The multishelf management (MSM) ports are present on the ECU module. The MSM ports located on the left
side of the ECU module correspond to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 1, and the MSM ports located
on the right side correspond to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 8. For more information about the
ECU module and MSM ports, see the
External Connection Units, on page 72
Note
Procedure
Step 1
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector into the MSM port that corresponds to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 1 of
the ONS 15454 M6 shelf used as the node controller.
b) Plug the other connector into the MSM port that corresponds to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot
1 of the ONS 15454 M6 shelf used as subtending shelf.
Step 2
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector into the MSM port that corresponds to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 8 of
the ONS 15454 M6 shelf used as the node controller.
b) Plug the other connector into the MSM port that corresponds to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot
8 of the ONS 15454 M6 shelf used as subtending shelf.
Step 3
Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to connect the remaining two MSM ports of the ONS 15454 M6 shelf, used as the
node controller, to the subsequent subtending ONS 15454 M6 shelf assemblies.
The node controller can support up to three subtended shelves, while each of the subtended shelf
can support only two more SSCs.
Note
Step 4
To extend the number of SSCs, using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector to any one of the remaining MSM ports of the ONS 15454 M6 SSCs in the first layer.
b) Plug the other connector to any one of the MSM ports of the ONS 15454 M6 SSCs in the next layer.
c) Repeat a and b to connect the remaining MSM ports of the ONS 15454 M6 in the first layer to the next
layer.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
