Note You must back up and restore the database for each node on a circuit path in order to maintain a complete circuit.

Note The following parameters are restored only when the Complete Database (System and Provisioning) checkbox is checked: node name, IP address, subnet mask and gateway, and IIOP port. If you change the node name and then restore a backed up database on this node, the circuits automatically map to the newly renamed node. It is recommended to keep a record of the old and new node names.

Caution If you are restoring the database on multiple nodes, wait approximately one minute after the TCC2/TCC2P card reboot has completed on each node before proceeding to the next node.

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-G46 Log into CTC" task at the node where you are restoring the database. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Circuits tab. Verify that no optical channel network connection (OCHNC) circuits have a PARTIAL_OOS state. If so, investigate and resolve the partial state before continuing.

Caution Cisco strongly recommends that you keep different node databases in separate folders. This is because the reinitialization tool chooses the first product-specific software package in the specified directory if you use the Search Path field instead of the Package and Database fields. You might accidentally copy an incorrect database if multiple databases are kept in the specified directory.
Caution Restoring a node to the factory configuration deletes all cross-connects on the node.
Caution Cisco recommends that you save the node database to safe location if you will not be restoring the node using the database provided on the software CD.

Note The following parameters are not backed up and restored when you delete the database and restore the factory settings: node name, IP address, subnet mask and gateway, and IIOP port. If you change the node name and then restore a backed up database with a different node name, the circuits map to the new renamed node. Cisco recommends keeping a record of the old and new node names.

Step 1 If you need to install or replace one or more TCC2/TCC2P cards, see the "DLP-G33 Install the TCC2 or TCC2P Card" task.

Item
Description
Option
Option Description

Clock

Indicates the timing clock. The report section that follows applies to the timing clock indicated.

NE

The node timing clock.

BITS-1 Out

The BITS-1 Out timing clock.

BITS-2 Out

The BITS-2 Out timing clock.

Status

Indicates the status of the timing clock.

INIT_STATE

The timing reference has not been provisioned. For an NE reference, this status appears just before the first provisioning messages when the TCC2/TCC2P card is booting. Timing is provisioned to the internal clock of the node.

HOLDOVER_STATE

The clock was locked onto a valid timing reference for more than 140 seconds when a failure occurred. Holdover state timing is a computation based on timing during the normal state combined with the node's internal clock. The node holds onto this frequency until the valid reference is restored. This status appears for NE references only.

FREERUN_STATE

The node is running off its internal clock without any modification except the calibrated value to bring timing to 0 PPM. Freerun state can occur when a Force switch to the Internal clock is initiated, when all references fail without the 140 seconds of holdover data, or when only Internal timing references are defined. This status appears for NE references only.

NO_SYNC_STATE

A synchronization timing reference is not defined. BITS-1 Out or BITS-2 Out default to this status until an OC-N/STM-N card is defined as its reference on the Provisioning > Timing tab. This status appears for external references only.

NE_SYNCH_STATE

BITS-1 Out and BITS-2 Out use the same timing source as the NE. This is displayed when NE Reference is selected in the BITS-1 Out and BITS-2 Out Reference List on the Provisioning > Timing tab.

NORMAL_STATE

The timing reference is locked onto one of its provisioned references. The reference cannot be Internal or NO SYNC STATE.

FAST_START_STATE

The node has switched references, but the reference is too far away to reach NORMAL_STATE within an acceptable amount of time. FAST_START_STATE is a fast acquisition mode to allow the node to quickly acquire the reference. After it achieves this goal, the node progresses to NORMAL_STATE.

FAST_START_FAILED_STATE

A timing reference is too far away to reach in normal state. The FAST_START_STATE could not acquire sufficient timing information within the allowable amount of time.

Status Changed At

Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a module or a fan. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard. Statement 206

Note The air filters are single-use only. They must not be cleaned and reused. This is a Telcordia NEBS requirement, GR-63-CORE Issue 4.

Note Air filters must be inspected every month. If they are dirty or clogged with dust, they must be replaced with a new air filter.

Note Although the filter can work if it is installed with either side facing up, it is recommended that you install it with the metal bracing facing up to preserve the surface of the filter.

Step 1 If the air filter is installed in the external filter brackets, slide the filter out of the brackets while being careful not to dislodge any dust that might have collected on the filter and proceed to Step 8. Figure 13-4 shows the reusable fan-tray air filter in an external filter bracket on an ANSI shelf. Figure 13-5 shows the reusable fan-tray air filter in an external filter bracket on an ETSI shelf.

Step 2 If the filter is installed below the fan tray and not in the external filter brackets, open the front door of the shelf assembly. If the front door is already open, proceed to Step 3.

a. Open the front door lock.

The ONS 15454 comes with a pinned hex key for locking and unlocking the front door. Turn the key counterclockwise to unlock the door and clockwise to lock it.

b. Press the door button to release the latch.

c. Swing the door open.

Step 3 (Optional) Remove the front door using the "DLP-G10 Remove the Front Door" task. If you do not want to remove the door or it is already removed, proceed to Step 4.

Step 4 Push the outer side of the handles on the fan-tray assembly to expose the handles.

Step 5 Pull the handles and slide the fan-tray assembly one inch (25.4 mm) out of the shelf assembly and wait until the fans stop.

Step 6 When the fans have stopped, pull the fan-tray assembly completely out of the shelf assembly.

Step 7 Gently remove the air filter from the shelf assembly. Be careful not to dislodge any dust that might have collected on the filter.

Step 8 Visually inspect the air filter material for dirt and dust.

Step 9 Replace the air filter with a new one if the air filter is dirty or clogged with dust.

Caution Do not leave the fan tray out of the chassis for an extended period of time because excessive heat can damage the ONS 15454 cards.

Step 10 Replace the air filter:

a. If the air filter is installed in the external filter brackets, slide the dry air filter all the way to the back of the brackets.

b. If the filter is installed below the fan-tray assembly, slide the dry/clean air filter into the recessed compartment at the bottom of the shelf assembly. Put the front edge of the air filter flush against the front edge of the recessed compartment. Push the fan tray back into the shelf assembly.

Caution If the fan tray does not slide all the way to the back of the shelf assembly, pull the fan tray out and readjust the position of the reusable filter until the fan tray fits correctly.

Note On a powered-up ONS 15454, the fans start immediately after the fan-tray assembly is correctly inserted.

Step 11 To verify that the tray is plugged into the backplane, ensure that the LCD on the front of the fan-tray assembly is activated and displays node information.

Step 12 Rotate the retractable handles back into their compartments.

Step 13 If you removed the door, complete the "NTP-G40 Replace the Front Door" procedure. If not, close and lock the door.

Step 6 Unscrew the two screws that hold the AIP cover in place.

Step 7 Grip the cover and gently pull away from the backplane.

Note On the 15454-SA-HD (P/N: 800-24848), 15454-SA-NEBS3E, 15454-SA-NEBS3, and 15454-SA-R1 (P/N: 800-07149) shelves, the AIP cover is clear plastic. On the 15454-SA-ANSI shelf (P/N: 800-19857), the AIP cover is metal.

Step 8 Grip the AIP and gently pull it away from the backplane.

Step 9 Disconnect the fan-tray assembly power cable from the AIP.

Step 10 Set the old AIP aside for return to Cisco.

Caution The type of shelf that the AIP resides in determines the version of AIP that should replace the failed AIP. The 15454-SA-ANSI shelf (P/N: 800-19857) and 15454-SA-HD (P/N: 800-24848) currently use the 5A AIP, (P/N: 73-7665-01). The 15454-SA-NEBS3E, 15454-SA-NEBS3, and 15454-SA-R1 (P/N: 800-07149) shelves and earlier use the 2A AIP (P/N: 73-5262-01).
Caution Do not put a 2A AIP (P/N: 73-5262-01) into a 15454-SA-ANSI (P/N: 800-19857) or 15454-SA-HD (P/N: 800-24848) shelf; doing so will cause a blown fuse on the AIP.

Step 11 Attach the fan-tray assembly power cable to the new AIP.

Step 12 Place the new AIP on the backplane by plugging the panel into the backplane using the DIN connector.

Step 13 Replace the AIP cover over the AIP and secure the cover with the two screws.

Step 14 Replace the lower backplane cover and secure the cover with the five screws.

Step 15 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > Network tabs.

Caution Cisco recommends that TCC2/TCC2P card resets be performed in a maintenance window to avoid any potential service disruptions.

Step 16 Reset the standby TCC2/TCC2P card:

a. Right-click the standby TCC2/TCC2P card and choose Reset Card.

b. Click Yes in the Resetting Card dialog box. As the card resets, a loading (Ldg) indication appears on the card in CTC.

Note The reset takes approximately five minutes. Do not perform any other steps until the reset is complete.

Step 17 Complete the "DLP-G250 Reset the TCC2/TCC2P Card" task to reset the active TCC2/TCC2P card.

Step 18 From the File drop-down list, choose Exit to exit the CTC session.

Step 19 Log back into the node. In the Login dialog box, choose (None) from the Additional Nodes drop-down list.

Step 20 Record the new MAC address:

a. In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > Network tabs.

b. Record the MAC address shown in the General tab.

Step 21 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Circuits tab. Note that all circuits listed have a status of PARTIAL.

Step 22 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), choose Repair Circuits from the Tools drop-down list. The Circuit Repair dialog box appears.

Step 23 Read the instructions in the Circuit Repair dialog box (Figure 13-11). If all the steps in the dialog box have been completed, click Next. Ensure that you have the old and new MAC addresses.

Figure 13-11 Repairing Circuits

Step 24 The Node MAC Addresses dialog box appears (Figure 13-12):

a. From the Node drop-down list, choose the name of the node where you replaced the AIP.

b. In the Old MAC Address field, enter the old MAC address that was recorded in Step 3.

c. Click Next.

Figure 13-12 Recording the Old MAC Address Before Replacing the AIP

Step 25 The Repair Circuits dialog box appears (Figure 13-13). Read the information in the dialog box and click Finish.

Figure 13-13 Circuit Repair Information

Note The CTC session freezes until all circuits are repaired. Circuit repair can take up to five minutes or more depending on the number of circuits provisioned.

When the circuit repair is complete, the Circuits Repaired dialog box appears.

Step 26 Click OK.

Step 27 In node view of the new node, click the Circuits tab. Check to ensure that all circuits listed have a status of DISCOVERED. If all circuits listed are not DISCOVERED, call the Cisco TAC at (800) 553-2447 to open a Return Material Authorization (RMA).

Note For a list of NE defaults, see the "Network Element Defaults" appendix in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-G46 Log into CTC" task at the node where you want to edit NE defaults.

Step 2 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > Defaults tabs. Wait for the Defaults selector frame to load the defaults. This could take several minutes.

Step 3 Under Defaults Selector, choose either a card (if editing card-level defaults) or NODE (if editing node-level defaults). Clicking on the node name (at the top of the Defaults Selector column) lists all available NE defaults (both node- and card-level) under Default Name.

Step 4 Locate a default that you want to change under Default Name.

Step 5 Click in the Default Value column for the default property that you are changing and either choose a value from the drop-down list (when available), or type in the desired new value.

Note If you click Reset before you click Apply, all values will return to their original settings.

Step 6 Click Apply (click in the Default Name column to activate the Apply button if it is unavailable). You can modify multiple default values before applying the changes.

A pencil icon will appear next to any default value that will be changed as a result of editing the defaults file.

Step 7 If you are modifying node-level defaults, a dialog box appears telling you that defaults were successfully applied to the node. Click Yes.

If you are modifying the IIOP Listener Port setting, a dialog box appears warning you that the node will reboot and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.

Note Changes to most node defaults reprovision the node when you click Apply. Changes made to card settings using the Defaults Editor do not change the settings for cards that are already installed or slots that are preprovisioned for cards, but rather, change only cards that are installed or preprovisioned thereafter. To change settings for installed cards or preprovisioned slots, see Chapter 11 "Change DWDM Card Settings." To change settings for transponder or muxponder cards see Chapter 5 "Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards."

Note Changing some NE defaults can cause CTC disconnection or a reboot of the node in order for the default to take effect. Before you change a default, view the Side Effects column of the Defaults editor (right-click a column header and select Show Column > Side Effects) and be prepared for the occurrence of any side effects listed for that default.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.
