13.3 13.3 Provisionable Patchcords
Note If the OCSM card is installed in Slot 8, provisionable patchcords from OC-N ports to the following cards
are not supported on the same node: MXP_2.5G_10G, TXP_MR_10G, TXP(P)_MR_2.5G,
MXP_2.5G_10E, TXP_MR_10E, 32MUX-O, 32DMX-O, 32WSS, and 32DMX.
Table 13-6 lists the supported card combinations for client-to-client ports in a patchcord.
Table 13-7 lists the supported card combinations for trunk-to-trunk ports in a patchcord.
Optical ports have the following requirements when used in a provisionable patchcord:
• An optical port connected to a TXP/MXP port, add/drop multiplexer port, or
multiplexer/demultiplexer port requires a Section DCC/Line DCC (SDCC/LDCC) termination.
• If the optical port is the protection port in a 1+1 group, the working port must have an SDCC/LDCC
termination provisioned.
• If the remote end of a patchcord is Y-cable protected or is an add/drop multiplexer or
multiplexer/demultiplexer port, an optical port requires two patchcords.
TXP and MXP ports have the following requirements when used in a provisionable patchcord:
• Two patchcords are required when a TXP/MXP port is connected to an add/drop multiplexer or
multiplexer/demultiplexer port. CTC automatically prompts the user to set up the second patchcord.
• If a patchcord is on a client port in a regenerator group, the other end of the patchcord must be on
the same node and on a port within the same regenerator group.
• A patchcord is allowed on a client port only if the card is in transparent mode.
DWDM cards support provisionable patchcords only on optical channel ports. Each DWDM optical
channel port can have only one provisionable patchcord.
