BITS Timing Connections on the CAP/CAP2
1.7.3 LAN Installation
Use a straight-through LAN cable with the LAN port on the CAP or CAP2 to connect the
ONS 15600 SDH to a hub, switch, or a LAN modem for remote access to the node. Use a crossover cable
when connecting the CAP or CAP2 to a workstation. You can also use a straight-through or crossover
LAN cable with the LAN port on the active TSC faceplate to connect directly to the local ONS 15600
SDH.
Note
Do not use the LAN port on the active TSC card for remote monitoring because you will lose
connectivity to the node if the other TSC card in the shelf becomes the active TSC card.
1.7.4 TL1 Craft Interface Installation
To open a TL1 session using the craft interface on a PC, use the RJ-45 port on the active TSC card to
access the system using a standard web browser. If a browser is not available, you can access the system
using one of the two EIA/TIA-232 ports on the CAP or CAP2. Each EIA/TIA-232 port supports VT100
emulation so that you can enter TL1 commands directly without using a web browser. Because the CAP
and CAP2 EIA/TIA-232 port is set up as a data terminal equipment (DTE) interface, you must use a
3-pair swapping null modem adapter when you are working in a UNIX or PC environment so that the
TXD/RXC, DSR/DTR, and CTS/RTS pins are swapped. Use a standard pin D-sub cable when
connecting to a PC. Refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH and Cisco ONS 15600 SDH TL1 Command
Guide
for more information.
Note
Do not use the LAN port on the active TSC card for remote monitoring because you will lose
connectivity to the node if the other TSC card in the shelf becomes the active TSC card.
