Using OC-48 Regeneration Ports

This section describes a Cisco ONS 15104 and an OC-48 line card installed in each Cisco 12000 series GSR at two remote sites.

Two single simplex SC connector cables are usually tied together as pairs, so they will appear as one cable with Rx and Tx connectors at each end. Be sure to disconnect and reconnect the cables using the receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) cabling relationship.

To connect the OC-48 line cards that are installed in two Cisco 12000 series GSRs do the following:

Step 1   Connect the simplex SC cable connector to the Cisco ONS 15104's left Tx OC-48 regeneration port on side 0. Connect the simplex SC cable connector to the
Cisco ONS 15104's left Rx OC-48 regeneration port on side 0.

Step 2   Connect the opposite end of the simplex SC cable to the left Rx SC connector on an OC-48 line card. Connect the opposite end of the simplex SC cable to the left Tx SC connector on an OC-48 line card.

Step 3   Connect a simplex SC cable connector to the Cisco ONS 15104's right Tx OC-48 regeneration port on side 1. Connect a simplex SC cable connector to the
Cisco ONS 15104's right Rx OC-48 regeneration port on side 1.

Step 4   Connect the opposite end of the simplex SC cable to the right Rx SC connector on an OC-48 line card. Connect the opposite end of the simplex SC cable to the right Tx SC connector on an OC-48 line card.

Step 5   Repeat steps 1 and 4 for all OC-48 line cards that will be connected to a Cisco ONS 15104 on the network.

Step 6   Use a PC or VTY terminal to configure the Cisco ONS 15104 and communicate with other network devices.
