Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide, R6.0
Chapter 2 Procedures and Provisioning
2.5.1 Provision a PCA Cross-Connection
Note • Cisco ONS 15600 does not support BLSR for OC-12.
• The network must be configured as either a two-fiber or four-fiber OC-12, OC-48, or OC-192 BLSR.
• The STS or VT1 path cross-connection can be established with TL1 commands (ENT-CRS-xxx).
• Because the RTRV-CRS-xxx command does not include the optional CTYPE field to specify a
connection type, the output result reports the matched cross-connections based on the queried
AID(s); therefore, the retrieved cross-connection inventory can be both PCA and non-PCA
cross-connections.
2.5.1 Provision a PCA Cross-Connection
Input format for provisioning a PCA cross-connection:
Example 2-25 ENT-CRS-<PATH>:[<TID>]:<FROM>,<TO>:<CTAG>::[<CCT>][::];
<PATH>::={STS_PATH | VT1}
[ < C C T > ] : : = { 1 WAY, 1 WAY D C , 1 WAY E N , 2 WAY, 1 WAYP C A , 2 WAY P C A } , i t d e fau l t s t o 2 WAY.
{STS_PATH}::={STS1 | STS3C | STS6C | STS9C | STS12C | STS24C | STS48C | STS192C}
STS= all the STS bandwidth cross-connections.
VT1=VT1_5 cross-connection.
Input example of provisioning an STS3C PCA cross-connection:
Example 2-26 ENT-CRS-STS3C::STS-1-1,STS-2-1:123::2WAYPCA;
Note If the [<CCT>] of this cross-connection provisioning command is either 1WAYPCA or 2WAYPCA, and
the NONE of both <FROM> and <TO> AID is PCA AID, an IIAC ( Input, Invalid PCA AIDs) error
message is returned.
Note If sending this command with a non-PCA cross-connection type (CCT), and one (or two) AIDs is/are the
PCA AIDs, an IIAC (The PCA AID Is Not Allowed for the Queried CCT Type) error message is
returned.
2.5.2 Retrieve a PCA Cross-Connection
Input Format for retrieving a PCA cross-connection:
Example 2-27 RTRV-CRS-[<PATH>]:[<TID>]:<AID>:<CTAG>[::::];<PATH>::=
{STS_PATH | VT1 | STS}
