C.2 Card Default Settings
The tables in this section list the default settings for each card. Cisco provides user-configurable defaults
for the Cisco ONS 15600 optical and electrical cards, including:
•

When the card level defaults are changed, the new provisioning done after the defaults have changed is

affected. Existing provisioning remains unaffected.

Changing some NE defaults can cause CTC disconnection or a reboot of the node in order for
the default to take effect. Before you change a default, check in the Side Effects column of the
Defaults editor (right-click a column header and select Show Column > Side Effects) and be
prepared for the occurrence of any side effects listed for that default.
Soak Time (all cards) is the length of time that elapses between an automaticInService (AINS) port
receiving a valid signal and when it automatically changes to in-service status.
Port State (all cards) sets the port to one of the four available states (IS, OOS, OOS_MT, or
IS_AINS), depending on whether you need ports in or out of service.
SF BER Level (all cards) defines the signal fail (SF) bit error rate(BER).
SD BER Level (all cards) defines the Signal Degrade (SD) BER.
Enable Sync Messages (all cards) enables synchronization status messages (SSM) (S1 byte), which
allow the node to choose the best timing source.
PJ Sts Mon (OC-N cards) sets the STS that will be used for pointer justification. If set to 0, no STS
is monitored.
STS IPPM Enabled (OC-N cards) enables intermediate-path performance monitoring (IPPM) on a
node for transparent monitoring of a channel that does not terminate on that node.
Send Do Not Use (all cards) sends a do not use (DUS) message on the S1 byte when enabled.
PM Threshold Settings (all cards) set the performance monitoring (PM) parameters for gathering
performance data and detecting problems early.
Physical Threshold Settings (all cards) set the range of values possible for transmit and receive
power, and for laser bias.
