3.1 Overview
The cards for the ONS 15454 SDH include front mount electrical connection cards (FMECs), common
control cards, electrical cards, optical cards, and Ethernet cards. Each card is marked with a symbol that
corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 SDH shelf assembly. The cards are then installed into
slots displaying the same symbols (refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Installation and Operations
Guide, R3.3 for a list of slots/symbols). The overview in this section provides a summary of the cards.
3.1.1 Common Control Cards
The common control cards are the Timing Communications and Control International (TCC-I) card, and
the Cross Connect 10 GBits/s (Gbps) XC10G card. The TCC-I is the main processing center of the ONS
15454 SDH and provides system initialization, provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, and
diagnostics. The XC10G card is the central element for switching; it establishes connections and
performs time division switching (TDS). Power supply and alarming interfaces are dealt with in the
Electrical Cards section of this chapter.
