Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards
This chapter explains how to provision transponder (TXP) and muxponder (MXP) cards. The
provisioning must be performed before you provision the dense wavelength division multiplexing
(DWDM) network and create circuits.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
Before You Begin
Before performing any of the following procedures, investigate all alarms and clear any trouble
conditions. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH
Troubleshooting Guide as necessary.
Caution Provisioning TXPs and MXPs can be service affecting. You should make all changes during a scheduled
maintenance window.
This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).
1. NTP-G128 Manage Pluggable Port Modules, page 5-2—Complete this procedure to provision a
multirate pluggable port module (PPM), provision or change the optical line rate of a PPM, or delete
a PPM. PPMs provide the fiber interface to the TXP and MXP cards. With the exception of the
TXP_MR_10G card, all TXPs and MXP accept PPMs.
2. NTP-G33 Create a Y-Cable Protection Group, page 5-10—Complete this procedure, as needed, for
TXP and MXP cards that will be protected with Y-cable protection.
3. NTP-G96 Modify Line Settings and PM Parameter Thresholds for TXP_MR_10G and
TXP_MR_10E Cards, page 5-12—As needed, complete this procedure to change the transmission
settings for TXP_MR_10G and TXP_MR_10E cards.
4. NTP-G97 Modify Line Settings and PM Parameter Thresholds for MXP_2.5G_10G and
MXP_2.5G_10E Cards, page 5-31—As needed, complete this procedure to change the transmission
settings for MXP_2.5G_10G and MXP_2.5G_10E cards.
5. NTP-G98 Modify Line Settings and PM Parameter Thresholds for TXP_MR_2.5G and
TXPP_MR_2.5G Cards, page 5-48—As needed, complete this procedure to change the transmission
settings for TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G cards.
