2.9.3 CTC Card Resetting and Switching
This section gives instructions for resetting traffic cards, TCC2/TCC2Ps, and cross-connect cards.
Caution For TXP and MXP cards placed in a Y-cable protection group, do not perform a software reset on both
cards simultaneously. Doing so will cause a traffic hit of more than one minute. For more information
about Y-cable protection groups, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Caution Resetting the active card in a Y-cable group will cause a traffic outage if the standby card is down for
any reason.
Note When an AIC-I card is reset in CTC, any subsequent user client operations (such as CTC or TL1 activity)
is paused for approximately 5-10 seconds. The reset does not cause any conditions to be raised.
Note For more information about MXP and TXP cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference
Manual.
Reset a Traffic Card in CTC
Step 1 Log into a node on the network. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 In node view, position the cursor over the optical or electrical traffic card slot reporting the alarm.
Step 3 Right-click the card. Choose Reset Card from the shortcut menu.
Step 4 Click Yes in the Resetting Card dialog box.
Reset an Active TCC2/TCC2P Card and Activate the Standby Card
Caution Resetting an active TCC2/TCC2P can be service-affecting.
Note Before you reset the TCC2/TCC2P, you should wait at least 60 seconds after the last provisioning change
you made to avoid losing any changes to the database.
