Change Card Settings
This chapter explains how to change transmission settings on cards in a Cisco ONS 15600.
Before You Begin
As necessary, complete the “NTP-E57 Document Existing Provisioning” procedure on page 7-2.
Before performing the following procedures, investigate all alarms and clear any trouble conditions.
Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide as necessary.
This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).

NTP-E151 Provision an Optical Line Rate
NTP-E151 Provision an Optical Line Rate
Purpose
This procedure provisions the line rate on a multirate pluggable port
module (PPM). Single-rate small-form factor pluggables (SFPs) or 4-port
I/O modules (4PIOs) do not need line rate provisioning.

Step 2
Complete the “DLP-E26 Log into CTC” task on page 16-39 to log into an ONS 15600 on the network.
Click the Alarms tab:
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not turned on. See the “DLP-E157 Disable Alarm Filtering” task on
page 17-50 as necessary.
b. Verify that no unexplained conditions appear on the network. If unexplained conditions appear,
resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SONET Troubleshooting Guide.
c. Complete the “DLP-E76 Export CTC Data” task on page 16-98 to export alarm and condition
information.

Step 5
Step 6
In node view, double-click the ASAP card where you want to provision the line rate.
Click the Provisioning > Pluggable Port Modules tabs.
In the Pluggable Ports pane, click Create. The Create Port dialog box appears.
In the Create Port dialog box, complete the following:
•
Port—Click the PPM number and port number from the drop-down list. The first number indicates
the PPM and the second number indicates the port number on the PPM. For example, the first PPM
with one port displays as 1-1 and the second PPM with one port displays as 2-1. When a 4PIO is
present on an ASAP card, the port is identified as 4PIO#-PPM#-Port# (for example 4-4-1). The 4PIO
number can be 1 to 4, the PPM number can be 1 to 4, but the port number is always 1.
•
Port Type—Click the type of port from the drop-down list. The port type menu displays the
card.

You cannot delete a port on a PPM: if it is in service, part of a protection group, has a communications
channel termination in use, is used as a timing source, has circuits, or has overhead circuits. As needed,

To delete a PPM and the associated ports:
a. Click the PPM line that appears in the Pluggable Port Modules pane. The highlight changes to dark
blue.
b. Click Delete. The Delete PPM dialog box appears.
c. Click Yes. The PPM provisioning is removed from the Pluggable Port Modules pane and the
Pluggable Ports pane.
Step 7
Verify that the PPM provisioning is deleted:
•
•
If the PPM was pre-provisioned, CTC shows an empty slot in CTC after it is deleted.
If the SFP or 4PIO is physically present when you delete the PPM provisioning, CTC transitions to
the deleted state, the ports (if any) are deleted, and the PPM is represented as a gray graphic in CTC.
The SFP or 4PIO can be provisioned again in CTC, or the equipment can be removed, in which case
the removal causes the graphic to disappear.
