Setting Up ONS 15454 SDH Timing
• Framing—Choose the framing used by your BITS reference, either unframed, FAS, FAS + CAS,
FAS + CRC, or FAS + CAS + CRC. If you selected 2.048 MHz, or 64 KHz, the framing option is
disabled.
• Sync Messaging—Select the checkbox to enable synchronization status message (SSM). SSM is
used to deliver clock quality. The SSM supported in SDH is G811, STU, G812T, G812L, SETS,
DUS (ordered from high quality to low quality). If you selected 2.048 MHz, or 64 KHz, the SSM
option is disabled.
• AIS Threshold—Sets the quality level at which a node sends an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) from
the BITS 1 Out and BITS 2 Out FMEC connector. When a node times at or below the AIS Threshold
quality, an AIS is sent. (The AIS Threshold is used when Sync. Messaging is disabled or framing is
set to unframed, FAS, or FAS + CAS.)
• LBO—Choose a BITS cable length. Line build out (LBO) relates to the BITS cable length.
• Sa bit—Choose one of 5 Sa bits (Sa4, Sa5, Sa6, Sa7, and Sa8). The Sa bit transmits the SSM
message. If you selected 2.048 MHz or 64 KHz, the Sa bit option is disabled.
Step 4 Under Reference Lists, complete the following information:
Figure 3-15 Reference list on the ONS 15454 SDH timing tab
Note Reference lists define up to three timing references for the node and up to six BITS Out
references. BITS Out references define the timing references used by equipment attached to
the node’s MIC-C/T/P FMEC Timing A and Timing B Out connector. If you attach
equipment to the Timing A or B Out connector, you normally attach it to a node with Line
mode because equipment near the External timing reference can be directly wired to the
reference.
• NE Reference—Allows you to define three timing references (Ref 1, Ref 2, Ref 3). The node uses
Reference 1 unless a failure occurs to that reference, in which case, the node uses Reference 2. If
Reference 2 fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to Internal Clock. The internal
clock is the Stratum 3 clock provided on the TCC-I. The options displayed depend on the Timing
Mode setting.
–
Timing Mode set to External—Your options are BITS1, BITS2, and Internal Clock.
–
Timing Mode set to Line—Your options are the node’s working optical cards and Internal
Clock. Select the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the
BITS source, that is, select the node’s trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is
closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS
source, select Slot 5 as Reference 1.
