Change Node Settings
This chapter explains how to modify node provisioning for the Cisco ONS 15454. To provision a new node, see Chapter 4, "Turn Up Node." To change default network element settings and to view a list of those settings, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Release 4.6 Network Element Defaults document.
Note 
The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration. Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.

•Timing Mode
Note Because mixed timing can cause timing loops, Cisco does not recommend using the Mixed Timing option. Use this mode with care.
•SSM Message Set
•Quality of RES
•Revertive
•Revertive Time
See the "DLP-A69 Set Up External or Line Timing" task on page 4-23 for field descriptions.
Step 3 In the BITS Facilities section, you can change 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.
•BITS In State
•BITS Out State
•State
•Coding
•Framing
•Sync Messaging
•AIS Threshold
•LBO
Step 4 In the Reference Lists area, you can change the following information:
Note Reference lists define 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
•BITS 1 Out
•BITS 2 Out
Step 5 Click Apply. Confirm that the changes appear; of not, repeat the task.
