Port
Use the Port subtab to provision Ethernet port information for ONS 15600 ASAP card Ethernet ports.
 
Port
The PPM number.
Port Name
Name for the optical port.
Admin State
Shows the administrative state of the port. Choose an administrative state from the drop-down list and click Apply to change the port service state unless network conditions prevent the change. Admin states include:
IS—Puts the port in service. The port service state changes to In-Service, 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).
IS,AINS—Puts the port in the Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS) service state. Alarms and conditions are suppressed. When the port receives a valid signal, the service state automatically changes to IS-NR.
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
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. For additional state information, see States.
Link State
The physical port state. Possible values are Up and Down.
Enable Flow Control
If checked, enables the IEEE 802.3x flow control and buffering to reduce data congestion on the port (default). If flow control is enabled, the port must be set to autonegotiation. If flow control is enabled but the negotiation status indicates no flow control, check the autonegotiation settings.
Flow Control
The negotiated flow control mode. Possible values are None, Symmetrical, and Asymmetrical.
Enable Auto Negotiation
If checked, sets the port for autonegotiation. To enable flow control, the port must be set to autonegotiation.
Max Size
Sets the maximum Ethernet frame size:
9600: Sets the maximum Ethernet frame size at 9600 bytes.
1548: Sets the maximum Ethernet frame size at 1548 bytes. This size enables the port to accept valid Ethernet frames that use protocols, such as Inter-Switch Link (ISL). ISL adds 30 bytes of overhead and might cause the frame size to exceed the traditional 1518 byte maximum.
Flow Control Lo
Shows the low flow control buffer level for the water marks setting. Type the desired low flow control buffer level.
Flow Control Hi
Shows the high flow control buffer level for the water marks setting. Type the desired high flow control buffer level.
Reach
Displays the reach value. The reach distances follow:
Auto Provision—The system automatically provisions the reach from the PPM reach value on the hardware.
SX—Up to 550 m or 270 m distance based on 50um/62.5um diameter fiber.
LX—Up to 10 km or 550 m distance based on 50um/62.5um diameter fiber.
DX—Up to 40 km distance.
HX—Up to 40 km distance.
ZX—Up to 80 km distance.
VX—Up to 100 km distance.
Wavelength
Displays the wavelength frequency.
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.
