The multishelf management (MSM) 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/TNCS/TNCS-O card in Slot 1,
and the MSM ports located on the right side correspond to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O
card in Slot 8. For more information about the ECU module and MSM ports, see the External Connection
Units, on page 270.
Note
If a standalone node has unsupported cards, the node cannot be converted to a node controller or a subtended
shelf controller.
Note
Cisco NCS multi-shelf node does not support connecting to Cisco ONS 15454 M12 subtended shelf.Note
Procedure
Step 1
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector into the MSM port that corresponds to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O
card in Slot 1 of the NCS 2006 shelf used as the node controller.
b) Plug the other connector into the MSM port that corresponds to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O
card in Slot 1 of the NCS 2006 shelf used as subtending shelf.
Step 2
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector into the MSM port that corresponds to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O
card in Slot 8 of the NCS 2006 shelf used as the node controller.
b) Plug the other connector into the MSM port that corresponds to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O
card in Slot 8 of the NCS 2006 shelf used as subtending shelf.
Step 3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to connect the remaining two MSM ports of the NCS 2006 shelf, used as the node
controller, to the subsequent subtending NCS 2006 shelf assemblies.
The node controller can support up to three subtended shelves, while each of the subtended shelf can
support only two more SSCs.
Note
Step 4
To extend the number of SSCs, using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector to any one of the remaining MSM ports of the NCS 2006 SSCs in the first layer.
b) Plug the other connector to any one of the MSM ports of the NCS 2006 SSCs in the next layer.
c) Repeat a and b to connect the remaining MSM ports of the NCS 2006 in the first layer to the next layer.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
