16.2.1 TCC2 Card
The Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control (TCC2) card performs system initialization, 
provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, diagnostics, IP address detection/resolution, SONET 
section overhead (SOH) data communications channel/generic communications channel (DCC/GCC) 
termination, optical service channel (OSC) DWDM data communications network (DCN) termination, 
and system fault detection for the ONS 15454. The TCC2 also ensures that the system maintains 
Stratum 3 (Telcordia GR-253-CORE) timing requirements. It monitors the supply voltage of the system. 
Note The LAN interface of the TCC2 card meets the standard Ethernet specifications by supporting a cable 
length of 328 ft (100 m) at temperatures from 32 to 149 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 65 degrees Celsius).
Figure 16-1 shows the faceplate and block diagram for the TCC2.
