Introduction
The Cisco ONS 15540 ESP and Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx are optical transport platforms that employ DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) technology. With the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP, users can take advantage of the availability of dark fiber to build a common infrastructure that supports data, SAN (storage area network) and TDM (time-division multiplexing) traffic. The multimode transponder module converts the client signal to an ITU wavelength. The client interface on a multimode transponder line card is protocol transparent and bit-rate transparent, and accepts multimode client signals on the 1310-nm wavelength through an SC connector.
Determining the Functional Image Release Version
This section describes the process you use to determine the existing functional image release version installed on your single mode transponder module.
To display the functional image version in a single mode transponder module, use the following command in EXEC mode:
show hardware linecard slot
Displays the detailed hardware information including the functional image release version.
The version appears in the Functional Image Version field in the show hardware linecard command output.
Example
The following example shows the functional image release version for a single mode transponder module:

Caveats
This section lists the caveats for the multimode transponder module functional image. Use Table 1 to determine the status of a particular caveat. In the table, "C" means a corrected caveat, and "O" means an open caveat.
Caveats Symptoms and Workarounds
This section describes the caveat symptoms and workarounds for this release of the multimode transponder module functional image.
Symptom: After exposure to very high bit error rates, the Section B1 error counter might continue to increment when errors are no longer present.
Affected Release: 1.64
Workaround: Disable monitoring on the transparent interface using the no monitor command.
Symptom: The SONET B1 counter in the performance monitor wraps around to zero when very high bit error rates occur, causing error statistics which are lower than the actual values.
Affected Release: 1.9F
Workaround: None.
