Card Reference
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This chapter describes Cisco ONS 15454 dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) card and
client card features and functions. It also describes the common control cards needed to support them as
well as the optical plug-in modules (Small Form-factor Pluggables [SFPs]). For installation and card
turn-up procedures, refer to Chapter 3, “Turn Up a Node.” For card safety and compliance information,
refer to the Cisco Optical Transport Products Safety and Compliance Information document.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
