D.3 ETSI Platform Defaults
The following sections give the NE defaults for the 15454 ETSI platform. To see defaults for the 15454 
ANSI platform, see the “D.2 ANSI Platform Defaults” section on page D-2.
D.3.1 ETSI Card Default Settings
The tables in this section list the default settings for each DWDM, TXP, and MXP card. For all other 
cards, including optical, electrical, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH 
Reference Manual.
Cisco provides user-configurable defaults for the Cisco ONS 15454 cards, including:
• Soak Time—All cards. The length of time that elapses between an AINS port receiving a valid signal 
and when it automatically changes to in-service status. 
• Port State (config state)—All cards. Sets the port to one of the five available administrative states 
(unlocked; locked,disabled; locked,maintenance; unlocked,automaticInService), depending on 
whether you need ports in or out of service.
• SF BER Level—TXP and MXP cards. Defines the signal fail bit error rate.
• SD BER Level—TXP and MXP cards. Defines the signal degrade bit error rate.
• Enable Sync Messages—MXP cards. Enables synchronization status messages (S1 byte), which 
allow the node to choose the best timing source. 
• Send Do Not Use—TXP and MXP cards. Sends a DUS message on the S1 byte when enabled. 
• Payload Type—TXP and MXP cards. Defines the type of client signal.
• Termination Mode—TXP and MXP cards. Defines the type of termination (line, section, or 
transparent).
• ALS Mode—TXP and MXP cards. Sets the automatic laser shutdown feature to one of four available 
states (disabled, auto restart, manual restart, manual restart for test).
• ALS Recovery Interval—TXP and MXP cards. Sets the automatic laser shutdown recovery time 
interval.
• ALS Recovery Pulse Width—TXP and MXP cards. Sets the automatic laser shutdown recovery 
pulse signal width.
• FEC—TXP and MXP cards. Enables or disables the FEC monitoring on the optical transport 
network.
• G.709 OTN—TXP and MXP cards. Enables or disables the ITU-T G.709 monitoring on the optical 
transport network.
• FEC Thresholds—TXP and MXP cards. Set the performance monitoring parameters for gathering 
FEC performance data and detecting problems early.
• Optical Thresholds—TXP and MXP cards. Set the performance monitoring parameters for gathering 
physical optics performance data and detecting problems early.
• OTN Thresholds—TXP and MXP cards. Set the performance monitoring parameters for gathering 
OTN trunk-side performance data and detecting problems early.
• PM Threshold settings—All cards. Set the performance monitoring parameters for gathering 
performance data and detecting problems early.
