Creating Linear ADM Configurations
5.10 Creating Linear ADM Configurations
You can configure ONS 15454 SDHs as a line of add/drop multiplexers (ADMs) by configuring one set
of STM-N cards as the working path and a second set as the protect path. Unlike rings, linear
(point-to-point) ADMs require that the STM-N cards at each node have a 1+1 protection scheme to
ensure that a break to the working line is automatically routed to the protect line.
Figure 5-39 on page 5-52 shows three ONS 15454 SDHs in a linear ADM configuration. Working traffic
flows from Node 1/Slot 6 to Node 2/Slot 6, and from Node 2/Slot 12 to Node 3/Slot 12. You create the
protect path by placing Slot 6 in 1+1 protection with Slot 5 at Nodes 1 and 2, and placing Slot 12 in 1+1
protection with Slot 13 at Nodes 2 and 3.

Procedure: Create a Linear ADM
Step 1 Complete the general setup information for a node that you want to configure for linear ADM. For
procedures, see the “Setting Up Basic Node Information” section on page 3-2.
Step 2 Set up the network information for the node. For procedures, see the “Setting Up Network Information”
section on page 3-4.
Step 3 Set up 1+1 protection for the STM-N cards in the ADM. In Figure 5-39 on page 5-52, Slots 6 and 12 are
the working ports and Slots 5 and 13 are the protect ports. In this example, you would set up one
protection group for Node 1 (Slots 5 and 6), two for Node 2 (Slots 5 and 6, and 12 and 13) and one for
Node 3 (Slots 12 and 13). To create protection groups, see the “Creating Card Protection Groups” section
on page 3-24.
Step 4 For STM-N ports connecting ONS 15454 SDHs, set the SDH DCC terminations:
a. Start CTC for a linear ADM node and choose the Provisioning > SDH DCC tabs.
b. In the SDCC Terminations section, click Create.
c. Deselect the “Set Port In Service” checkbox.
Note The terminating nodes (Nodes 1 and 3 in Figure 5-39 on page 5-52) will have one SDCC, and
the intermediate nodes (Node 2 in Figure 5-39) will have two SDCCs.
Purpose Use this procedure to create a linear ADM. Complete the following steps
for each node that will be included in the linear ADM.
