Description

This lab-intensive course introduces you to the Cisco Optical Network System (ONS) time-division multiplexing (TDM) family of transport products. The Cisco ONS 15454, ONS 15600, ONS 15310-MA, and ONS 15310-CL are SONET transport system components that can be mixed and matched to create high-speed optical transport networks. You will learn about the SONET optical hierarchy OC-3 (155 Mbps), OC-12 (644 Mbps), OC-48 (2.5 Gbps), and OC-192 (10 Gbps). You will learn how DS-1 (1.5 Mbps) and DS-3 (45 Mbps) electrical signals are carried in the SONET optical links.

The course covers Ethernet circuits at Layer 1 and Layer 2 using CE and ML cards. Included in this course is how to configure and build circuits through the ADM10G card, a TDM card in the ONS 15454 DWDM system. The course covers electrical, Ethernet, and optical protection options; linear and ring topologies; circuit building; and troubleshooting. Each student team has an ONS 15454, ONS 15600, ONS 15310-MA, and ONS-15310-CL to work with.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• List and describe the major features and benefits of the Cisco ONS SONET products
• Set up and use the PC to connect to the ONS SONET network
• Provision the shelf for 1:1 and 1:N electrical protection
• Provision the shelf for optical protection 1+1, path ring, and line ring
• Create circuits at the DS3 and VT1.5 levels
• Provision Ethernet ports and create circuits between Ethernet components
• Provision the ADM-10G DWDM card and install circuits
• Move circuits using the bridge-and-roll capability of Cisco SONET system

Prerequisites

Although there are no course prerequisites, knowledge of DS1, DS3, and SONET would be highly useful.

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for maintenance personnel, transport engineers, and managers who require a detailed understanding of SONET transport network components, interconnection, circuit building, and maintenance.
