3.3.1 DS1N-14 Features and Functions
The DS1N-14 card supports the same features as the DS1-14 card in addition to enhanced protection
schemes. The DS1N-14 is capable of 1:N (N <= 5) protection with the proper backplane EIA and
wire-wrap or AMP Champ connectors. The DS1N-14 card can function as a working or protect card in
1:1 or 1:N protection schemes.
If you use the DS1N-14 as a standard DS-1 card in a 1:1 protection group, you can install the DS1N-14
card in Slots 1 to 6 or 12 to 17 on the ONS 15454. If you use the card's 1:N functionality, you must install

of up to 655 feet (200 meters) depending on facility conditions.
