The port name field configured in CTC and the port name configured in Cisco IOS are independent of

each other. The name for the same port under Cisco IOS and CTC does not match, unless the same name
is used to configure the port name in both CTC and Cisco IOS.
Provisioning Card Mode
The card mode provisioning window shows the mode currently configured on the ML-Series card and
allows the user to change it to either HDLC, GFP-F, or 802.17 RPR. For more information on HDLC or
GFP-F, see
The user may also pre-provision the card mode of an ML-Series card before the card is physically
installed. The ML-Series card will then boot up into the pre-provisioned mode. If the correct microcode
image is not already loaded, setting the card mode to 802.17 will automatically download and enable the
correct microcode image for IEEE compliant 802.17b.
The ML-Series card reboots after the card mode is changed.
Caution
Click the Provisioning > Card tabs to display this window. Use the Mode drop-down list and then click
Apply to provision the card mode type. Click Yes at the Reset Card dialog box that appears.
Managing SONET/SDH Alarms
CTC manages the ML-Series SONET/SDH alarm behavior in the same manner as it manages alarm
behavior for other ONS 15454 SONET/SDH cards. Refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter of the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide for detailed
Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide, R8.0

CTC Display of POS Port Provisioning Status
Description
A check indicates alarm suppression is set on the port for the time
designated in the Soak Time column.
Desired soak time in hours and minutes. Use this column when you have
checked PSAS to suppress alarms. Once the port detects a signal, the
countdown begins for the designated soak time. Soak time hours can be set
from 0 to 48. Soak time minutes can be set from 0 to 45 in 15 minute
increments.
The maximum transfer unit, which is the largest acceptable packet size
configured for that port. The maximum setting is 9000. The default size is
1500 for the G-Series card compatible encapsulation (LEX) and 4470 for
Cisco HDLC and Point-to-Point Protocol/Bridging Control Protocol
(PPP/BCP) encapsulation.
HDLC or frame-mapped generic framing procedure (GFP-F) framing type
shows the POS framing mechanism being employed on the port.
