2.1.8.6 CTPs
All CTPs are in channelized mode for the ONS 15454 SONET. Alarm monitoring cannot be
turned on or off for CTPs.

2.1.8.7 SNCs
One node supports a maximum of 144 bidirectional STS SNCs with an XC or Cross-Connect
Virtual Tributary (XCVT) card installed or 576 bidirectional STS SNCs with a 10 Gigabit Cross-
Connect (XC10G) card installed. If an XCVT or XC10G card is present, you can create a maximum
of 336 bidirectional VT1.5 SNCs.

The SNC name cannot exceed 48 characters. The NE enforces the SNC name character limit.
2.1.8.8 Equipment Protection
1:N equipment protection is supported for DS1, DS3, DS3I, and DS3E cards. You must install
protect cards (DS1N, DS3N, DS3IN, and DS3NE) in slot 3 or slot 15 on the same side of the shelf
as the protected cards. Protect cards must match the cards they protect. For example, a DS1N
protects only DS1 or DS1N cards. You must create the protection group. Installing DS1N or
DS3N cards in slot 3 or slot 15 does not automatically protect other DS1 or DS3 cards. 1:N
equipment protection is always revertive.

1:1 equipment protection is supported for DS1, DS3, DS3I, DS3E, EC-1, and DS3XM cards. Install
the protect card in an odd-numbered slot and install the working card in an adjacent even-
numbered slot. For example, install the protect card in slot 1 and install the working card in slot
2.

2.1.8.9 Facility Protection
Facility protection is available for OC-n PTPs. Protect ports must match the working ports. For
example, port 1 on an OC-3 card is protected only by port 1 on another OC-3 card.

2.1.8.10 Autodiscovery
The ONS 15454 SONET supports automatic discovery of connected elements. Prime Optical can
connect to one node and retrieve information about all connected nodes. The first time Prime
Optical connects to a node, it retrieves only the IP address of the connected node; Prime
Optical does not retrieve the node name. However, Prime Optical must report this element to
the users. Because the IP address is unique, Prime Optical initializes the name of the newly
discovered element with the IP address. An object creation event is generated for this managed
element with the IP address as the name. Later, Prime Optical connects to this element and
retrieves all information, including the actual name, and an AVC event is generated for the
managed element name. The NMS listens to the AVC event for the managed element name and
invokes managedElementManager::ManagedElementManager_I:: getManagedElement.
