This section documents supplemental changes that have been added to the Release Notes for Cisco ONS 
15454 SDH Release 8.0 since the production of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH System Software CD for 
Release 8.0.

The following changes have been added to the release notes for Release 8.0.

Added the issue of RTRV-FAC TL1 command showing the payload as FSTE instead of GIGE on the 
ML1000-2 card in the resolved caveats section.

The following caveat has been added to the release notes:

Review the notes listed below before deploying the ONS 15454 SDH. Caveats with tracking numbers 
are known system limitations that are scheduled to be addressed in a subsequent release. Caveats without 
tracking numbers are provided to point out procedural or situational considerations when deploying the 
product.

Rarely, the non-enhanced Muxponder unit does not pass Jitter Tolerance test from Trunk port to client 
port as per ITU-T G.825, 2 Mb/s mask, at the 10 Hz specific setpoint. The Muxponder should be 
configured with G.709 Off, FEC Off and Trunk signal provided by external Jitter test box, and the unit 
client port output monitored for errors, to see this issue. This issue will not be resolved. Note, however, 
that in normal network configurations the muxponder is operated with G.709 and FEC turned on, and 
the jitter tolerance tests pass.
