabled on the card.
Send <FF> DoNotUse
When checked, sends a DUS (do not use) message that allows the S1 byte to be set with 0xFF.
PJVC4Mon#
Allows you to set the VC4 that will be used for monitoring pointer justification. If set to zero, no VC4 is used.
ALS Mode
Allows you to provision the automatic laser shutdown (ALS):
 •
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: Used to manually restart the laser for testing.
Port Rate
The data rate (data type or payload) provisioned for the port.
Reach
Allows you to provision 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)
Band
Sets the available band.
Wavelength
Allows you to set the wavelength of the optical transmitter. You can set the wavelength to the First Tunable Wavelength or to further wavelengths in 100 GHz ITU spacing.
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.
