The ECU cannot be pre-provisioned in CTC. After the ECU is physically plugged into Slot 18 of the NCS
2015 shelf, the unit is detected by CTC and all the entities of the ECU such as the USB ports, RJ-45 ports,
and the optical pluggable ports are created in CTC. In the ECU card view in CTC, only the pluggable ports
are visible. The ECU card view displays the Alarms, Conditions, History, Provisioning and Maintenance
sub-tabs. All the values in these sub-tabs, except for the port name, are display only. Performance monitoring
is not supported on the pluggable FE ports of the ECU. The MS-ISC (RJ-45) ports are displayed in the CTC
ECU card view > Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tab. The IMPROPRMVL alarm is raised
in CTC when the ECU is removed from the NCS 2015 shelf. The ECU entities and the ECU card view in
CTC remain as they are, even though the ECU has been removed from the NCS 2015 shelf. The ECU cannot
be deleted in CTC.
The Fiber Shuffle or the CDC fan out unit can be connected to the NCS 2015 ECU using the USB 3.0 port.

Passive Unit Inventory Interfaces

The passive unit inventory interfaces (USB ports) are used to retrieve inventory information from passive
devices such as fiber trays, FBG DCU, patch panels, passive multiplexer or demultiplexer, and so on. There
are 14 USB (12 USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports.) ports on the NCS 2015 ECU. The inventory details
are displayed in the Inventory tab in CTC.

MSM

The multishelf management (MSM) port is an RJ-45 or SFP port that is used to connect the NCS 2015 shelf
to other NCS 2015 or NCS 2015 shelves that are a part of the multishelf configuration. There are six MSM
ports on the NCS 2015 ECU module.
Three MSM ports (one RJ-45 port and two SFP ports) are prefixed with M and correspond to the TNCS card
in Slot 1. The other three MSM ports (one RJ-45 port and two SFP ports) are prefixed with P and correspond
to the TNCS card in slot 17. The SFP modules must be plugged in for using the optical MSM ports. MSM
