7.2 Provisioning Electrical Cards
The ONS 15327 electrical cards (DS-1 ports on the XTC-14 and XTC-28-3 and DS-3 ports on the
XTC-28-3) are pre-provisioned with settings that you can modify to manage transmission quality. When
you open an XTC card in CTC and select the Provisioning tab, the following subtabs are commonly
displayed:
•
Line —Sets line setup parameters, such as line coding and line length. This is also where you put
ports in and out of service.
• Line Threshold —Sets the line-level PM thresholds.
•
Electric Path Threshold —Sets the path-level PM thresholds for DS-1 traffic.
•
STS 1 Path Threshold—Sets the path-level PM thresholds for DS-3 traffic.
•
SONET Path Threshold —Sets the path-level PM thresholds for (STS/VT1.5) traffic.
• Alarming —Sets alarm profiles for individual ports and suppresses alarms. See Chapter 10, “Alarm
Monitoring and Management” for information about alarm profiles and alarm suppression.
Table 7-1 provides an overview of DS-1 and DS-3 parameters (an X means the item is available for the
card).
