Port
|
The card port number.
|
Port Name
|
Allows you to enter a port name.
|
Admin State
|
The port administration state. Choosing an administrative state from the drop-down list and clicking Apply changes the port's service state unless network conditions prevent the change. Admin states include:
IS-Puts the port in-service. The port service state changes to IS-NR.
OOS,DSBLD-Removes the port from service and disables it. The port
service state changes to OOS-MA,DSBLD.
OOS,MT-Removes the port from service for maintenance. The port service
state changes to 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 OOS-AU,AINS.
|
Service State
|
An autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Primary State-Primary State Qualifier, Secondary State. Port service states include:
IS-NR-(In-Service and Normal) The port is fully operational and
performing as provisioned.
OOS-MA,DSBLD-(Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled) The port is
out-of-service and unable to carry traffic.
OOS-MA,MT-(Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance) The port is
out-of-service for maintenance. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is
carried and loopbacks are allowed.
OOS-AU,AINS-(Out-Of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service)
The port is out-of-service, but traffic is carried. Alarm reporting is
suppressed. The ONS node monitors the ports for an error-free signal. After
an error-free signal is detected, the port stays in OOS-AU,AINS state for the
duration of the soak period. After the soak period ends, the port service state
changes to IS-NR.
|
SF BER
|
Sets the signal failure bit error rate.
|
SD BER
|
Sets the signal degrade bit error rate.
|
ProvidesSync
|
If checked, the card is provisioned as an NE timing reference.
|
SyncMsgIn
|
Enables synchronization status messages (S1 byte), which allow the node to choose the best timing source.
|
Admin SSM In
|
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:
|
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#
|
(ONS 15454 only) Allows you to set the STS that will be used for monitoring pointer justification. If set to zero, no STS is used.
|
Port Rate
|
(ONS 15600 only) Displays the port rate set for the pluggable port module (PPM).
|
AINS Soak
|
Auto-in service soak. The determination of duration left before the traffic/termination transitions to IS-NR service state.
|
Type
|
Allows you to provision 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
|
(OC-48AS only) Allows you to remap the extended byte that carries information governing BLSR protection switches. The K3 byte should not be changed unless specifically required to run an ONS 15600 BLSR through third-party equipment.
|
ALS
|
(ONS 15454 OC-192 cards only) Allows you to provision the automatic laser shutdown:
Disable: ALS is off; the laser is not automatically shut down when traffic
outages (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.
