NTP-24 Verify Card Installation
Step 1 Verify that TCC+ cards are installed in Slots 7 and 11.
Step 2 Verify that the green ACT (active) LED is illuminated on one TCC+ and the amber STBY (standby) LED is illuminated on the second TCC+.
Note If the TCC+s are not installed, or their LEDs are not illuminated as described, do not proceed. Repeat the "DLP-36 Install the TCC+ XC/XCVT/XC10G Cards" task on page 2-4, or refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Manual to resolve installation problems before going to Step 3.
Step 3 Verify that cross-connect cards (XC, XCVT, or XC10G) are installed in Slots 8 and 10.
Note If OC-192, OC48 any-slot (AS), and four-port OC-12 cards require an XC10G.
Step 4 Verify that the green ACT (active) LED is illuminated on one cross-connect card and the amber STBY (standby) LED is illuminated on the second cross-connect card.
Note If the cross-connect cards are not installed, or their LEDs are not illuminated as described, do not proceed. Repeat the "DLP-36 Install the TCC+ XC/XCVT/XC10G Cards" task on page 2-4, or refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Manual to resolve installation problems before going to Step 5.
Step 5 If your site plan requires an AIC card, verify that the AIC card is installed in Slot 9 and its ACT (active) LED displays a solid green light.
Step 6 Verify that electrical cards (DS-1, DS-3, EC-1, and DS3XM-6) are installed in the ONS 15454 multispeed or high-speed slots as designated by your installation plan.
Note Multispeed slots are Slots 1-4 and 14-17; high-speed slots are Slots 5, 6, 12, and 13.
Step 7 If your site plan requires an Ethernet card, verify that the Ethernet card is installed in the specified multispeed slot and its ACT (active) LED displays a solid green light.
Step 8 If a E1000-2, E1000-2-G, or G1000-4 Ethernet card is installed, verify that it has a gigabit interface converter (GBIC) installed. If not, see the "DLP-40 Install Gigabit Interface Converters" task on page 2-11.
Step 9 Verify that OC-N cards (OC-3, OC-12, OC-12-4, OC-48, OC-48AS, and OC-192) are installed in the slots designated by your site plan. OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48AS cards can be installed in multispeed or high-speed slots. The OC-12-4 can only be installed in a multispeed slot, and the OC-48 and OC-192 can only be installed in high-speed slots.
Note Multispeed slots are Slots 1-4 and 14-17; high-speed slots are Slots 5, 6, 12, and 13.
Step 10 Verify that all installed OC-N cards display a solid amber STBY LED.
Step 11 Verify that fiber-optic cables are installed and connected to the locations indicated in the site plan.
Step 12 Verify that fiber is routed correctly in the shelf assembly and fiber boots are installed properly.
Step 13 Complete the "DLP-37 Verify System Software on the LCD" task on page 2-6 to ensure that the software release on the node matches the software release indicated in your site plan. If the release does not match, do one of the following:
•Perform a software upgrade procedure. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Software Upgrade Guide.
•Replace the TCC+ cards with cards containing the correct release (see the "DLP-36 Install the TCC+ XC/XCVT/XC10G Cards" task on page 2-4).
Step 14 Continue with the "NTP-25 Set Up Name, Date, Time, and Contact Information" procedure.
NTP-25 Set Up Name, Date, Time, and Contact Information

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-60 Log into CTC" task for the node you will turn up.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > General tabs.
Step 3 Enter the following information in the fields listed:
•Node Name—Type a name for the node. For TL1 compliance, names must begin with an alpha character and have no more than 20 alphanumeric characters.
•Contact—Type the name of the node contact person and the phone number (optional).
•Location—Type the node location, for example, city name or specific office location (optional).
•Latitude—Enter the node latitude: N (North) or S (South), degrees, and minutes (optional).
•Longitude—Enter the node longitude: E (East) or W (West), degrees, and minutes (optional).
CTC uses the latitude and longitude to position ONS 15454 icons on the network view map. To convert a coordinate in degrees to degrees and minutes, multiply the number after the decimal by 60. For example, the latitude 38.250739 converts to 38 degrees, 15 minutes (.250739 x 60 = 15.0443, rounded to the nearest whole number).
Tip You can also position nodes manually on the network view map by pressing Ctrl, then clicking and dragging the node icon to the desired location with your mouse.
•Use NTP/SNTP Server—When checked, CTC uses a Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server to set the date and time of the node.
If you do not use an SNTP or NTP server, complete the Date and Time fields. The ONS 15454 will use these fields for alarm dates and times. (CTC displays all alarms in the login node's time zone for cross network consistency.)
Note Using an NTP or SNTP server ensures that all ONS 15454 network nodes use the same date and time reference. The server synchronizes the node's time after power outages or software upgrades.
If you check Use NTP/SNTP Server, type the IP address of either a) an NTP/SNTP server, or b) the IP address of an ONS 15454 with NTP/SNTP Server enabled. If you enable Enable Firewall for the ONS 15454 proxy server, external ONS 15454 NEs must reference the gateway ONS 15454 NE for NTP/SNTP timing.
Caution If you reference another ONS 15454 for the NTP/SNTP server, make sure the second ONS 15454 references an NTP/SNTP server and not the first ONS 15454 (that is, do not create an NTP/SNTP timing loop by having two ONS 15454s reference each other).
•Date—If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not selected, type the current date in the format mm/dd/yyyy, for example, September 24, 2002 is 09/24/2002.
•Time—If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not selected, type the current time in the format hh:mm:ss, for example, 11:24:58. The ONS 15454 uses a 24-hour clock, so 10:00 PM is entered as 22:00:00.
•Time Zone—Click the field and choose the time zone from the popup menu.
Step 4 Click Apply.
Step 5 On the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
Step 6 Review the node information. If you need to make corrections, repeat Steps 3- 5 to enter the corrections. If the information is correct, continue with the "NTP-26 Set Up Network Information" procedure.

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-60 Log into CTC" task. If you are already logged in, from the View menu in node (default) view select Go to Network View.
Step 2 Complete the "DLP-63 Set Up Network Information Using CTC" task to provision the ONS 15454 IP address, subnet mask, default router, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, IIOP listener port, and proxy server settings.
Tip If you cannot log into the node, you can still change its IP address, default router and network mask by using the LCD on the ONS 15454 front panel. See the "DLP-64 Set the IP Address, Default Router, and Network Mask Using the LCD" task for instructions. However, you cannot use the LCD to provision any other network settings.
Step 3 If static routes are needed, complete the "DLP-65 Create a Static Route" task. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual for further information about static routes.
Step 4 If the ONS 15454 is connected to a LAN or WAN that uses OSPF, complete the "DLP-66 Set Up or Change Open Shortest Path First Protocol" task.
Step 5 Turn to the table of contents, list of procedures, or index to locate any other procedures that you need to perform for your site.
DLP-63 Set Up Network Information Using CTC
Caution All network changes should be approved by your network (or LAN) administrator.
Step 1 Click the Provisioning > Network tabs ( Figure 4-1).
Step 2 Complete the following information in the fields listed:
•IP Address—Type the IP address assigned to the ONS 15454 node.
•Prevent LCD IP Config—Check this box if you want to disable IP configuration using the ONS 15454 LCD, that is, disable the "DLP-64 Set the IP Address, Default Router, and Network Mask Using the LCD" task. This box is unchecked by default.
•Default Router—If the ONS 15454 must communicate with a device on a network that the ONS 15454 is not connected to, the ONS 15454 forwards the packets to the default router. Type the IP address of the router in this field. If the ONS 15454 is not connected to a LAN, or if you will enable any of the Gateway Settings to implement the ONS 15454 proxy server features, leave this field blank.
•Net/Subnet Mask Length—If the ONS 15454 is part of a subnet, type the subnet mask length (decimal number representing the subnet mask length in bits) or click the arrows to adjust the subnet mask length. The subnet mask length is the same for all ONS 15454s in the same subnet.
•MAC Address—(read only) Displays the ONS 15454 IEEE 802 Media Access Control (MAC) address.
•Forward DHCP Request To—Check this box to enable Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Also, enter the DHCP server IP address in the Request To field. The box is unchecked by default. If you will enable any of the Gateway Settings to implement the ONS 15454 proxy server features, leave this field blank.
Note If you enable DHCP, computers connected to an ONS 15454 node can obtain temporary IP addresses from an external DHCP server. The ONS 15454 only forwards DHCP requests; it does not act as a DHCP server.
•TCC CORBA (IIOP) Listener Port—Check this box to set the ONS 15454 IIOP listener port. This listener port is used to allow communication with the ONS 15454 through firewalls. See the
"NTP-27 Set Up the ONS 15454 for Firewall Access" procedure to provision firewall access.
•Gateway Settings—Provides three checkboxes that enable the ONS 15454 proxy server features. Do not enable any of the checkboxes until you review the proxy server scenario in the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual. In proxy server networks, the ONS 15454 will be either a gateway network element (GNE) or external NE (ENE). Provisioning must be consistent for each NE type.
–Craft Access Only— If checked, the login ONS 15454 is only visible to the ONS 15454 that it is directly connected to; other non-DCC connected nodes will not be aware of the node provisioned for craft access only. This box is normally checked for external NEs; not checked for gateway NEs.
–Enable Proxy—If checked, the ONS 15454 responds to CTC requests with a list of DCC-connected nodes for which it serves as a proxy. Both gateway and external NEs within a proxy server network should have this box checked.
–Enable Firewall—If checked, the node restricts IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port. Both gateway and external NEs within a proxy server network should have this box checked.

Step 1 Display the network view (from the View menu in node view click Go to Network View).
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Network tabs.
Step 3 Click the Static Routing tab. Click Create.
Step 4 In the Create Static Route dialog box enter the following:
•Destination—Enter the IP address of the computer running CTC. To limit access to one computer, enter the full IP address and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255. To allow access to all computers on the 192.168.1.0 subnet, enter 192.168.1.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You can enter a destination of 0.0.0.0 to allow access to all CTC computers that connect to the router.
•Mask—Enter a subnet mask. If Destination is a host route (i.e., one CTC computer), enter a 32-bit subnet mask (255.255.255.255). If Destination is a subnet, adjust the subnet mask accordingly, for example, 255.255.255.0. If Destination is 0.0.0.0, CTC automatically enters a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 to provide access to all CTC computers. You cannot change this value.
•Next Hop—Enter the IP address of the router port or the node IP address if the CTC computer is connected to the node directly.
•Cost—Enter the number of hops between the ONS 15454 and the computer. In this example, the cost is two, one hop from the ONS 15454 to the router and a second hop from the router to the CTC workstation.
Step 5 Click OK. Verify that the static route displays in the Static Route window.
Note Static route networking examples are provided in the IP networking section of the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.

Step 1 Display the node view.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Network > OSPF tabs ( Figure 4-6).
Figure 4-6 Enabling OSPF on the ONS 15454
Step 3 On the top left side of the OSPF pane, complete the following:
•DCC OSPF Area ID—Enter the number that identifies the ONS 15454s as a unique OSPF area ID entered in dotted decimal format. It can be any number between 000.000.000.000 and 255.255.255.255. The number must be unique to the LAN OSPF area.
•DCC Metric—This value is normally unchanged. It sets a "cost" for sending packets across the DCC, which is used by OSPF routers to calculate the shortest path. This value should always be higher than the LAN metric. The default DCC metric is 10. The metric changes to 100 if you check the OSPF Active on LAN checkbox in Step 4.
Step 4 Under OSPF on LAN, complete the following:
•OSPF active on LAN—When checked, enables the ONS 15454 OSPF topology to be advertised to OSPF routers on the LAN. Enable this field on ONS 15454s that directly connect to OSPF routers.
•Area ID for LAN Port—Enter the OSPF area ID (dotted decimal format) for the router port where the ONS 15454 is connected. (This number is different from the DCC OSPF Area ID.)
Step 5 Under Authentication, complete the following:
•Type—If the router where the ONS 15454 is connected requires authentication, choose Simple Password. Otherwise, choose No Authentication.
•Key—If Simple Password is selected as the Authentication type, enter the password (OSPF key).
Step 6 Under Priority and Intervals, complete the following:
The OSPF priority and intervals default to values most commonly used by OSPF routers. In the Priority and Intervals area, verify that these values match those used by the OSPF router where the ONS 15454 is connected.
•Router Priority—Used to select the designated router for a subnet.
•Hello Interval (sec)—Sets the number of seconds between OSPF "hello" packet advertisements sent by OSPF routers. Ten seconds is the default.
•Dead Interval—Sets the number of seconds that will pass while an OSPF router's packets are not visible before its neighbors declare the router down. Forty seconds is the default.
•Transit Delay (sec)—Indicates the service speed. One second is the default.
•Retransmit Interval (sec)—Sets the time that will elapse before a packet is resent. Five seconds is the default.
•LAN Metric—Sets a "cost" for sending packets across the LAN. This value should always be lower than the DCC metric. Ten is the default.
Step 7 Under OSPF Area Range Table, create an area range table if one is needed:
Note Area range tables consolidate the information that is propagated outside an OSPF Area border. One ONS 15454 in the ONS 15454 OSPF area is connected to the OSPF router. An area range table on this node points the router to the other nodes that reside within the ONS 15454 OSPF area.
a. Under OSPF Area Range Table, click Create.
b. In the Create Area Range dialog box, enter the following:
–Range Address—Enter the area IP address for the ONS 15454s that reside within the OSPF area. For example, if the ONS 15454 OSPF area includes nodes with IP addresses 10.10.20.100, 10.10.30.150, 10.10.40.200, and 10.10.50.250, the range address would be 10.10.0.0.
–Range Area ID—Enter the OSPF area ID for the ONS 15454s. This is either the ID in the DCC OSPF Area ID field or the ID in the Area ID for LAN Port field.
–Mask Length—Enter the subnet mask length. In the Range Address example, this is 16.
–Advertise—Check if you want to advertise the OSPF range table.
c. Click OK.
Step 8 All OSPF areas must be connected to Area 0. If the ONS 15454 OSPF area is not physically connected to Area 0, use the following steps to create a virtual link table that will provide the disconnected area with a logical path to Area 0:
a. Under OSPF Virtual Link Table, click Create.
b. In the Create Virtual Link dialog box, complete the following fields (OSPF settings must match OSPF settings for the ONS 15454 OSPF area):
Neighbor—The router ID of the Area 0 router.
Transit Delay (sec)—The service speed. One second is the default.
Hello Int (sec)—The number of seconds between OSPF "hello" packet advertisements sent by OSPF routers. Ten seconds is the default.
Auth Type—If the router where the ONS 15454 is connected uses authentication, choose Simple Password. Otherwise, choose No Authentication.
Retransmit Int (sec)—Sets the time that will elapse before a packet is resent. Five seconds is the default.
Dead Int (sec)—Sets the number of seconds that will pass while an OSPF router's packets are not visible before its neighbors declare the router down. Forty seconds is the default.
c. Click OK.
Step 9 After entering ONS 15454 OSPF area data, click Apply.
If you changed the Area ID, the TCC+ cards will reset, one at a time. The reset will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Table 4-1 shows the LED behavior during the TCC+ reset.
Step 10 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
NTP-27 Set Up the ONS 15454 for Firewall Access
If an ONS 15454 or CTC computer resides behind a firewall that uses port filtering, you must enable an Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) port on the ONS 15454 and/or CTC computer, depending on whether one or both devices reside behind a firewall.
Figure 4-7 shows ONS 15454s in a protected network and the CTC computer in an external network. In order for the computer to access the ONS 15454s, you provision the IIOP listener port specified by your firewall administrator on the ONS 15454. The ONS 15454 sends the port number to the CTC computer during the initial contact between the devices using Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). After the CTC computer obtains the ONS 15454 IIOP port, the computer opens a direct session with the node using the specified IIOP port.
Figure 4-7 ONS 15454s residing behind a firewall
Figure 4-8 shows a CTC computer and ONS 15454 behind firewalls. In order for the computer to access the ONS 15454, you provision the IIOP port on the CTC computer and on the ONS 15454. Each firewall can use a different IIOP port. For example, if the CTC computer firewall uses IIOP port 4000, and the ONS 15454 firewall uses IIOP port 5000, 4000 is the IIOP port set on the CTC computer and 5000 is the IIOP port set on the ONS 15454.

Step 1 Log into the ONS 15454 node where you want to set up timing. The node (default) view displays. See the "DLP-60 Log into CTC" task for instructions.
Step 2 Complete the "DLP-69 Set Up External or Line Timing" task if an external BITS source is available. This is the common SONET timing setup procedure.
Step 3 Complete the "DLP-70 Set Up Internal Timing" task if you cannot complete Step 2 (an external BITS source is not available). This task can only provide Stratum 3 timing.
Note For information about SONET timing, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Guide or to Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
Step 4 Turn to the table of contents, list of procedures, or index to locate any other procedures that you need to perform for your site.
DLP-69 Set Up External or Line Timing
Step 1 On the node view, click the Provisioning > Timing tabs ( Figure 4-9).
Figure 4-9 Setting Up ONS 15454 timing
Step 2 Under General Timing, complete the following information:
•Timing Mode—Choose External if the ONS 15454 derives its timing from a BITS source wired to the backplane pins; choose Line if timing is derived from an OC-N card that is optically connected to the timing node. A third option, Mixed, allows you to set external and line timing references. (Because Mixed timing may cause timing loops, Cisco does not recommend its use. Use this mode with care.)
•SSM Message Set—Choose the message set level supported by your network. If a Generation 1 node receives a Generation 2 message, the message will be mapped down to the next available Generation 1. For example, an ST3E message becomes an ST3.
•Quality of RES—If your timing source supports the reserved S1 byte, set the timing quality here. (Most timing sources do not use RES.) Qualities are displayed in descending quality order as ranges. For example, ST3<RES<ST2 means the timing reference is higher than a Stratum 3 and lower than a Stratum 2. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Guide for more information about SSM, including definitions of the SONET timing levels.
•Revertive—Check this box if you want the ONS 15454 to revert to a primary reference source after the conditions that caused it to switch to a secondary timing reference are corrected.
•Revertive Time—If Revertive is checked, choose the amount of time the ONS 15454 will wait before reverting back to its primary timing source. Five minutes is the default.
Step 3 Under BITS Facilities, complete the following information:
Note The BITS Facilities section sets the parameters for your BITS1 and BITS2 timing references. Many of these settings are determined by the timing source manufacturer. If equipment is timed through BITS Out, you can set timing parameters to meet the requirements of the equipment.
•State—For nodes set to Line timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to OOS (Out of Service). For nodes using External timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to IS (In Service).
•Coding—Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either B8ZS or AMI.
•Framing—Set to the framing used by your BITS reference, either ESF (Extended Super Frame, or SF (D4) (Super Frame).
•Sync Messaging—Check to enable SSM. SSM is not available if Framing is set to Super Frame.
•AIS Threshold—If SSM is disabled or Super Frame is used, set the quality level where a node sends an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) from the BITS 1 Out and BITS 2 Out backplane pins. An AIS is sent when the optical source for the BITS reference falls to or below the SSM quality level defined in this field.
•LBO—If you are timing an external device connected to the BITS Out pins, set the distance between it and the ONS 15454. Options are: 0-133 ft. (default), 124-266 ft., 267-399 ft., 400-533 ft., and 534-655 ft.
Note LBO does not appear in releases before Release 3.3.
Step 4 Under Reference Lists, complete the following information:
Note Reference Lists defines up to three timing references for the node and up to six BITS Out references. BITS Out references define the timing references used by equipment that can be attached to the node's BITS Out pins on the backplane. If you attach equipment to BITS Out pins, you normally attach it to a node with Line mode because equipment near the External timing reference can be directly wired to the reference.
•NE Reference—Allows you to define three timing references (Ref 1, Ref 2, Ref3). The node uses Reference 1 unless a failure occurs to that reference, in which case the node uses Reference 2. If that fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to Internal Clock. This is the Stratum 3 clock provided on the TCC+. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting.
–If the Timing Mode is set to External, your options are BITS1, BITS2, and Internal Clock.
–If the Timing Mode is set to Line, your options are the node's working OC-N cards and Internal Clock. Choose the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS source, that is, the node's trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, choose Slot 5 as Reference 1.
–If the Timing Mode is set to Mixed, both BITS and OC-N cards are available, allowing you to set a mixture of external BITS and OC-N trunk cards as timing references.
•BITS 1 Out/BITS 2 Out—Define the timing references for equipment wired to the BITS Out backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with Line nodes, so the options displayed are the working OC-N cards. BITS 1 and BITS 2 Out are enabled when BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities are placed in service.
Step 5 Click Apply.
Note Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for timing-related alarms.

1:1
|
DS1-14
DS3-12
DS3-12E
EC1-12
DS3XM-6
|
Pairs one working card with one protect card. The protect card should be installed in an odd-numbered slot and the working card in an even-numbered slot next to the protect slot towards the TCC+, for example: protect in Slot 1, working in Slot 2; protect in Slot 3, working in Slot 4; protect in Slot 15, working in Slot 14.
|
1:N
|
DS1N-14
DS3N-12
DS3N-12E
|
Assigns one protect card for several working cards. The maximum is 1:5. Protect cards (DS1N-14, DS3N-12, DS3N-12E) must be installed in Slots 3 or 15 and the cards they protect must be on the same side of the shelf. Protect cards must match the cards they protect. For example, a DS1N-14 can only protect DS1-14 or DS1N-14 cards. If a failure clears, traffic reverts to the working card after the reversion time has elapsed.
|
1+1
|
Any OC-N
|
Pairs a working OC-N card/port with a protect OC-N card/port. For multiport OC-N cards, the protect port must match the working port on the working card. For example, Port 1 of an OC-3 card can only be protected by Port 1 of another OC-3 card. The ports on multiport cards must be either working or protect. You cannot mix working and protect ports on the same card. Cards do not need to be in adjoining slots.
|
Unprotected
|
Any
|
Unprotected cards can cause signal loss if a card fails or incurs a signal error. However, because no card slots are reserved for protection, unprotected schemes maximize the service available for use on the ONS 15454. Unprotected is the default protection type.

Note The DS3XM-6 transmux card can accept up to six channelized DS-3 signals and convert each signal to 28 VT1.5s. Conversely, the card can take 28 T-1s and multiplex them into a channeled C-bit or M23 framed DS-3. Unlike the DS3-12, DS3N-12, DS3-12E, and DS3N-12E cards, the DS3XM-6 allows circuit mapping at the VT level.

Step 1 Double-click the AIC card on the shelf graphic. The card view displays.
Step 2 Click the Local Orderwire or the Express Orderwire tab, appropriate to the orderwire path that you want to create. If regenerators are not used between ONS 15454 nodes, you can use either local or express AIC orderwire channels. If regenerators exist, use the express orderwire channel. You can provision up to four ONS 15454 OC-N ports for each orderwire path.
The Local Orderwire subtab is shown in Figure 4-15. Provisioning procedures are the same for both types of orderwire.
Caution When provisioning orderwire for ONS 15454s residing in a ring, do not provision a complete orderwire loop. For example, a four-node ring typically has east and west ports provisioned at all four nodes. However, to prevent orderwire loops, provision two orderwire ports (east and west) at all but one of the ring nodes.
Figure 4-15 Provisioning local orderwire
Step 3 In the Available Ports list, choose each port that you want to use for the orderwire channel and click Add to move them to the Selected Ports column.
Step 4 If needed, adjust the Tx and Rx dBm by moving the slider to the right or left for the headset type (four-wire or two-wire) that you will use. In general, you should not need to adjust the dBm.

Note The community name is a form of authentication and access control. The community name assigned to the ONS 15454 is case-sensitive and must match the community name of the NMS.
•UDP Port—The default UDP port for SNMP is 162.
•Trap Version—Choose either SNMPv1 or SNMPv2. Refer to your NMS documentation to determine whether to use SNMP v1 or v2.
•Max Traps per Second—Type the maximum traps per second. The default is 0.
Note The Max Traps per Second is the maximum number of traps per second that will be sent to the SNMP manager. If the field is set to 0, there is no maximum and all traps are sent.

Figure 4-19 Creating RMON thresholds
Step 4 From the Slot menu, choose the appropriate Ethernet card.
Step 5 From the Port menu, choose the Port on the Ethernet card.
Step 6 From the Variable menu, choose the variable. See Table 4-23 for a list of the Ethernet threshold variables available in this field.
Step 7 From Alarm Type, indicate whether the event will be triggered by the rising threshold, falling threshold, or both the rising and falling thresholds.
Step 8 From the Sample Type pull-down menu, choose either Relative or Absolute. Relative restricts the threshold to use the number of occurrences in the user-set sample period. Absolute sets the threshold to use the total number of occurrences, regardless of any time period.
Step 9 Type in an appropriate number of seconds for the Sample Period.
Step 10 Type in the appropriate number of occurrences for the Rising Threshold.
Note For a rising type of alarm to fire, the measured value must shoot from below the falling threshold to above the rising threshold. For example, if a network is running below a falling threshold of 400 collisions every 15 seconds and a problem causes 1001 collisions in 15 seconds, these occurrences fire an alarm.
Step 11 Type in the appropriate number of occurrences for the Falling Threshold. In most cases a falling threshold is set lower than the rising threshold.
A falling threshold is the counterpart to a rising threshold. When the number of occurrences is above the rising threshold and then drops below a falling threshold, it resets the rising threshold. For example, when the network problem that caused 1001 collisions in 15 minutes subsides and creates only 799 collisions in 15 minutes, occurrences fall below a falling threshold of 800 collisions. This resets the rising threshold so that if network collisions again spike over a 1000 per 15 minute period, an event again triggers when the rising threshold is crossed. An event is triggered only the first time a rising threshold is exceeded (otherwise a single network problem might cause a rising threshold to be exceeded multiple times and cause a flood of events).
Step 12 Click the OK button to complete the procedure.
