Preface
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.
This section explains the objectives, intended audience, and organization of this publication and describes the conventions that convey instructions and other information.

Revision History
Document Objectives
This guide covers the software features and operations of Ethernet cards for the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH. It explains software features and configuration for Cisco IOS on the ML-Series card. The ML-Series card is a module in the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET or Cisco ONS 15454 SDH system. It also explains software feature and configuration for CTC on the E-Series, G-Series and CE-Series cards. The E-Series cards and G-Series cards are modules in the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH. The CE-Series cards are modules in the Cisco ONS 15454. The CE-100T-8 is also available as module for the Cisco ONS 15310-CL. The Cisco ONS 15310-CL version of the card is covered in the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide. Use this guide in conjunction with the appropriate publications listed in the Related Documentation section.
Audience
To use the ML-Series card chapters of this publication, you should be familiar with Cisco IOS and preferably have technical networking background and experience. To use the E-Series, G-Series and CE-Series card chapters of this publication, you should be familiar with CTC and preferably have technical networking background and experience.
