In order to connect the ONS 15454 M6 subtending shelves to the ONS 15454 M6 node controller
without using a catalyst, follow the steps described in
NTP-G308 Connect the ONS 15454 M6
Multishelf Node and the ONS 15454 M6 Subtending Shelves, on page 137
. To connect an ONS
15454 subtending shelf to the ONS 15454 M6 node controller without using a catalyst switch,
connect the MSM ports that correspond to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE cards in Slot 1 and Slot 8
of the ONS 15454 M6 node controller to the ONS 15454 subtending shelf TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3
cards in Slot 7 and Slot 11.

The MSM (multishelf management) 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
Use the craft terminal port or the EMS port present on the ECU module to connect the ONS 15454 M6 node
controller to the LAN.
